Minutes Planning Commission April 8, 1987 Chapter VII of the General Plan be the guidance factor. Mr. Ferreri asked that this condition be worked out between staff and the applicant. Mr. Swift stated the high density residential private recreational facilities and balconies do not have to meet the 60dB noise levels in all cases. Because of the recommendations made by the noise consultant and high quality of the project, staff wanted the units to be as noise free as possible. The decision does rest, however, with the Planning Commission. Commissioner Michelotti asked if anyone was familiar with plexiglass barriers as to maintenance, scratching, etc. She wanted to ensure that the would be kept in a shiny condition. Mr. Ferreri said he hasn't had any experience with plexiglass barriers but perhaps one of his consultants in the audience has had such experience. Mr. Ferreri stated that basically the balconies would be behind trees and not visible from the street itself. Commissioner Berger then discussed with Mr. Swift the location of the plexiglass on the balconies and whether or not it would be extended to the roof line. Mogens Mogenson, A.I.A., stated that he has had experience with plexiglass and it does scratch and dirt collects into the cracks. They prefer not to have the plexiglass on the balconies. Mr. Ferreri addressed Condition No. 10 regarding the main entrance driveway 300' to the west. They would like to have the architect, traffic consultant and staff to resolve this issue to the City's satisfaction. Actually moving this driveway 300' west could pose some problems. Mr. Swift said that staff could work with the applicant to resolve this issue. Mr. Ferreri addressed Condition No. 18 and asked that it be modified to correspond to City Council condition levied against the Mozart development. Mr. Swift stated that Council's position regarding to Mozart Development was to delete this condition entirely. Chairman Lindsey asked if the City Council required bonding for widening Foothill Road. Mr. Swift said that was required as an interim measure. Commissioner Tarver said the drawings seem to be oriented away from the street. The project layout shows the garages to be built in front of the units on the street side. Mr. Mogenson said the garages are oriented toward the south of Dublin Canyon Road. There is a 15% slope and the units overlook the garages. The units toward the creek do overlook the creek. Commissioner Tarver questioned the aesthetics of that arrangement. Mr. Mogenson said he didn't feel the arrangement to be poor. They will have the same the roof as the buildings themselves. In discussing this issue with City staff, they also felt this to be a desirable configuration. - 5 -
