staff is looking for those kinds of clarifications. The scope of grading has been pulled outside of all of the more clearly 25 percent hillside slope conditions and the EVA poses a different question, which is the road structure conversation because it requires a fair amount of grading to get carved into this portion of the site. Commissioner Balch said he brought this up in the General Plan Amendment question, but given Mr. Beaudin's comments, he was personally comfortable with the grading proposed because he stands by the fact a road is not a structure, which is what he voted for with the Lund Ranch project and where he can get to in this project. Personally, he thinks the lower four lots should be verified but he did not believe that was the intent of Measures PP and QQ. Commissioner O'Connor said he was amenable to the change. Chair Allen said she was amenable with the change and requested confirmation from the EIR in terms of creek setbacks to protect the open space. Question 4: What else would the Commission want to see? Commissioner Balch referred to the Valley Oak project and said they had to install a meandering sidewalk because of the City's standard. He asked why the City was not requiring a sidewalk on at least the main entry to the Shriner family's property and the small part of the Lester family's property on the western side of the church site. Ms. Amos said sidewalks were not being required by the City at this time. The sidewalk installed for the Valley Oak project was decomposed granite. Installing a sidewalk would require more development into the sloping area from the Shriner family's property and in expanding and widening Dublin Canyon Road. Commissioner Balch commented that if the City was holding people to a City standard for Complete Streets which was "a sidewalk to nowhere for six houses" he asked why this is not the case here. Mr. Tassano explained they want to be able to provide access to the edge of their property and their vision is they will use the EVA to walk down. If they can provide access from the western-most lot down to their property on the eastern side, even though they cannot get anywhere from that point on, this is the goal and the approach they will take moving forward. Commissioner Balch asked why a western expansion was not mentioned. Mr. Beaudin stated staff will take this comment. Commissioner Balch said he was a big supporter of the trees and thinks it is a good mix. He was supportive of the gated element. Regarding amenities for the Dublin Canyon improvements, in light of the public comment related to that project, he would look at a traffic signal and believes they should look at all residents in totality and what now could be added. Commissioner Ritter said he was in favor of the trees proposed but possibly planting more mature trees to address views from neighbors from the top.

Ms. Amos said those other proposals did not include the Shriner family's property and the access required constructing a bridge over the creek. Planning Commission Minutes Page 16 of 22 March 27, 2019
