Mr. Luchini replied that the question is unique to every single site. He explained that sometimes trees can be accommodated on site based on the site plan, especially if the site is bigger, but these are pretty tight Downtown sites and a lot is trying to get accommodated on site. Commissioner Ritter stated that it all goes back to what pencils out for the developer, and he is fine with paying into the Urban Forestry Fund. Commissioner O'Connor inquired what the total cost to the Urban Forestry Fund would be. Mr. Luchini replied that staff would have an arborist brought on board to determine the value of each of the trees, and the fee would then be determined. L. What other information would the Planning Commission wish to see to assist its decision on the proposals (e.g., color and material board, photo simulations, etc.)? Chair Allen noted that story poles is a given Commissioner O'Connor commented on the colors, which was brought up earlier. He noted that there are a couple of different renditions and agreed with Chair Allen that bright white is too stark, although the photo on the front of the plans is not quite as bright and looks a little more of a cream color. He indicated that he does not mind if it goes light tan either, so long as it comes off of the bright stark white. Chair Allen agreed and noted that the front of the commercial building looks a lot softer. Mr. Grant stated that the color looks brighter than the actual paint chip and that it can be softened. He added that they can also use tan. Commissioner Piper stated that she likes white; she likes diversity and thinks it looks good. Commissioner O'Connor stated that when Phil Blank was on the Planning Commission, he would refer to the "Pleasanton look." He continued that he would like to get more definitive numbers about how expensive Heritage trees might be because he would like to know what trade -off's the City can have on some of those and maybe save a few dollars. Chair Allen asked staff to get input from the PDA or any other appropriate groups regarding service kinds of businesses or other uses where Main Street might be too expensive but might be appropriate on a side street, should the commercial element of this project were to expand a little. Mr. Weinstein replied that can be done. He indicated that staff has already had relatively informal conversations with the PDA, and staff expects PDA to issue some sort of written response as well regarding the project before it comes back to the Planning Commission.
