Commissioner Michelotti expressed concern about changing the 23 ft. setback to 20 ft. and asked if staff has a similar concern. She felt they are telling everybody else they must have a 23 ft. setback, and then allow 20 ft. on this project. Mr. Iserson indicated staff would prefer a 20 ft. setback if there is a split pad. Commissioner Horan expressed concern about this project being an in-fill project. He was concerned about the mass of house, including the garage. He felt the .35 F.A.R. should be the maximum allowed and that the whole project should be as compatible as possible with the existing neighborh?od. Commissioner Hovingh stated he would favor .32 F.A.R. and also wished to change F. on Building Design to read excludinl! I!aral!e. He would also eliminate the use of fire retardant shakes as he felt the fire retardant aspects wear off in a number of years. Commissioner McGuirk said he sees this project as a transition in-fill project and one side of it is going to be built according to two-year old architectural standards by Pan-Cal whereas the south side would be compared to 20-year old standards. He had a problem with the spacing of the side yard between the houses. He did not think there was enough space to have a house of 24 ft. height next to a single-story element of a 20-year old house. Discussion ensued as to whether the issue of concern by Commissioner McGuirk could be addressed at the tentative map stage. Mr. Iserson stated that if modifications were to take ~ place it would be more appropriate at the PUD stage. Commissioner Hovingh stated he is uncomfortable with the grading plan. Commissioner McGuirk said he is uncomfortable with the whole picture and would like to see what the sideyard setback would actually be. Mr. Iserson noted that the sideyard setbacks on Lots 2a and 4 could be increased. A motion was made by Commissioner Hovingh, seconded by Commissioner Horan recommending approval of the proposed Negative Declaration prepared for Case PUD-91-08 inasmuch as approval would create an insignificant adverse effect on the environment, with a finding of De Minimis impact for purposes of the new Department of Fish and Game fee structure.
