DRAFT In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Blank regarding green building points, Ms. Kline confirmed that the 50 green building points were not a specific condition of approval, but because these were submitted with the materials, it now becomes a binding part of the approved exhibit. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Blank regarding Condition 29 and dust created by construction in the dry weather, Ms. Kline replied that could happen and that staff would probably amend their existing grading permit for the Vineyard View subdivision. The development portion that would be done would be the grading for the berm as well as the pad area for the house. Staff included requirements to reduce the dust, which is not typically included for single house projects. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. R.J. Wilson, construction manager, Delco Builders, representing the applicant, commended the City's field inspection staff for their continual watchfulness during construction times to ensure that there was not any dust or mud. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Roberts whether Leona Place was under construction, Mr. Wilson replied that it was not, as far as he knew. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Fox regarding the kind of tree used when screening is needed in a short amount of time, Mr. Wilson replied that although he was not a landscape expert, he understood that better growth in a tree resulted when it was planted smaller and younger. Trees that are grown in a pot for a considerable amount of time don't grow as well as the smaller trees that are planted right away. If the two are planted together, the smaller tree will catch up to the larger one in a short period of time. Chairperson Roberts advised that the larger trees were often root-bound. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Chairperson Roberts advised that there was an error in the last sentence of paragraph 3 on page 5 (Building Architecture), which reads: "Those neighborhood are Pleasanton Meadows and Vintage Hills II." She noted that Pleasanton Meadows was located considerably north of this site. Ms. Kline advised that the former name of that subdivision was Pleasanton Estates and that it was mistyped in the staff report. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Blank whether a 12-foot satellite dish may be installed on the sloped portion of the site, Ms. Kline confirmed that would not be allowed. Any dish over 10 feet in height would require an administrative design review. Commissioner Fox expressed concern about Condition 24 regarding the trees and would like to see the site remain rural in nature. She would like to see the primary screening trees be planted larger in size. She wanted to add a condition regarding the house colors that the Planning DRAFT EXCERPTS: PLANN1NG COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, December 10, 2004 Page 3 of 4
