at the work session and the Commission supported at the work session that a private street is acceptable to provide access to the two new home sites. Retaining Wall. A four- to nine-foot high retaining wall would be constructed on portions of the east side of the road and a four-foot high retaining wall would be constructed on portions of the west side of the road. To mitigate the visibility of the east retaining wall, the height of the retaining walls could be reduced by breaking the wall into two or more parallel/terraced walls. However, this option would result in removal of some of the existing heritage-sized trees, which the applicants are trying to preserve. Therefore, instead of terracing the retaining walls, staff recommends using landscaping to screen the wall. A condition of approval has been included to address this item. The exterior color of the retaining wall would be earth tone to blend into the hillside and landscaping would be installed to screen the retaining wall. The applicants have not specified the material for the retaining wall. A condition has been added requiring the material of the retaining wall be specified on the improvement plan and is subject to review and approval by the Director of Community Development. Home Site Locations. The VACSP allows three new residential home sites in the northern HR portion of the existing site. The VACSP Land Use Plan shows an irregular "blob" shape (mustard colored area shown in the figure below) indicating the approximate location of the three new home sites. Instead of three new residential lots, the applicants propose two new lots. Please see the diagram below showing the proposed two new lots superimposed onto the VACSP land use plan. .4):// 'Y.?' rye" , .. ..., _ . .„.„,.. ,,,e. -- - IV q.ir 411106, - b •__ _ �1 f • . •. lk "' --- INN iLil 41hir w.tr1s, .'
