Minutes Planning Commission June 25, 1986 proposing only two. She also asked that with 25% being set aside for low income what the rent standards would be. Mr. Steinberg said he is not quite sure and this is usually set by local law. Mr. Swift then gave an example of another development in town where two-bedroom units are going for $660. Commissioner Berger didn't feel that a single mother raising children could afford these prices. Mr. Swift explained that the GMP lower-income exemption rules would mean that a family of four would have to make approximately $22,000 a year to pay approximately 30~ of their income for rent, the $660 figure. Commissioner Michelotti discussed with Mr. Martinetti the main entrance being on Andrews Drive and how one would determine this to be the main entrance, whether or not there will be a second entrance. Setbacks of the project were then discussed between Commissioner Innes and staff with staff indicating that, although the three story height in some cases has a small setback, there is no problem from staff's point of view with the proposed configuration and lot layout. Andrews Drive will not be travelled generally by other City residents; tall,l vertical tree planting planned would soften the apparent height; the three-story buildings are stepped to two stories at both ends, have patios breaking up the facade, and a sloping roof. The public hearing was closed. Commissioner Wellman expressed enthusiasm with the project design. Commissioner Michelotti complimented the developers for their outstanding job. She felt the project would be real tone-setting and the environment is beautiful. Commissioner Berger complimented the architect. Chairman Lindsey asked the applicant if he had any objections to any of the conditions. Mr. Steinberg said they do not have any objections but would like to clarify some of the items as follows: Page 9, No. 20 - he felt there is no issue but they had talked about a 5' sidewalk on both sides and asked Mr. Swift what size it would have to be on Owens. Mr. Swift said possibly 6', it cannot be 5'. It needs to be 6' on both sides or 8' on one. Condition No. 13 - he asked the exact extent of the work required. Mr. Swift stated there is an existing median strip on Old Santa Rita Road. The condition is required to enhance stacking room to get onto Andrews without having to back up through traffic on Santa Rita Road, this is a standard requirement. Commissioner Innes felt the cost should be shared by the benefactors. - 9 - .. .._. .y.... _.... _ ...
