Minutes Planning Commission September 24, 1986 5. Clearing of this area has depreciated our property value and created problems and concerns regarding noise, security, privacy, loss of wind break, excess construction dirt in the air and worry about future disturbances from headlights on I-680 and business activity from the future Koll development. Mr. Mrzywka cited the following recommendations:. 1. Replant bid trees and high shrubs on close spacing on the south bank of the arroyo to make our vegetation shield of sufficient density and height as good or better than before. This is the verbal intent of the Koll Company. 2. Documentation of a replanting plan and committed schedule for our review. Require that replanting be completed prior to the next stage of the Koll development. 3. Plant evergreen varieties wherever possible to continue this greenery screen through the winter months. 4. Continual wetting down of traffic/construction/landscaping areas to reduce amount of dirt settling on our property. 5. Morning start up of construction to be limited to after 7:OOam (Particularly screeching, beeping noises). Mr. Mrzywka reviewed the list of additional concerns expressed by the neighbors as shown on the front cover of the petition dated September 24, 1986. The biggest problem is lack of communication between the developers and the residents. Chairman Lindsey asked if the speaker had any comments to Koll Company's response as described in the letter dated September 23, 1986 presented to the Commissioners this evening. Mr. Mrzywka acknowledged that he has received a copy of the letter. He was not sure it solved all of the problems, but was a forward action. Mr. Mrzywka indicated he would appreciate it if the Koll Company would meet with the 35 homeowners regarding the changes to the landscaping and replanting of the shrubs/trees. He did not want to have to go up and down the street explaining the Koll proposal. Mr. Mrzywka asked for an immediate planting of large trees, that could include evergreen trees being planted on the north side of the trailway. He wished to have all trees planted close together with dense foliage in between. The neighbors want to make it as difficult to cross the creek as possible to maintain their privacy and security. Color pictures depicting before and after tree removal were then presented to the Commission. Mr. Mrzywka indicated it was very difficult to ascertain the proper individuals to contact regarding this project and any relating concerns, and asked, therefore, that a contact name be given to the residents for any complaints or questions. He acknowledged that he has talked to Koll Development and Zone 7 who are both present tonight. Commissioner Innes asked Mr. Mrzywka if he was present at the public hearings for the approval of the Koll Company project. Mr. Mrzywka said he wasn't but was assured by his neighbors Gary Johanson and Stan Kephart that the foliage would remain. - 2 -
