. . . Resolution No. PC 97.82 was entered and adopted as motioned. Mr. Iserson advised those present that this decision could be appealed to the City Council. d. PUD-96-12/UP-97-72. Mike Dominisse Application for PUD development plan approval to allow the construction of a 3,540-square foot single-family home with a 1,080-square foot three-car garage and for conditional use permit approval for interim grading to install a clay cap over the existing landfill. for property located at 2500 Vineyard Avenue. Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - RDR (Rural Density Residential) District. Mr. Iserson presented the staff report, describing the location of the site, the proposed house design, infrastructure, and landscaping. He noted that the property is under the jurisdiction of the Interim Development Standards for the Vineyard Corridor, and, therefore, a PUD development plan approval is required for new homes on existing lots of record. Mr. lserson explained that the conditional use permit is needed in order to install a clay cap over a portion of the site which contains buried landfill, in that the Alameda County Environmental Health Services and the California Environmental Protection Agency have measured levels of methane leaking through the soil of the site and this action is needed to control the gas release. The use permit will allow the grading and fill to be done prior to significant rains, rather than waiting for the PUD approval process to be completed. Mr. lserson stated that the use permit findings for the interim grading can be met and the PUD findings can be made. He advised that staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve the conditional use permit and recommend approval of the PUD development plan to the City Council. In response to a question from Commissioner Wright, Mr. Jost stated that the intent of the grading is to remove the existing soil and replace it with the clay cap. Vice Chair Kumaran asked if the suppressing of the soil with the clay cap will cause a problem with the methane gas in ground water. Mr. Jost advised that Pleasanton Garbage Service works with the EP A in continuing to monitor the site, and that the gas is burned off a couple of times a year. In response to a question from Commissioner Dove, Mr. Jost advised that the site will have access to City water once the "S" curve work is completed. Mr. Iserson confirmed that the plan will limit the parcel to one house. PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Mr. Dominisse, 11389 BetIen Drive, Dublin, represented the application. He noted that he has reviewed the staff report and concurs with it. Commissioner Wright asked if a haul route had been determined. Mr. Dominisse stated that the soil will be relocated on the site.
