commissioner Michelotti referred to Condition 2e stating that stucco siding sha11 not be used. She fe1t the genera1 understanding was that some stucco siding was permissible if used with another material. Mr. Swift said staff is still recommending that stucco not be used at a11. Chairman Mahern discussed whether mining or landfill issues had been adequately addressed. Mr. Swift indicated that staff feels those matters have been proper1y mitigated at this point. In addition, the Fish and Game Department have met with staff on this matter and a letter from them is expected in the near future. THB PUBLIC BEARING WAS OPBNBD. Don Wallace, 4134 Walnut Drive, Pleasanton, represented the application. with him were Jeff Holmwood, Bob LaPerle, Frank Berlogar, and Peter MacDonald to further explain any questions. Mr. Wallace read a letter which he had sent in response to Nancy Black who had expressed concerns about the Moller Ranch project. He pointed out that with respect to her suggestion that studies are being done after the fact, he stated that they had spent much money doing studies before the planning and environmental concerns in the design phase. A geologic analysis, a traffic study, a noise analysis, a biotic survey, a visual analysis, a contamination study, and a Heritage tree survey were done. In addition, he said they paid the City $5,000 to do a study of their geologic study. He felt that a Negative Declaration was sufficient in this instance and that an additional EIR was not necessary. Peter MacDonald, 400 Main, Pleasanton, attorney for the project, also represented the application. He thought it was not necessary to completely review the project again, and briefly addressed several of the conditions. He felt that language on Condition 2d had been clarified, but Condition 2e regarding no use of stucco needed further clarification. He said he was surprised at the condition stating that the road should be 36 ft. as he thought residential streets are typically 29 ft. He said he would discuss this matter with Mr. Jost; in addition, this issue would again be addressed at the tentative map stage. Mr. MacDonald said they were pleased with the meeting with the Fish and Game Department; however, some of the suggested mitigations have site design impacts and he wished to point these out to the Commission. He went to the rendering and pointed out the configuration of lots 2A through 6A and lot 12. with respect to lot 12 he asked that it either be triangulated and kept at 30,000 sq. ft., or have that portion drop back toward the open space and have it at 28,000 sq. ft. in order to avoid the creek area habitat. Mr. MacDonald further addressed possible mitigations to the swale area in the form of culverts. MINUTES PLIUIJfIHG COMMISSION FEBRUARY 27, 1991 Page 5
