Commissioner Pace said he was in agreement to the massing; however, he did not agree to the color and asked to conform to the historic nature of what is done in the community. Commissioner Brown agreed with Commissioner Pace's comments about colors and materials, and said he was in favor of the wrap-around porch for the home facing Stanley Boulevard. Commissioner Ritter expressed his desire to have a color palette for the City of Pleasanton and thought the Ponderosa Homes development and Irby Ranch development have great color choices.

He referenced the discussion surrounding lack of privacy presented during public comment and said he would like to see the applicant look at window placement and consider larger trees to address neighbors' privacy concerns, but could not see anything non-compliant and was open to modifications after looking at the story poles.
