Lots 1 and 2: I'm not sure they should havc to face the trail and Vineyard. The privacy on these two lots will bc compromised by the way the road wraps around them. Cars will be coming downhill directly at their backyards; cars coming up the hill might impact the privacy on Lot 2. Having a wcll articulated side yard lacing Vineyard might actually appear less massivc. Staff believes the design can be addressed at the time the design guidelines are considered at the time of the Tentative Map review and approval. Size: The Hatsushi hillside devclopmcnt limited houses to 8000sq. ft. Would it be better to limit square footage? In the past 8 years, thc Commission hasn't approved a house over 7000 sq ft., usually duc to the visibility of these larger structures. Staff notes the proposed FAR are shown on pg 6 of the staff report. The larger sizes ranging from 8,450 sf to 9,015 sf wiff be located on sites that are not as visible. The determination of FAR would be considered with the architectural design guidelines at the time of the Tentative Map review and approval. Accessorv structures: Page 25 seems to allow accessory structures to be 25'. Docs the City allow any accessory structures to be that high? Noted. The determination of accessory structure heights would be considered with the architectural design guidelines at the time of the Tentative Map review and approval. Planting Requirements: I hope you add Italian Cyprcss to thc list of inappropriate trees. You might also consider the extremely careful inspection, or elimination of azaleas and rhododendron since these plants are bclicvcd to havc introduced the oak virus that has dccimatcd trces in Marin. I realizc that the trcc planting requirements on p. 24 have been lifted from the Mariposa guidclincs, but thcrc arc no native trees on those lots (or not very many). Might the planting of 25 or 27 trees be overdoing it especially on the oak filled lots? Lot 7 and Lot 6, on the other hand, may need more. Noted. The determination of planting requirements would be considered with the architectural design guidelines at the time of the Tentative Map review and approval. Styles and relation to the natural environment: Although the sample homcs arc truly lovcly, and would appeal to many prospective buyers, I don't scc that any rctlect the sun'mlnding forest; nor do most of them lit in with hillside residential guidelines. The VCSP guideline for I IR architecture (p.35) states, "Housc dcsigns should be limited to traditional architectural forms adjustcd to conform to the natural char:lctcr of thc sitc. Architcctural dcsign should cmphasizc thc blending of buildings into thc natural surroundings..." On page 16 of the Oak Ridge guidelincs, it states that,"...the architcctural styles are chosen to reflect the winc rcgions of Europe. Ruby Hills was dcsigned to do just that. The tlat areas in the Vineyard Corridor too have been designed to retlect European villages, and these medium density Vineyard Corridor PUDs havc to incorporatc signilicant vineyards. The 5
