Resolution No. PC-2005-14 was entered and adopted as motioned. b. PUD 43, Paul Berchem/Berchem Trust Application for: (1) PUD Development Plan approval to demolish the existing 1,628-square-foot home and construct a new 4,035-square-foot, single-story residence at 2538 Vineyard Avenue, in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Area; and (2) the creation of site development standards for the subject site. Zoning for the property is PUD-LDR (Planned Unit Development - Low Density Residential) District. Ms. Decker summarized the staff report and described the proposed project. She noted that numerous disclosures were tied to this property that must be recorded in the City Attorney's office, specifically that the property is an access point to the East Bay Regional Park District property. Commissioner Arkin would like to see that disclosure recorded on the deed. Ms. Nerland confirmed that there would be a disclosure on the deed, in addition to a separate document to be recorded with the title. Ms. Decker displayed pictures of the eucalyptus screening on the site as well as the site plan regarding the quarry and mining operations. In response to an inquiry by Conunissioner Blank, Ms. Decker replied that there was a requirement that the eucalyptus grove remain intact and that the plan meet the planting and spacing requirements. The Specific Plan requires that the fencing be open fencing rather than an enclosed wall at the entry. She displayed a photo simulation of what the building would look like and showed stonework enhancements on the buildings. Commissioner Arkin believed the design would benefit from extending the stonework from the chimney down to the ground. Ms. Decker noted that staff favored a slate roof over the typical concrete tile roof to match the style of the building better; the applicant accepted that condition. She proposed several amendments to the conditions of approval: 1. Condition 16.a., a requirement to provide an easement to maintain underground wells and holding tanks for non-potable irrigation use, should be omitted because of its erroneous addition. 2. Condition 16.b., related to dedication of the trail to the City, and Condition 34, addressing various deed restrictions and covenants, will be combined into one condition that would state that all recorded documents mentioned in both conditions will be provided in a form acceptable to the City Attorney's Office prior to issuance of building permits. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES April 7, 2005 Page 11 of 16
