Minutes Planning Commission 5/27/87 PUD-87-8, Lamb Application of Kristen Lamb for Planned Unit Development rezoning and development plan approval for a six-parcel single-family residential development on an approximately 4.76 acre site located at 2982 Foothill Road. Zoning for the property is R-1-6500 (Single-family Residential) District. Mr. Swift recommended approval of the staff report and stated that the development standards as reflected in proposed Condition No. 2 should read "R-1-20,000," and not "R-1-220,000." Mr. Swift also reported that a letter from the applicant has been distributed which would clarify Condition No. 10. It is requested that the letter be included as part of the approval, and Mr. Swift reported that staff has no problems complying with this request. The letter also has a condition added to it relating to landscape improvements adjacent to the sidewalk. The public hearing was opened. Mike Cooper, Cooper and Sword, stated he agrees with the staff report with the clarification to Condition No. 10 as stated in his letter. The letter further requests Conditions No.8 and 36 be deleted. Mr. Cooper said he would be happy to answer any questions relating to the project itself and that Chris Kinzel is here to address any questions posed relative to traffic/circulation. Chris Kinzel, TJKM, spoke to the special sensitively related to Foothill Road as regards speed, narrowness of street, and traffic volume. Vice Chairman Michelotti asked Mr. Kinzel to address the number of driveways on Foothill Road in the area of the proposed project. Mr. Kinzel reported that between the Lamb property and Bernal Avenue, there are six parcels. The parcels are served by five driveways and one public street. One of the driveways going to the Lamb property could be combined with the one to the south. A center turn lane is ultimately envisioned to serve all of those parcels. Vice Chairman Michelotti asked Mr. Kinzel if he saw any problems with the current driveways prior to the development to the south because of the distance separating them. Mr. Kinzel said the southern driveway gets minimum usage. Don Cottle, 14 Dorrell Drive, Moraga, Kristen Lamb's business partner, stated that they had met with Lee Henderson and tried to incorporate his ideas into the plan. The results are an improved subdivision. Ms. Lamb's parents owned the property for 34 years. Ms. Lamb intends to keep Parcel No. 3 for herself. By completing the subdivision, it would enable her to complete her plan. Lee Henderson, 2870 Foothill Road, stated the plan as submitted has a number of desirable features. Ms. Lamb has generously taken off two lots from the original proposal which is probably unprecedented in Pleasanton. He hoped they would get a bigger price for the larger lots. Mr. Henderson encouraged the eastern side of Foothill Road be put in asphalt instead of rock. There - 12 -
