Commissioner Allen inquired what the habitable square footage of other homes in the area are. Ms. Soo replied that there are three tract homes and production homes — two built by Greenbriar Communities and one by Centex Homes. She indicated that the total building area for each Centex Homes tract averages 4,500 square feet to 8,900 square feet; and the Greenbriar Homes are almost 5,000 square feet to 5,600 square feet. Commissioner Allen inquired if staff had the sizes of the Silver Oak homes. Ms. Soo replied that the homes range from 3,500 square feet to 4,700 square feet, and the total building area ranges from 4,400 square feet to about 5,600 square feet. Commissioner O'Connor inquired what the average lot size is. Ms. Soo replied that the smaller one is 19,430 square feet, which is less than a half -acre. Commissioner Posson inquired which Alternative best addresses the neighbors' concerns. Ms. Stern replied that the neighbors would have to speak on which of those Alternatives they think best addresses their concerns. She noted that all the Alternatives were designed so that the road was on the other side of the development and, therefore, addressed all of the concerns about privacy, headlights from cars, and other similar issues. She added that Lot 2, which is currently just about the peak of the hill, was brought down the hill slightly to address some of their concerns. Commissioner Posson requested confirmation that staff then does not know whether or not either of these Alternatives would be acceptable to those individuals. Ms. Soo replied that the neighbors have received all the information, and one neighbor, a resident of Pietronave Lane, came in and indicated that he definitely did not like the three -lot Alternative, Option 1, and that he was not sure which option he preferred. He also requested that the Commission not make a decision tonight. Commissioner Posson noted that the Slope Classification Map on Exhibit B indicates that there are some slopes greater than 20 percent. He inquired if there are any greater than 25 percent, that is, if there is any implication with Measure PP in this area. Mr. Dolan said no. Chair Pearce inquired if there is any indication in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan (VACSP) as to the location of the road. Ms. Stern replied that it just shows where the road is and where it ends. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, July 24, 2013 Page 7 of 20
