Commissioner O'Connor reiterated the need to see delineation of the wetland and riparian habitat areas on the proposed map and what to avoid by government decree. He was not opposed to gated communities but he was in this location because of its hillside location given the risk of fire and residents trying to escape. Commissioner Brown said he was also not in favor of the gate and presumes that even without a gate the EVA is needed for a one-way entrance and exit. Chair Allen asked to see a visual from 1-580 to ensure there is no visual impediment. Regarding trees, she was concerned about the number of Heritage Oaks being removed, especially those being seen from public view on Dublin Canyon Road near the Shriner family's property. She asked for a re-evaluation to be completed to determine if there are opportunities to minimize their removal. She agreed now is the time to review a traffic signal and determine a funding arrangement and she could go either way for a gated community, noting the valid fire concern unless there are gates that do not pose an issue. Lastly, she would like to know how the project supports the inclusionary zoning requirements. Chair Allen and the Commissioners commended Ms. Amos for pulling together an expansive agenda report and for working with Ponderosa Homes and EBRPD. 7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS None 8.

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.
