Ms. Hagen confirmed that screening trees could be planted as opposed to shrubs, and the <br />Planning Commission could condition this with staff to work with the applicant as part of the <br />building permit submittal. <br />Chair Allen said she was not present at the workshop but read the minutes and said some of <br />the Planning Commissioners asked that staff explore the placement of windows as a way to <br />improve privacy. She asked what had been found, if this was explored. <br />Ms. Hagen confirmed that adjustment to the window placement was not found to be necessary <br />based upon trees and existing and new vegetation, in addition to the 30 -foot setback. <br />Commissioner O'Connor said he also was not present at the workshop, but it appears that <br />most of the items were mitigated from comments. <br />Ms. Hagen confirmed and believes the applicant has addressed concerns raised at the <br />workshop. <br />Chair Allen referenced the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) Design Guidelines and the <br />discussion that occurred during the workshop in regard to the homes being constructed in this <br />area as front -facing. She inquired about the pros and cons mentioned as it relates to homes <br />being front facing to Stanley Boulevard. <br />Ms. Hagen said the DSP encourages homes to face Stanley Boulevard or the main street, but <br />it is not a requirement. During review, staff decided that based upon the architectural detailing <br />and wrap-around porch, as designed, the project provided enhanced architectural details <br />facing Stanley Boulevard, although the front door faces the interior of the private driveway. <br />Based upon the lower elevation of the home and the view seen, having the front face towards <br />Stanley Boulevard would not drastically enhance the project. Therefore, staff felt it was <br />acceptable for the front door to face the interior drive. <br />Commissioner Pace noted that all homes on Rachael Place face to the interior as opposed to <br />the street, so he thought this was uniform. <br />Commissioner Brown said much of the discussion at the workshop was that if the fence was <br />against the street and stood five feet lower, someone would only see the top four or five feet, <br />which might not be visually appealing versus having awrap-around porch with a side entrance. <br />He inquired about the maturity of the vegetation on the east side, to address the adjacent <br />neighbor's concerns, and asked how long it would take before the vegetation would provide <br />screening as a privacy measure. <br />Ms. Hagen responded that typically a smaller initial gallon or box size trees will grow quicker <br />due to the space in which they are planted. Of the existing vegetation, she said it will take <br />about three years before it screens the line of sight. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED <br />Applicant Saravana Chilla spoke in regard to the project and said he is trying to construct the <br />homes in a way that appeases everyone. <br />Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 16 August 28, 2019 <br />
