Ms. Kline advised that the former name of that subdivision was Victoria Meadows, now known as Pleasanton Estates, and that it was mistyped in the staff report. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Blank whether a 12-foot diameter 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, and only fencing was allowed on the sloped area of this site. 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 Director review the colors and ensure that they blend in well with East Bay Regional District guidelines. She noted that the computer renderings made it difficult to determine the true colors and requested that the Planning Director review the colors with the developer one more time before the colors for the house were chosen. She requested that the photomontage to be presented for the City Council's review of the application include the correct trim colors. Commissioner Blank would like to see denser front coverage of the lot with respect to the trees. He would also like to see mitigation trees planted if any trees were removed or destroyed during construction. Commissioner Fox noted that she could support Commissioner Blank's suggestion. Commissioner Roberts moved to find that the proposed PUD development plan is consistent with the General Plan, the purposes of the PUD ordinance, and the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan; to make the PUD findings as listed in the staff report; and to recommend approval of PUD-40 as conditioned in the staff report, with the following modifications that: 1. the house trim colors be shown correctly on the photomontage to be provided for the PUD review by the City Council; 2. Condition No. 22 be amended to include the tree mitigation requirement for any existing trees that may have been damaged; 3. the Planning Director ensure that the house colors blend in with the natural development to the greatest extent feasible; and 4. larger and/or denser landscaping shall be added along the berm area at the front of the house. Commissioner Fox seconded the motion. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: Commissioners Blank, Fox, and Roberts. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. RECUSED: None. ABSENT: Commissioners Arkin and Maas.
