Planning Commission May 9, 1979 Page 7 PUD-77-10, Mission Park Investment Co. Application of Mission Park Investment Co. for approval of a planned development consisting of a 108 lot residential subdivision containing a 2.4 acre commercial area on a 54 acre parcel of land located immediately easterly of Sunol Blvd. and between Mission Drive and Pico Avenue. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was also considered. Mr. Harris explained the staff report. He stated the staff has met with the applicant and the applicant's representative and have agreed to make minor changes on some conditions outlined in the staff report. Mr. Harris then read the changes. Commissioner Getty inquired about cul-de-sacing Junipero and how the fire trucks would get to the property. CC&Rs were addressed and Mr. Harris stated that the second owner of the property seldom gets copies of them. Mayor Brandes stated that the City Council would consider this some time in June. Chairman Doherty spoke to traffic and suggested Centex and Mission Park Investment Co. get together concerning eliminating street/traffic concerns. The public hearing was opened. Richard Frisbee, Environmental Center, on behalf of the applicant spoke concerning the meeting he had with homeowners of the area. Mr. Frisbee explained the steepness of the road, enumerated the number of lots with respect to their size. Frisbee stated he concurred with staff but had a problem with condition ~~10, last sentence "Final" map and preferred it to be "Tentative". He explained his reasons. Responding to Chairman Doherty, Frisbee explained the percentage of homes with relationship to lot size. Commissioner Jamieson addressed Pico Avenue and Frisbee explained there is no need for access to Pico and that they have left that 'open space'. They addressed Juniper Street being a cul-de-sac and Commissioner Jamieson stated he didn't think that was a good idea. He also stated that wooden standards, signs, etc. would deteriorate with the weather and be subject to vandalism. Frisbee shared this concern and stated wood is more costly than metal. Commissioner Wilson spoke to the cul-de-sac in the park area. Mr. Harris stated this was considered in a condition of the staff report. He further addressed parking and Frisbee stated they would just as soon not provide more parking and that the City doesn't seem to want more parking either. Frank Auf der Maur, 599 Pico, spoke stating he had no problem with the proposal as it would not effect his property as he previously thought it might. Karen Mohr, President, Mission Park Homeowners Association, addressed their concerns for park land, access from Pico as well as Mission Drive to park land and leaving open space, access to school for children afoot and on bikes and that if the court were elbowed and widened for parking for park access this would be a good idea. Mrs. Mohr stated the hill is unique and ideal for expensive homes but that her group would like to see a minimum of cut and fill. She suggested the houses looking down be situated close to the front property lines. She addressed fire concerns and perpendicular traffic flows. She spoke to open space off Dolores and the fact that there are motorcycles now using the hill and she wanted that stopped and would like to see fencing with access for fire and emergency services only to eliminate the motorcyles. She stated if the concerns are eliminated, the homeowners are for this project as proposed. Ron Hood, 506 Mission Drive spoke addressing the same concerns as Mrs. Mohr. -7- _ . _ . __ .~___.~ _ . _ _d... _. _... _,.. . _... __-__ _. 7....,„.... _,. ._ _... _. _.. _.... ..... ... ... ... _.~. .~ _. ... ._ ._... ... ._. ... _
