Mr. Beaudin commented that if there is interest in reducing the setback the study can be updated and staff can obtain that information. The creek has been modified over time given increased development in the area. It is straight which tends to increase speed and thinks the information should be provided if there were to be interest in encroaching into the creek setback. Chair Nagler reviewed the following discussion points as proposed by staff with the Commission and asked for feedback: • The request to amend the land use designation for one acre portion of the site from PUD A to PUD LDR to allow the site to be developed with five lots instead of three, whether the Commission cares about the 15,000 square foot minimum and also amendment of the Specific Plan to allow one of the PUD A lots to be less than one acre in size where the creek is on the parcel. Commissioner Ritter agreed with the original 5-lot submittal that was supported by the Planning Commission. He likes the PUD LDR designation for the five lots and said they look similar to what is nearby. He noted the house next to Lot 3 was 12,975 and Lot 5 was 15,088 so he was supportive of lots less than 15,000 feet. Regarding adjusting the back lots for the multi-use trail, in 2006 just before he joined the Trails Committee a motion was made on September 12, 2006 recommending "the development be conditioned to extend the trail easement from the end of the existing trail at Dale Way south of Sycamore Road on the west edge of the property adjacent to Sycamore Road with the intent that it be a multi-use trail." Regarding whether the lot should be realigned to have the creek contained in a single lot, he deferred to the geotechnical engineers' opinions. Commissioner Brown stated in terms of the north portion of the property he agrees with it being LDR given it is filling in a missing section of the Sycamore Heights community. Regarding the left and right lots, he thinks they are relevant. The smallest lot proposed is 14,718 square feet which is 98.12% of the 15,000-foot requirement and it would help feather the integration and he was supportive. He would rather see the fence lines line up as a straight shot than varying retaining wall configurations to try to bow out to meet the 15,000 requirement. In terms of the FAR, he agrees with staff's recommendation which the applicant has agreed to. He also agrees with staff's recommendation regarding grading. Regarding the size of the back lots, the creek is linear and straightforward to maintain, so he did not feel strongly that one lot should own that whole piece of the creek. That said changing the boundary to make both one acre does not change the buildable pad for that lot. Therefore, he suggested lots 1 and 2 be one lot as an option and the other option would be to reduce setbacks to make lot 2 more usable, and at that time they could consider moving the boundaries between lots 1 and 2 contingent upon what the updated study says. Regarding the trail, he would like the portion along the Sycamore Road side be a bit more protected and insulated from the traffic.
