Mr. Iserson briefly reviewed the project description, including the average lot size to be 20,000 square feet, the requirement to construct a 1 million gallon water tank, and requiring Class A fire retardant roofing material. Staff believes the proposed vesting tentative map Tract 6590 is in general conformance with the development plan, its conditions of approval, and the EIR mitigation measures approved by the City in June 1990. In addition, the proposed map conforms to the previously approved tentative map, Tract 6400, which included these lots and this area of the project and conforms to the conditions of approval of Tract 6400. Therefore, staff recommends the Commission approve Case Vesting Tentative Map Tract 6590. Commissioner Hovingh clarified with Mr. Beougher that to deny the tentative map, the Commission must find that it is not consistent with the PUD. PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED Dick Plagman, 8000 Clayton Road, Clayton, CA, represented Presley Co. of Northern California. He indicated the company has read and agrees with the staff report and conditions of approval. He asked the Commission's approval of the Tentative Map. Commissioner Hovingh inquired when the speaker thought the actual construction would start. Mr. Plagman stated there are many factors involved before construction could begin. He did note that the Presley Company had not sold the property to another developer. Don Lewis, 11301, Dublin Canyon Road, believes that before the construction is started, the improvements must be completed to Dublin Canyon Road and Foothill Road. He also inquired how much time is given to the builders to begin construction once the Tentative Map is approved. Mr. Beougher advised a developer is given one year, and extensions are granted if a good faith effort is being made to begin construction. Mr. Iserson stated that the improvements to Dublin Canyon would have to be completed before occupancy. He further noted that there are several issues yet to be finalized by the City Council regarding this development. Commissioner Barker requested the road improvements be done before construction begins, believing that if the improvements are not required until occupancy, they may not get done. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Commissioner Wright addressed his concern regarding the circulation pattern of Laurel Creek Drive and Benzon Drive. Mr. Plagman advised that this concern has been addressed in the conditions for Tract 6400. Planning Commission Minutes Page 11 October 11, 1995
