DRAFT <br />dated May 9, 2007, and the following amendments: (1) Modify Condition No. 7 to replace <br />the language prohibiting heating lamps and/or special lighting with the following: "Special <br />lighting will be allowed but must not be a nuisance"; and (2) Add a new condition <br />requiring that the full menu be made available at all times when alcoholic beverages are <br />served. <br />Chairperson Fox seconded the motion. <br />Ms. Decker requested that the Planning Commission amend Condition No. 4 which was not <br />addressed in the staff memo, addressing payment of sewer fees to the City of <br />Livermore/City of Pleasanton. <br />Commissioner Blank and Chairperson Fox accepted the proposed amendment <br />Ms. Decker requested that a condition be added to clarify in the PUD guidelines whether or <br />not the home should comply with the R-1-6,500 or the R-1-20,000 standard. <br />Commissioner Blank and Chairperson Fox indicated their preference for the R-1-20,000 <br />standard. Commissioner Blank suggested the language "not to exceed 6,600 square feet." <br />Chairperson Fox stated that she could support that language. <br />Ms. Decker recommended that the Planning Commission consider a garage exemption of <br />approximately 700 square feet as is typical for contemporary custom homes. <br />Chairperson Fox noted that she would support the R-1-20,000 standard, plus the addition <br />suggested by Ms. Decker. However, if the percentages were to exceed the R-1-20,000, she <br />would like the matter to return to the Planning Commission rather that have astaff--level design <br />review. She noted that the neighbors indicated that the smaller homes were at the front area of <br />Ruby Hill. <br />Ms. Decker suggested supporting the proposed design review process as a staff-level review <br />rather than atwo-phase process. She advised that this project was for a recommendation by the <br />Planning Commission, not an approval. <br />Chairperson Fox reiterated that she would prefer it to be R-1-20,000 and would not be able to <br />support to the amendment. She retracted her second to the initial motion. <br />Commissioner Narum seconded the amended motion. <br />Commissioner Pearce did not believe the $5,500 fee for removing non-heritage tree was in <br />the spirit of the Heritage Tree Ordinance and proposed that Condition No. 28 of <br />Exhibit B-1 be deleted. <br />Commissioners Blank and Narum accepted the proposed amendment. <br />Chairperson Fox inquired whether the restaurant and house could be the subject of separate <br />votes. Ms. Decker noted that would not be advisable because it was one PUD. <br />DRAFT EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, May 9, 2007 Page 5 of 7 <br />
