to modifying this condition. Mr. Warnick then itemized the reasons why rolled curbs are not recommended. Chairperson Wilson stated he doesn't feel these are "estate" size lots. Mr. YJarnick stated that if these were all one-half acre lots you could consider parking on one side, but with 10,000 sq. ft. lots, there is a problem. Commissioner Lindsey stated he agrees with the current General Plan for the area and that they should stay Low Density. Commissioner Getty stated that she agrees with the statements of the other two Commissioners but agrees with the developers that rolled curbs would be fine as would wooden light poles and she stated it is her opinion that the 8 ft. walk- way maintenance would be a problem if the path and bikeway were separated. She further said that many times the City has had home- owners come in and complain about noise and wherever possible the City wants to eliminate this concern. Chairperson Wilson stated that before a vote is taken, it might be well to ask the applicant if they would like to work on the project further with staff, have the meeting con- tinued to another time so that some of the items of contention can be worked out. After further discussion concerning the size of lots, the applicant and Planning Commission agreed to continue this matter to the Planning Commission meeting of June 10, 1981. PUD-81-6, Vintage Associates, Ltd. Application of Vintage Associates, Ltd. for Planned Unit Development zoning and development plan approval for a 108 unit townhouse project located on a 7.19 acre site immediately behind the shopping center on Pico Avenue between Tawny and Palomino Drives. The property is zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development-High Density Residential) District. A negative declar- ation of environmental impacts will also be considered. Mr. Harris reviewed the staff report and recommendation of approval. Commissioner Getty asked what was proposed for the corner of Norton and Palomino. Mr. Harris stated that between Concord and Pico, south of Palomino would be an extension of the shopping center. Commissioner Lindsey addressed traffic concerns on Vineyard Avenue. Discussion then ensued concerning adding conditions on developments restricting con- struction until Pico goes through and City Council removes them. Chairperson Wilson said the fact that it may provide affordable housing makes the project somewhat favorable, but we don't know what affordable housing is. Commissioner Getty asked that the traffic committee look into putting a stop sign at Pico and Kottinger as there is a white fence there and when it is raining you could drive across the park, and she feels widening of the area is just as important as the extension and some- thing should be done about it. They then discussed the difference in the size of the units and between A and B sections as shown on the plan. The public hearing was opened. -7- _ . T ._.
