Glenn Hulett, 2201 Martin A venue, supports the recommendations of the staff report. Development of their properties will be toward the back of their properties and will affect the Walnut Glen neighborhood; it will not affect Trenery Drive or Martin Avenue. The lots will be over one acre on Martin A venue and will blend into the New Cities development because they are seeking the same PUD. Further, since there are already smaller (half-acre) lots on Trenery, it doesn't seem fair to say that in the future the lots must be one-acre in size. Kurt Heaton, 1730 Beachwood Way, has purchased a lot on Trenery Drive. He supports the larger lots on Trenery Drive, at least three-quarters of an acre. He requested to maintain the wider frontages on Trenery Drive. Al Wiemken, P.O. Box 969, Pleasanton, stated that Trenery is 20 feet gutter to gutter in width which is an acceptable width. There cannot be parking along this street. He also agreed that no new streets should connect to Trenery. He supported the McMillion one-half acre split. He wants to stay with the recommendation for one-half acre lots. He noted that he was the neighbor requesting everyone to stub-in connections because he didn't want the street torn up again. He further spoke to the historical dealings with neighbors in this area. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Commissioner Wright stated that all parties are for the one-half acre parcel sizes. Commissioner Lutz requested that the Commission conform their discussion to LDR with a maximum of two units per acre. Commissioner Cooper feels the Commission is again supporting the maximum density level. He supports a three-quarter acre minimum lot size. The preexisting lots are just that, preexisting. It works out to 1.33 units per acre. Commissioner Wright stated the density is looked at as an overall for the whole City. These applications will come in piecemeal and will be looked at individually. Commissioner Cooper does not see the amenities being brought in this development to justify going to the maximum of the LDR density range. He does not feel it is consistent with the General Plan to go to the maximum density and feels the Commission should strive for the mid-range of the density because ultimately someone will be penalized because too much density was previously approved. He cannot support staff recommendation, but would support the three-quarter acre lot size. Commissioner Wright noted that the property owners will be paying their in-lieu fees. Chair Barker agrees with the comments of Commissioner Cooper and feels the Commission should stick to the mid-range density figures. She will agree to the three-quarter acre lot size. Commissioner Lutz will support the PUD-LDR and feels it consistent with the General Plan. Commissioner Dove feels that the end result will be probably be three-quarter acre lots, but the one- half acre recommendation gives some added flexibility.
