Minutes Planning Commission September 10, 1986 Tracts 5680, 5681, and 5682, Lund Application of Victor and Lawrence Lund to subdivide an approximately 53 acre site into 129 parcels for single-family residential use, ranging in size from approximately s,ooo sq. ft. to approximately 30 sq. ft., and two parcels for park and open spaces uses, located generally in the area east of the terminus of Junipero Street and San Jose Drive. Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development) - Low Density Residential District. Mr. Swift presented the staff report recommending approval subject to the conditions of the staff report, amending Conditions 18, 37 and 38 as requested by the applicant (disseminated earlier to the Commission members). Commissioner Michelotti asked about Page 4 of the report relative to grading. Mr. Swift acknowledged that staff is trying to cover all bases. The haul route for the project was discussed. Mr. Okamura reported that the imported rock would probably be hauled via Bernal Avenue, but basically there would be no off-site hauling for the development. The public hearing was opened. Art Dunkley, Castlewood Properties, 205 Main Street, urged approval of the proposed subdivision. He reviewed the reasons for the proposed changes to the staff's report. Condition No. 37 basically relates to a street configuration which is different than what the City has previously required. He understands staff will be recommending a change to the standard street configuration, but it shouldn't apply to this development. This is a Low Density residential project and 50 feet of hard surface would remove ambiance from it. He asked that the Planning Commission recommend 40 feet instead of 50 feet. Mr. Okamura stated that the proposed configuration will be the new City standard, but that it probably wouldn't have to be imposed upon this project. Commissioner Michelotti asked if there would be a homeowners' association. Mr. Dunkley said, "no." The public hearing was closed. Regarding Condition No. 37, Commissioner Innes felt uncomfortable with the new street configuration requirement. Chairman Lindsey felt in this low density development and with the type of landscaping proposed, the street configuration can remain standard. Mr. Dunkley, staff and the Commissioners then discussed Condition No. 38 as proposed to be modified. Commissioner Innes felt that from a marketing standpoint a five foot strip is beneficial to the development of the neighborhood. 17 - ___. _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ r
