Ms. Deino indicated <br />they would be planting 24" box trees for the entire PSE, berming <br />up to three feet and shrubs planted will grow to 4-5'. <br />Eucalyptus trees planted grow quickly. <br />Chairman Doherty and Commissioner Lindsey discussed the <br />landscaping plans with Ms. Deino. Chairman Doherty emphatically <br />indicated he did not want to create another long "Chinese Wall" <br />structure in the City. <br />Commissioner Innes asked Mr. Bernstein about the setback of the <br />windows. Mr. Bernstein explained. <br />Commissioner Innes asked the applicants what kind of tenants <br />would be housed in the building. Mr. Koll indicated that it <br />would be light industrial, R&D. Commissioner Innes then asked <br />about parking indicating that this project doesn't meet the <br />Hacienda CC&Rs for parking. Dave Hogue, Vice President of <br />property Management for Koll addressed this issue. According to <br />their calculations, for their use and based upon past experience <br />they will not have a parking problem. Inasmuch as they have <br />built 25 of these projects throughout the United States for their <br />own use and they do not want to have a parking problem either. <br />commissioner Wilson asked staff to address the elimination of the <br />four bay door being eliminated. Mr. Harris indicated that staff <br />recommends they be eliminated because they are quite visible. <br />Staff is not suggesting glass replacement. <br />- 22 - <br />___.._ <br />
