There being no further speakers, the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Ms. Michelotti, seconded by Ms. Dennis to adopt Resolution No. 99-09, approving the application of Greenbriar Sycamore Valley Company for a Master Conditional Use Permit. Ms. Dennis supported the motion. She believed the secondary units would work to provide flexible space and keep people from having illegal arrangements in their homes. She wanted to be flexible for people who owned larger homes. She felt there was a need for these units. Ms. Michelotti said this application provides a basis for approvals in the future regarding secondary units. Mr. Pico was disappointed that a second model was not provided. He felt the model reflected cabanas and pool houses. He did want to see the project move forward, he only wanted the potential buyers to have a choice. Mr. Pico made a substitute motion that there should be a condition making the units handicap accessible and that the future approvals need to adhere to any setback standards that may be adopted by the City Council within the next six months. The motion died for a lack of second. Mayor Tarver had similar concerns. He felt the secondary units should be limited to the larger lots. He would like to see a master permit for the nine lots along the outside. Ms. Dennis felt the size of the secondary units was not significant. If someone wanted to build a larger secondary unit, they would have to get approval. Mayor Tarver said the master permit states secondary units can be built within the specifications. Mr. Pico asked how much was the PUD modification fee. Mr. Swift said it is $50. Mr. Harlan said the maximum size for a secondary unit is 1200 sq.ft. It does not preclude anyone from coming in on an individual basis to get approval for a larger unit. He believed staff in reviewing a subsequent design might find it in conformance if the square footage were raised. Pleasanton City Council 11 02/02/99 Minutes
