Ms. Dennis said yes and she also had met with the applicant and staff. Mayor Tarver asked if anyone wanted to commem further on this item. Jack Hovingh, 4250 Muirwood Drive, felt the PUD should not be modified. If this PUD is approved, what will stop the next project from wanting more square footage. The PUD as originally set up is not a bad PUD but approving this modification would compromise the whole project. He urged Council to vote against the modification. There was no further testimony. Ms. Dennis said she spent time with the applicant to see what the issues were. She remembered that this PUD had come before Council in February 1997. She agreed with some of the comments as far as what Council expected Moller Ranch to look like versus what it actually looks like. She disagreed with the color proposed. She feR the color was too light especially with the extra square footage. Darker colors would reduce the massiveness of the house. She proposed the following: (1) that the color not be permitted to be lightened and that there be a permanent restriction that the color not be lightened in the future; (2) that the garage not be increased more in the future from what is presently proposed; (3) that the pitch of the roof remain at a 5:12 pitch; (4) that two feet would be removed from the building height; (5) that there be no enclosed porches or walkways; (6) that there not be any remote enclosed accessory buildings, such as a pool house, etc., and all of the above be recorded as permanent restrictions. With these conditions she would agree to the additional ten percent. She was concerned with the comments about people coming back for changes. But if there was a ten percent increase that restricted the roof, size, and garage size, she felt the City would get back something that is currently lacking in the PUD. She felt the additional restrictions, in exchange for the ten percent in square footage was a good deal. Ms. Michelotti said the PUD modification is only for lot 92. She asked if Councilmember Denms wanted the additional restrictions as a standard for the PUD. Ms. Dennis wanted other developers to understand that if they wanted a small increase in the square footage, there might be other restrictions. Ms. Ayala said 4,500 square feet is the maximum amoum allowed; so why should the city allow people to come in at more than that. Mr. Swift said the City staff was expecting 4500 square feet as the maximum size of the house. Ms. Ayala said the project being discussed is Moller Ranch located on Foothill Road. This development is not very popular with residents because the houses at the top of development are visible. At the last meeting there was considerable comment about how the Pleasanton City Council 8 05/05/98 Minutes
