P18-0075, Alaina Stewart for Brinqhurst LLC <br /> Workshop to review and receive comments on a Preliminary Review application for an <br /> amendment to the North Sycamore Specific Plan (NSSP) to allow the subdivision of an <br /> existing approximately 3.28-acre parcel located at 990 Sycamore Road into five <br /> single-family residential lots where three lots are allowed by the NSSP. Zoning for the <br /> property is PUD-A (Planned Unit Development -Agricultural) District. <br /> Commissioners Balch and O'Connor were recused from participating in the item due to <br /> conflicts of interest and left the meeting. <br /> Associate Planner Jenny Soo gave the agenda report. <br /> Commissioner Brown questioned the size of the lots on either side of Lot 3. <br /> Planning Manager Ellen Clark stated the lot to the west is larger than the lot to the east. <br /> Commissioner Brown referred to the trail on the aerial view and asked where the trail connects <br /> from the other side. <br /> Ms. Clark stated the existing trail runs along the creek alignment and it terminates at Dale <br /> Way, with no trail connection on the other side. Ms. Soo further explained that the hope is to <br /> eventually connect the trail with development of future projects. <br /> Commissioner Brown said in terms of the proposal around the trail, he asked if part of the <br /> proposal was for Dale Way to be modified so that it is more like the trail on the left, with a <br /> decomposed granite surface. <br /> Ms. Clark said the Specific Plan calls for the trail to be an "all-weather surface of 12 feet in <br /> width" which may provide flexibility as to the material used for it. <br /> Ms. Soo then described the square footages of the lots either side of the property along <br /> Sycamore Creek way, with Lot 491 being 12,975 square feet and Lot 1011 is 15,088 square <br /> feet. <br /> To a question from Commissioner Allen regarding the nature of the easements on Dale Way, <br /> Ms. Clark confirmed it includes a 25-foot wide access easement for maintenance of the <br /> utilities, but did not know if it was also designated as an emergency access route; however, the <br /> width was sufficient for that purpose. <br /> Commissioner Allen questioned whether that access should be shared, or constructed of <br /> concrete or decomposed granite, to which Ms. Clark said there might be other constraints as to <br /> what the surfacing could be, such as required vehicle weight capacity. <br /> In response to Commissioner Allen, Ms. Soo confirmed that Dale Way is part of the subject <br /> property and therefore the responsibility of the owner to maintain. <br /> Commissioner Brown questioned who owns the northern portion of the property to the bridge; <br /> and Ms. Clark deferred to the applicant who confirmed that they are the owner. A gate exists <br /> where the home was built. <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, July 11, 2018 Page 1 of 11 <br />owing questions are where staff would find the <br /> Commission's input most helpful. Please also see Exhibit A. <br /> A. Would the Planning Commission support the requested NSSP amendments <br /> including the following: <br /> • Amending the land use designation for a one-acre portion of the site, from PUD- <br /> A to PUD-LDR, to allow the site to be developed with five lots instead of three; <br /> • Amending the NSSP text to allow one of the PUD-A lots to be less than an acre <br /> in size, so the creek can be located within one of the two PUD-A parcels; <br /> P18-0075, 990 Sycamore Road Planning Commission <br /> 15 of 16 <br /> standards. <br /> P18-0075, 990 Sycamore Road Planning Commission <br /> 14 of 16 <br /> north side of Sycamore Creek Way, existing lots range from 15,033 sq. ft.
