Application continued to September 11, 1991. PUD-81-30-52D. Simature Prouerties Application for design review approval for the construction of 151 townhouse and condominium dwelling units on an approximately 12.46 acre site located at 5700 west Las Positas Boulevard (Lot 24A of the Hacienda Business Park). Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - HDR (High Density Residential) District. Mr. Iserson presented the staff report and recommended approval of Case 52D subject to the conditions of the staff report. PUD-81-30- Commissioner Hovingh referred to landscaping and screening after getting to the stub streets, and asked for clarification. Commissioner Michelotti advised that the Design Review Board had recommended either a combination of hedges or a low solid wall. Mr. Iserson also recollected that height of wall or hedge would be 2 1/2 to 3 ft. in order to screen on-coming headlights. Commissioner McGuirk asked Mr. Iserson if there will be lighting on the walkways and if the tot lot will be fenced in. Mr. Iserson responded that the intent is to have ground level lighting. He added that generally a tot lot is fenced in, but he was not sure if this one is. However, it could be conditioned in that manner. ~ Commissioner McGuirk asked about access to the rear yards. Mr. Iserson explained that the rear yards are basically open yards with a concrete patio. Commissioner Horan asked if the brick paving accent is included in this project as it was in the Summerhill plan. Mr. Iserson responded that this plan no longer contains that condition. Commissioner Wright discussed Condition 12 with Mr. Iserson and wondered why Standard Conditions of Approval nos. 7, 12-14, 29, and 33 were no longer included. Mr. Iserson replied that Condition 12 is no longer an applicable program, as PG&E no longer runs the program indicated. Developers will still make use of available energy savers; however, the programs are just no longer in operation. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Mark Sweeney, 4309 Hacienda Drive, represented the application, along with five members of his team. He gave a brief overview of the project, noting that the main difference between this project and the previously approved Summerhill project was the selling price of the units. Summerhill units were projected to be in the $325,000 to $375,000 range whereas Signature units are projected at $200,000 to $250,000 per unit. He thanked staff for time spent with them and felt the report was complete. Minutes Planning ea..ission August 28, 1991 Page 15 I. .
