Commissioner Brown asked that the building envelope be shown, taking into account creek <br /> setbacks from the flood plain. <br /> Commissioner Allen asked that streetscape visuals of this be provided which would assist her <br /> in understanding FAR. <br /> Mr. Beaudin agreed that staff can work with the applicant to develop some massing diagrams <br /> that generally show two story structures and where the building can sit on the property relative <br /> to the street and streetscape, and Commissioner Allen asked that this include driveway <br /> configuration and where this occurs. <br /> Commissioner Brown clarified that Commission Allen wanted the trail and the logical driveway <br /> shown and options for lots 1 and 2 or just one lot in order to understand where the building <br /> envelope needs to be. <br /> Chair Nagler confirmed that staff will discuss with the applicant the issues of whether there are <br /> one or two lots, how they are configured and how the hydrology report supports a different <br /> setback. <br /> Mr. Beaudin asked if there was interest in straw polling 4 versus 5 lots tonight. He said the <br /> Commission will likely get different opinions and if not, they can continue to work with the <br /> applicant on what this will look like. It helps narrows the field in terms of the site planning <br /> work, streetscape perspective, driveway access as well as the amenity discussion. <br /> Chair Nagler said he would rather not do this and asked staff to work with the applicant to <br /> determine where there is flexibility. <br /> Commissioner Brown said he would like to see the proposal include a distinct trail from a <br /> distinct driveway that can run in parallel, be separated or a different configuration. <br /> Commissioner Allen suggested two alternative proposals be submitted. She likened this to the <br /> Carpenter's Union project and whether or not a landscape solution would work. It turned out it <br /> could work and it was a win/win, so they want a design that has an agricultural character on <br /> Sycamore and asked if other Commissioners believe this is a priority. <br /> Commissioners agreed they would like the homes to look similar to the other homes; to have a <br /> rural feel and not like the homes on the west side. <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, July 11, 2018 Page 11 of 11 <br />m. <br /> Commissioner Allen said she would like to see a detailed visual where the exact building pads <br /> would be along Sycamore Road. In the design she would like to see inclusion of garages and <br /> ADUs which will provide her with enough information in determining one or two lots. <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, July 11, 2018 Page 10 of 11 <br />s a result. <br /> In terms of what would be amenities, because a design for connection of a trail would be ready <br /> in the near term, she recommended funding be provided by the applicant to the City to be used <br /> for the highest priority projects in the bike and pedestrian master plan that deal with <br /> connectivity, especially in south Pleasanton. One in particular is the circuit bicyclists take from <br /> Sycamore to Foothill and then around Foothill. One of the key provisions is for a wider bike <br /> lane on Foothill so there is a logical connection to improving bicycling along the corridor here <br /> that is realistic in the near term and money can do that. She asked that staff look at other <br /> options along those lines, and how much of a contribution was realistic based on splitting the <br /> difference of the profit a land owner would receive by having the additional two parcels. <br /> Excerpt Planning Commission Minutes, July 11, 2018 Page 9 of 11 <br />, 2018 Page 3 of 11 <br />Way, existing lots range from 15,033 sq. ft.
