East Bav Regional Park District City staff held two on-site meetings with the applicant and with EBRPD staff to determine what issues the Park District may continue to have and to determine if there were means in which the project could mitigate those concerns. The applicant installed story poles and provided the Park District with photo visuals and descriptions, These aids helped both staff and the Park District understand the effects of the increase in height, resulting in the conclusion by all parties that the height increase would be minimal and that the increase could be mitigated by planting additional trees. The Park District supported the modification on the subject lot, but requested a review on a case-by-case basis for any others within the same PUD that may be presented in the future, A copy of the letter from EBRPD supporting the project is attached which also conveys the con- cerns they have regarding the remaining lots. Staff considers the request to be appropriate for the following reasons: . The East Bay Regional Park District, owner/operator of the Shadow Regional Recrea- tion Area, concurs with the height request for this lot, its decision based on the pro- posed design plans for this lot. The Park District will support the height increase on the subject lot, but stated that any of the other lots on Yolanda Court requesting an in- crease in building height would have to be reviewed by the Park District on a case-by- case basis. The Park District has requested the application be conditioned to install additional landscaping on the Park District's property to screen the proposed house from view. Staff has added a condition to address this issue. . The resolution of issues pertaining to building/landscape designs, site layout, etc., would still be required with the design review application. . The Planning Commission and City Council will be notified of the action of the Zon- ing Administrator along with the extended 20-day appeal period to the Planning Commission and the City Council. Proposed Design The proposed house plans are attached as Exhibit C for reference. The Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan requires that homes on lots zoned Low-Density Residential District have a traditional style architecture with porches and bay windows on the front of the home to provide an interesting streetscape and encourage neighborhood interaction. The design ofthese traditional-style homes would blend with the existing and new SR:06:270 Page 4
