<br />DRAFT <br /> <br />(PUD-54. Threehand. LP/Reznick ProTJertv. and PDR-520/PCUP-162. Otv of Pleasanton. were <br />considered together.) <br /> <br />PUD-54. Threehand. LP/Reznick Property <br />Application for Planned Unit Development (PUD) development plan approval to subdivide <br />an approximately 20-acre site into eight-lots, consisting of seven single-family lots for <br />custom homes and one lot for a City water tank. The property is located at 5 Windy Oaks <br />Drive (formerly 1680 Vineyard Avenue) in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan <br />Area and is zoned PUD-HR/OS (Planned Unit Development - Hillside Residential/Open <br />Space) District. <br /> <br />PDR-520/PCUP-162. City of Pleasant on <br />Application for: (1) design review approval for a City water tank to be constructed on a <br />portion of a 20-acre site located at 5 Windy Oaks Drive (formerly 1680 Vineyard Avenue) <br />in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan Area; and (2) conditional use permit <br />approval to allow the temporary stockpiling of approximately 7,000 cubic yards of excess <br />soil from the City water tank project on the upper portions of 5 Windy Oaks Drive. <br />Zoning for the property is PUD-HR/OS (Planned Unit Development - Hillside <br />Residential/Open Space) District. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson advised that since the presentation on the City water tank had already been done at <br />the last Commission meeting, his presentation would focus on the Reznick PUD. He then <br />proceeded to describe the proposal, a PUD development plan for seven single-family custom lots <br />and one parcel for a City water tank to be located within the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific <br />Plan Area, with the Brozosky parcel to the west, the Roberts property to the east, and the <br />proposed Neal Elementary School to the north. He indicated that the land use for the site is <br />Hillside Residential and predominantly Open Space with one existing home that would be <br />demolished. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson noted that the applicant and the City worked closely together and came up with an <br />agreement in which the applicant would dedicate the land for the water tank and the existing <br />access road leading to it, and the City would build the tank and improve the road. He indicated <br />that the road would be located slightly to the east of where it is shown on the Specific Plan. He <br />explained that a major reason for this is the fact that the Specific Plan included policies <br />encouraging the use of Old Vineyard Avenue as a trail, and relocating the road would direct <br />traffic coming down from the development to go straight across Vineyard Avenue to the <br />Thiessen Road roundabout that the School District has already constructed on its property, <br />thereby eliminating vehicular travel on a section of the trail where there might be pedestrians and <br />bikers. He added that the road is also sensitively located with respect to the intermittent drainage <br />swale, and strict erosion control measures are in place to keep the drainage creek area free from <br />erosion and debris. <br /> <br />Mr. Iserson then presented slides showing the site and the location of the different lots. He also <br />described each lot, indicating the location of the pads on the lots and what grading might be <br />required of them. He indicated that there was an issue with respect to building height. He <br />explained that the Specific Plan requires houses above the 540-foot elevation to be one story and <br /> <br />DRAFT EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 24, 2006 <br /> <br />Page 1 of9 <br />
