~ DeSilva Group builds the infrastructure of the project, and Greystone completes the homes. This application would change the 15 townhome units to single-family detached homes, incorporating the six moderate-income units. Mr. Summers believe!! the change from attached townhomes to detached family homes offers the moderate-iqcome buyer a traditional home at an affordable price. They plan to start construction in SprilJ1g 1994 with homes being started by Mayor June 1994. Mr. Summers indicated he had met with Mr. Green regarding his cQncerns of noise and lights impacting his home, and he feels a solution can be achieved. . Mr. Summers also thanked the staff for their constructive input in tI1e development of the plans. In response to Commissioner Wright, the applicant advised that the fence lines between the properties end at the front edge of the houses, therefore the front la~ns are not restricted by fences. Tom Quaglia, 577 Salimar Avenue, Campbell, of Greystone Homes'also represented the application. ~ Commissioner Mahern stated she is unhappy with the size of Plan I' (900 sq. ft.) and asked if some modification could be made to make the house more liveable. Mr. Summers indicated that the room sizes are standard size, but the nook and dining room lcould be incorporated into a great room. He advised that another way to achieve more fotage would be to allow the rear of the house to bump out two feet into the established setbapk. This additional footage would allow for a more efficient layout of the interior. Th~ street-side elevation would not change. Moreover, these changes would not increase th~ price of the house. , In response to Commissioner Mahern, Mr. Summers stated the pric, of Plan 1 would be around $176,000 to $180,000, and the larger models would be appr?ximately $255,000 and $270,000, respectively. He also stated that Plan 1 is an average siztd single story height, approximately 18 feet. Commissioner Finch advised the Commission he had also met with the applicant. He commented he would not like to see any new home in Pleasanton b~ilt with less than 1-1/2 baths and would like to see the floor plan changed to incorporate anbther bathroom. He also supports the two foot expansion on the rear of the house. Commissioner Mahern advised the Commission that she had a telephone conversation with Mr. Quaglia. . Steve Friends, 4377 Krause St., is the President of the Homeowner$ Association of the development north of the proposed project. He represented that development at the Planning Commission meeting. He is concerned about the amount of availab~e parking once the project is completed, and he wondered where the "adequate nearby parking" would be located. Mr. Friends asked the developer to work with Mr. Green ~o come to a viable solution for his concerns. Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 October 13, 1993 -
