Minutes Planning Commissior, 12/12/84 John Caroline, 4487 Pleasanton AVenue, presented photographs of the type of development he proposes. He indicated that he does not intend to build until at least 1986. He doesn't believe the matter of Valley Avenue extension will be resolved by that time and doubts if it will be resolved in five to eight years. Peters Avenue took eight to ten years to complete. He intends to sell these homes at $79,500 even though constructed in two years. He reviewed the amenities. He asked that Condition No. 2 be eliminated; Condition No. 4, he would like to see parking on the west side of the street; Condition No. 5 he would like west changed to east so they could provide parking on two lanes as thee would be ample guest parking on that side of the street. He stated that the Riccios have been good neighbors and they will construct whatever type of fencing or wall they would like to see put there. Condition No. 3 relates to fencing 4' from the curb. They want it to be private. Condition No. 11 wants a five foot sidewalk. There is a conflict here. Condition No. 8 would create a more burdensome maintenance problem. There is no reason to have it connected. When he builds in 1986 he will still sell his units for $79,500. Commissioner Wilson then discussed the items with Mr. Warnick. Mr. Caroline indicated he is willing to put the four foot wide sidewalk in now. Staff agreed to this. Joe Davis, 447 Mavis Drive, felt that by approving this project it would just add fuel to the fire regarding traffic problems which currently exist and indicated he and his neighbors are opposed to it. Don Blanten,5366 Briaridge, Castro Valley, spoke for the project. Chuck Muth, 3644 Vine Street, concurred with staff and asked the Commission to defer decision for the study of the Vintage Hills area. Bill Lenson, 3950 Stanley Boulevard, felt John Caroline was able to build a quality development in this area as he was the builder of the Lenson house. He should be commended for being able to see the units for $79,500 Frank Belecky, 892 Madeira Drive, represented the Vintage Hills Homeowners Association. He couldn't believe that the 19 homes would sell for $79,500. Mr. Caroline indicated that a price has not been set for the last 11 units only for the first eight which will belong to him. Mike Coldwell, 3745 Vineyard Avenue, represented his parents. He complimented the project. His folks own the property on the other side of the subject development and he does not understand why the developer will put up any type of fences desired by the Riccos but will not do the same for them. They also had draina e concerns. g Glenn Duran, Vine STreet, asked for the project to be put in abeyance for the Vineyard Avenue Study completion. - 17 -
