For a more detailed account of the discussion at the meeting, please see the attached excerpt of the draft Planning Commission minutes for December 8, 2004. DISCUSSION The attached Planning Commission staff report dated December 8, 2004 provides a detailed description and discussion of the proposed application including: General Plan and Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan land use conformity, site development standards, soils, building design, green building measures, grading and drainage, utilities, landscaping, visual analysis and fencing. In staff's opinion, the proposed house design and lotting configuration adheres to the policies and requirements of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan and is attractively designed. The home would share its access with and be part of the maintenance agreement of the adjacent Vineyard View subdivision currently under construction by Delco Builders. The proposed residence would include green building measures also included in the construction of the homes in Delco Builders' adjacent Vineyard View and Vineyard Hill subdivisions. The applicant has agreed to the conditions requested by the Planning Commission. These changes would be reflected in the building permit and improvement plans submitted prior to the issuance of permits for the construction of the residence. The City's Traffic Engineer has reviewed the proposed sight distance at Leona Place and Vineyard Avenue and found that this entrance could be improved by the addition of a deceleration lane along a portion of the proposed project frontage for westbound traffic entering Leona Place. An additional 5 ft. of roadway widening would be required along a portion of the site frontage, requiring the proposed house and berm to be shifted to the north an additional 5 ft. The applicant has agreed to this change and a condition of approval has been added to address this change.
