MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION 4/25/84 Page 8 Commissioner Wilson felt that an opening onto Sunol Blvd. would be appropriate. Messrs. Warnick and Harris addressed access to the project. CommissionerWilson then addressed a swimming pool being so close to Bernal Avenue and that he felt there would be problems policing its use particularly during fair time. He felt this was a poor location for a swimming pool. CommissionerLindsey asked why there would not be a left turn lane onto Bernal Avneue. Mr. Warnick then reviewed the proposed circulation system. Commissioner Wilson felt that there will be a lot of traffic being put in the apartment complex and that Sunol Blvd. should be accessed. Mr. Warnick then posted a rough map of the proposal and proposed circulation. The public hearing was opened. Fred Howell, 1476 Houston, Lafayette, partner of EVH, made a presentation. He reviewed the clustered units. He indicated that each cluster would have its own color scheme and that scheme would differ from the next cluster. He stated that the building coverage would be 20.8% of the total land area and landscaping would be 50.1%. They have drafted a contract and submitted it to Peter MacDonald for review concrening their proposal. He explained the negotiations with the City and County of San Francisco. They concurred with the conditions suggested by staff except they asked for more latitude with regard to condition number 7. After discussion, Mr. Warnick suggested that "or provide an alternative plan to the City for drainage" be added. The parties agreed to this. Morgan Howell, 1625 B Street, Hayward, addressed this application, indicating that the complex office would be on Bernal Avenue right next to the swimming pool so that it would be policed. Commissioner Wilson continued to express a great deal of concern with the swimming pool being right next to Bernal Avenue particularly during fair time. The applicant stated they could take the pool out of the entire front area. Mr. Howell indicated his willingness to remove the pool and replace it with landscaping. Commissioner Wilson asked if the City and County of San Francisco agreed to the road. Mr. Warnick stated that they are about to go to the PUC for right of way but there is no agreement. Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood, supported the project and asked that 25% of it be set aside for low income. The applicant indicated that they will make 25% of all of the units regardless of phasing or size available for low income housing. -8-
