Minutes Planning Commission 9/28/83 Page 8 This matter was continued to 10/12/83 as requested by staff. PUD-83-19, Ponderosa Homes Application of Ponderosa Homes for PUD (Planned Unit Development) zoning and development plan approval of a 180 lot residential development project on approximately 38 acres located west and north of the existing terminus of Hansen Drive just east of the I-680 right-of-way. Zoning for the property is R-1-6500 (Single-family Residential) District. A Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris presented the staff report recommending approval of the proposal. Commissioner Getty asked about the configuration of the streets and whether or not the project has sewer allocation. Mr. Harris stated that Ponderosa has a long term agreement with the City. The public hearing was opened. Jack Wong of Ponderosa stated that Richard Frisbee and Mike Taylor are present to answer any questions concerning the proposed development. He stated they have no problems with the conditions imposed by staff. Commissioner Getty asked if the houses are to be staggered or will they appear staggered. Mr. Wong responded that they do meet setback requirements. Mr. Harris stated that staff is requesting two of the streets be extended even with temporary paving so that Police and Fire will have flexibility in access to the development. He said Ponderosa may wish to put in permanent improvements or they can make the whole thing temporary (reference to condition No. 2 of the staff report). Commissioner Lindsey asked Mr. Wong if he agrees with this and Mr. Wong said they are in accord. Chairman Jamieson asked if all of the R-1-65 units are sold. Mr. Wong said that they are and that they sold from $135-170,000. Chairman Jamieson then asked what the 5,000 sq. ft. lots would sell for. Mr. Wong stated he wasn't sure but they would probably be $10-15,000 less than the R-1-65 units. Commissioner Lindsey asked if similar units have been built elsewhere by Ponderosa. Mr. Wong said they have built similar units in Union City. Commissioner Lindsey then asked if the density was being reduced from the original plan. Mr. Wong said it is somewhat different. Rod Schloss, 6652 Hansen Drive spoke addressing this application. He indicated he has come before the Planning Commission several times in the development of the Hansen properties and this is the third time on this particular property. He felt that the 5,000 sq. ft. lot size would be the size of the lots and not just the minimum.
