(SR 92:146) Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing open on the application. Max Gahrahmat, 2025 Gateway Place, San Jose, explained the history of this project. He stated that from April of 1991 staff and the applicant have been working on this project. He explained he and staff agreed that a greenbelt should be placed on the portion of this plan that was designated as low density. Unfortunately, the neighbors disagreed with the suggestion. He believed that this was a nice plan, however, if Council did not approve the plan presented, Mr. Gahrahmat agreed with staff recommendation #2 so long as he received some clarification on the conditions. Earnie Vasques, McClare, Vasques and Partners, planner for the project, made a slide show presentation of the proposed project and the design of the site plan. He explained that the 390 units were designed around the theme of the school and park with the idea of creating a sense of community that would tie the two villages on one end of the site to the village at the other end. He pointed out the different designs of the homes in each village and how they related to one another. Mr. Vasques felt that this plan kept a better relationship between two planning areas. He believed that it was better to have larger lots with buffers in between rather than the smaller lots close together for the sake of privacy and the intent of the Specific Plan. He then explained the housing and parking lay-out and described the architectural design of the inside and outside of the homes. Awnings were added to the project to develop color and texture as well. Larry Battleson, McKay and Somps, 2600 Kittyhawk Road, Livermore, asked for clarification on some of the conditions set forth on this project. He referred to Condition No. 7 and clarified that even though there would be a master association that sub-tiers for the different villages would be appropriate. 04/01/92 Page 3
