Mr. Alborzi stated he felt that four spaces for each resident and 12 visitor parking spaces should be adequate. Commissioner Hovingh asked if the applicant is willing to ban the parking of RV's and boats at the site. Mr. Alborzi had no problem with that. In response to Commissioner Hovingh's questions, Mr. Alborzi said the anticipated price by expected completion is in the $250,000- $270,000 range. Commissioner Hovingh felt that might eliminate the possibility of including any affordable units for low income. THE PUBLrc HEARrNG WAS CLOSED. Chairman Mahern noted she is uncomfortable with units 1, 27 and 19 facing Santa Rita Road as they appear to be only 10-16 ft. from the road. She said she still has a problem with parking and cited her own townhome where the parking is over the required amount, but they still experience many parking problems. She said this project does not even have in-street parking as they do. Neither can their homeowners association control the matter. She favored eliminating units 1, 27, and 19 to make room for more parking and the tot lot. She liked the architecture and design, but still felt it was too dense. ~ commissioner Michelotti said she has the same concerns as Chairman Mahern. She agreed with staff's recommendation about a soundwall. She favored deletion of at least one lot (unit 27) and recommended that staff and applicant work together to move the lots around. She also was concerned about enough parking; she would propose that some type of vines be planted in the open spaces. commissioner Hovingh said he was not that dismayed about the project as it fills a certain need in the community. He would recommend a condition that no RV or boat parking or storage be allowed. He would also recommend that 4 units be noted as affordable in exchange for allowing the developer to keep one of the units recommended for elimination. He would not allow building permits be issued until the current water shortage problems are alleviated. He does not think it is fair for the residents of the community to suffer for the sake of new development. He wanted the deed of trust to reflect that the noise levels exceed the City standards. Commissioner Wright said he thought the applicant had agreed to the elimination of Condition 27 and is now unsure that the applicant has indeed agreed to that. He said he would condition approval to the deletion of lot 27 and also of lot 5, which would give more room for the tot lot. He could agree to green space near the tot lot rather than sand, but would prefer it near the pool. MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 13, 1991 PAGE 5 " .
