Commissioner Michelotti told the applicant that the split pad situation would again be discussed at the tentative map stage. Mr. Iserson further clarified that staff is attempting to set up some guidelines whereby the use of split pads are encouraged. Condition 5 does not say split pads must be used; staff feels that split pads would reduce the issue of excessive grading. Commissioner Hovingh asked which street would abut Lot 1. Mr. Schaeffer said Perry Court would be adjacent to Lot 1. Mr. Schaeffer read his revised Condition 6. In regard to Condition 6, Mr. Iserson said the only problem staff has with the applicant's revised wording is the fact that they would be conditioning a developer of another project through this project. He felt this applicant should be conditioned to be responsible for whatever he has worked out with the developer of Tract 6160. He did not think they should condition this project to have another developer do the improvements. Mr. Schaeffer addressed the tree report and noted that the arborist indicated that most of the trees are "voluntary" trees. He felt that it was not necessary to discuss every tree on the site. He would hope to save as many trees as possible, but said some are simply not worth savmg. Commissioner Horan asked if the trees to be saved are labeled in the tree report. Mr. Iserson indicated they are labeled on the development plan. Mr. Schaeffer wished to add the following exceptions to the Standard Conditions of Approval: 42, 44, 45, and 49. Mr. Higdon said staff would have a problem with this and they need to remain until they see the final plan. Chairman Mahern asked the applicant why he wants a 20 ft. setback rather than the standard setback of 23 ft. Mr. Schaeffer said because of the lay of the land by taking three feet off the front gave them three extra feet in the back yard. Commissioner McGuirk asked the applicant what kind of homes would be on Lots 4 and 2a. Mr. Schaeffer did not know at the present time, but thought the style of houses such as those on the Bridgman/Hunton development would be ideal for those lots. The two-story part would probably go to the north. Commissioner McGuirk referred to page 5 of the staff report and expressed concern that the side yards setback might be inadequate. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. COMMISSIONS' COMMENTS: Minutes Planning Commission September 11, 1991 Page 5 I. .
