ATTACHMENT 10 THE CITY OF -_ - pLEASANTONC MEMORANDUM Date: August 26, 2015 To: Planning Commissioners From: Brian Dolan, Assistant City Manager Subject: Item 6. a., PUD-25, Greenbriar Homes, Lund Ranch II The subject application was heard by the Planning Commission on June 24, 2015. At that meeting (see Exhibit A for the Minutes Excerpt), the Commission had four members in attendance who were able to vote on the project. After extensive testimony from the community and a lengthy discussion among the Commissioners, the four Commissioners were unable to achieve majority support for any motion. Per the Commissioner's Handbook, the item was then rescheduled to a subsequent meeting at which a full Planning Commission would be available. At the July 22, 2015 meeting and in follow-up correspondence, the Commissioners expressed interest in additional information on: (1) the grading impacts of the potential road connection to Sunset Creek Lane; and (2) whether a connection to Sunset Creek Lane could be built without traversing a 25-percent slope. These topics are discussed below: 1. Grading impacts of potential road connections. The applicant has provided the attached information relative to the potential Sunset Creek connection (see Exhibit B). The attached information includes design data and plans for three options: (1) Option A, a 32-foot wide roadway and eight-foot wide trail with no retaining walls (except at the bottom of the hill where the road would need to cross the existing creek); (2) Option B, a 32-foot wide roadway and eight-foot wide trail with retaining walls; and (3) Option C, a narrower 24-foot wide roadway and eight-foot wide trail without retaining walls (except at the bottom of the hill). Two sections for Options A and B are provided, showing the locations of maximum cut and maximum fill for each Option. The summary comparison of the Options provides information on street length, area of street coverage and grading, amount of grading in areas over 25-percent slope (with truck-load equivalents), the number of heritage trees that would need to be removed, amount of cut-and-fill, maximum depth of cut-and-fill, and the length and size of walls required.
