Zoning for the property is PUD (Planned Unit Development)- Medium Density Residential District Consider Amendment to Growth Management Ordinance Consider Adoption of Negative Declaration Mr. Swift presented his report (SR 89:156) dated April 4, 1989, regarding this matter. Mayor Mercer declared the public hearing open on the application and the negative declaration. Mr. Larry Bridgman, 153 Second Street, Los Altos, stated that in the last two weeks he has met with the surrounding homeowners with regard to issues brought up at the last meeting. In response to the neighbors he has reduced the project from a 35 lot to a 29 lot subdivision, addressed the FARS, reduced some two-story houses to one-story, increased spacing between homes, made deeper back yards, and increased the setback on lots 23 and 29 to 24 feet. He felt these changes will satisfy the concerns of the neighbors and will create a good project for the City. Mr. Harold McGuirk, 7858 Kentwood Way, stated that with the changes made the plan is acceptable and more in standing with the existing neighborhood. The homeowners are still concerned that the plan is tentative and might not be built as presented at this time. He asked that everyone affected be notified any time this matter is considered to insure that the conditions are abided by in all phases of the development. Mr. McGuirk stated it is his understanding that the height of the houses will be equal to but no higher than existing homes. He stated the neighbors no longer object to not having an access on to Foothill Road. Mayor Mercer stated he felt the same condition that was added to the TMI project regarding school impact fees be included for this project, and he wants every phase of the planning process to come to City Council for consideration. Mrs. Laura Reinke, 5137 Forest Hill, addressed traffic impacts and access. She stated with the fewer homes there will be less traffic impact and most of the neighbors do not see a Foothill road access as an immediate need, however, they do feel that a future connection to Forest Hill to the south will add more traffic. She suggested other alternatives to the Foothill Road - 12 - 4/04/8 ZS
