Mr. Wright advised the speaker no decision had been made regarding the right-of-way of the intersection. At the January 11th meeting, other neighbors concurred they would like to have this density and type of project versus having a multi-unit project. There are three floor plans, two elevations each. Regarding the trees, Chairman Wright advised that the trees slated to be removed are in poor condition. The tree across from the speaker's property will be saved because the house plan had been relocated. The streets meet the City standards for residential neighborhoods so they are designed to take additional parking. The RV parking cannot be conditioned because it is a public street. In response to Commissioner Hovingh, Mr. Swift noted that Ruby Hill addressed the parking of RVs, however, they are private streets. Mr. Beougher advised that an homeowners association cannot make conditions about parking RVs on the street because the state preempts the City from regulating certain parking aspects. Erin Iversen, 4239 Pleasanton Avenue, advised that the tree on her comer is slated to be removed and she does not want the tree to be removed. Mr. Bates returned to address some of the public concerns. They typically do not work on Saturdays; they use the Saturday hours to simply do catch-up work and to keep them on their timeline. Having the flexibility of working on Saturdays may get them out of the neighborhood sooner. Regarding the type of fencing for the comer yards, they are typically the same type of material as the house siding. In this case, they would be stucco fences, with the internal yard fences being wood. They also would like to see some limits on the parking of RVs and boats. Regarding keeping the tree on the comer, they would like to keep the tree. However, it may be damaged or it may restrict the visibility along the street. If the tree must be removed, the developers will plant box-sized trees along Ms. Iversen's property. Commissioner Barker requested that the horticulturist notify the neighbors of the field inspection so they may participate. Mr. Elsnab requested that the proposed 15 gallon street trees be changed to 24-inch box trees installed to provide a more mature look to the street. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED Commissioner McGuirk inquired of staff if a geotechnical consultant can be required as needed (Condition 32). Mr. Higdon stated this site requires a lot of deep excavation and during that operation they need a geotechnical consultant on site. Chairman Wright clarified that Condition 20 restrictions could result in the project being held up, or, if the building permits were issued, the houses could not be occupied until the EVA approvals were granted and the EVA was constructed.
