Mr. Harris stated this was the same recommendation which was made with regard to the initial Deer Oaks proposal and the Commission recom- mended to Council that there be no more than three lots on the Twelve Oaks cul-de-sac. The reason being four lots, would allow houses to be much closer together than the other homes that are now being built in the area. He stated Mr. Dunkley has removed one of the lots on Twelve Oaks Drive allowing there to be four lots and in order to keep the number at 24 he took that lot and put it down and reduced the size of the lots on the flat land area from a minimum lot size of 25,000 sq. ft. to 22,000 sq. ft. When this was considered before, Mr. Dunkley asked for 24 lots; staff and the Commission recommended to Council that there be 21 lots. Council approved 23 lots and now Mr. Dunkley is again requesting 24 lots, but one lot on Twelve Oaks Drive has been moved and reduced the number from 5 to 4 because that was what the Council approved and then the lot was moved adjacent to the lots on Foothill Road. Mr. Harris continued to say that the other lot, to make up the difference, which is now Lot No. 7 which had been redesigned after initial submittal, has been provided access off the cul-de-sac. Staff now agrees with this and is now recommending 22 lots as opposed to 21 before. Commissioner Jamieson stated that from the standpoint of the Com- mission that he felt staff should be allowed to decide which lot should be eliminated. Commissioner Jamieson referred to page 22 of Volume II of the EIR and comments made by Plummer and Associates. He stated they refer to double glazing and asked if double glazing will be required on all homes. Mr. Harris stated it is uncertain at this time, but he felt in this case they would probably have to have the double glazing or there might be other options to meet the new State energy require- ments. Mr. Harris further stated that we are not recommending this in any of our conditions. Commissioner Jamieson also commented on page H-2 of the EIR and a comment by the Currator Assistant of the California Archeological Inventory. He stated they recommend that a qualified archeologist conduct a strategy field survey prior to development of the project. Mr. Harris stated staff is not recommending this be done, but is recommending that they stop construction if they dig up artifacts and have them analyzed before continuing. Commissioner Jamieson asked if when comments such as these are received from an outside agency we have to follow them. Mr. Harris stated we are required to comment on them but we do not have to follow their recommendations, depending upon whether the impact is deemed to be significant or insignificant, then we are required to do certain things and take certain actions with regard to significant impacts. Commissioner Jamieson referred to condition number 47 regarding fire retardant material on the roofs and sidings and asked Mr. Harris if shake roofs would be approved. Mr. Harris stated that shakes can be treated to the satisfaction of the Fire Department but that there is some question as to what has to be done to make them fire retardant. -15- ___... .._ __y...____..._.___.__~__. _.._.~.~ .._...._.._. __..~.._ . _._.._. _.__.... ,..
