think that this does reduce the perception of grading and actual apparent grading that's happening on this site even if it's viewed not straight on or viewed from an angle. Again, not a huge difference, but we think it's noticeable and was worth exploring. Commissioner Nagler: But noticeable only to the period that the vegetation is growing, right, until it matures? It's that interim period, right? Weinstein: Yes. Commissioner Nagler: Okay, thank you. Commissioner Balch: I agree with Commissioner Nagler's comment. I initially thought I was supportive of staff's recommendation to reduce, but after hearing the applicant and kind of thinking about it and obviously looking at the circular drive and hearing the comment about no off - street parking or no off - property parking, I'm tending to lean in support of the applicant, as designed. My only comment to that or to try to help address concerns would be that we look at the sizes of the boxes of the three trees that are going to be planted on the front there and maybe we upsize those. Chair Ritter: I'm hearing a lot of give and take. You've worked with the applicant and worked with the neighbor, have done some tweaks here and there, and I'm in favor of recommending approval and I like what Commissioner Balch suggested. I'm more concerned about the vegetation and visual trees that the neighbor looks at straight out of their window. I'm not sure if that's part of the conditions of approval, or we just make sure that's included if a motion is made? Commissioner Balch: Well, if I may, I had one other quick note which was that I did not see in the conditions any requirement for recycled water to be used during the construction period. I don't know if that's a standard request of staff nowadays or not, but given the size of the grading, I would suggest making that a condition as well. We had a condition on the prior item. I think it was Condition No. 19 that we could lift the language off. From my view, I don't know the box size of the trees being proposed, but I would maybe leave the upsizing to the Director of Community Development, and then add the condition regarding the use of recycled water during construction. Commissioner Balch moved to approve P16 -0006, 39 Silver Oaks Court, subject to the Conditions of Approval as shown in Exhibit A of the Staff Report, with the addition of a condition that recycled water be used during the construction process as coordinated by the Director of Community Development, a modification of Condition No. 7 to say that the three trees located in front of the retaining wall be upsized at the direction and determination of the Director of Community Development, and to strike Condition No. 5 with reduction to a 30 -foot area and go with `as proposed.' Commissioner Allen seconded the motion. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: Commissioners Allen, Balch, O'Connor, Nagler, and Ritter NOES: None PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 13, 2016 Page 21 of 33
