.~ Iim Summers, 1390 Willow Pass Road, Concord, spoke on behalf 0 Ahmanson Developments, Inc, He stated that he concurs with staff conditions. Commissioner Wright asked Mr. Summers the time frame for begin ing work again on the project. Mr. Summers felt that with the current economy and the in rest in building on smaller lots,that it could be quite soon that construction will begin. The conditions state that off-site improvements are completed before occupancy of the un ts. Commissioner Michelotti questioned Mr. Summers as to whether the original PUD required the larger lots or the smaller lots to be built first. Basically, the pro ect would move ahead with improvements on both Bernal Avenue and Foothill Road in con unction with the infrastructure on the "B" part of the project. Sandy Mitchell, 12 Deer Oak Drive, stated that she lives across fro the proposed project and is very frustrated that development has stopped since the trees h ve been removed and grading has been done. She felt that the Commission itself was res nsible for the situation. She knew they thought it was a good part of the plan to remove the ees, but the neighbors continue to feel that it is ugly without the trees. She expressed con m that landscaping was not done before construction, and felt that the developer should have installed it even though it may have been somewhat damaged in construction. She is conce ed that with the trees being gone that they will have to look at all the equipment during th off-season. .~ Mr. Summers returned to the podium. In response to Chairman Ho ingh's question, Mr. Summers said they did have equipment on the site, but they have re oved all but one piece which can also be removed. Commissioner Mahem stated she had talked privately with Mr. Sum ers. She discussed with Mr. Summers the possibility of putting in some landscaping to 'de the construction and soften the effect of the tree removal, especially as it appears that P "A" will be postponed for some time yet. Mr. Summers said that part of the improvements that they will move ahead with is the landscaping on Foothill Road and Bernal Avenue. e understood Ms. Mitchell's concerns, but noted that with having to put the utility line underground in the same area as the landscaping, that this was a difficult situation. The landscaping would have to be removed when those lines were installed. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSRTl.
