227 Mayor Mercer asked how far the guest parking area would be from the interior units. Mr. Parrish advised that guest parking would be approximately 450 feet away from the center most portion of the project. Mayor Mercer asked questions about the size of the back yards. Mr. Parrish advised that they would vary in the different units; the duplexes would have a side yard of 12 ft. by 20 ft., but the single units would have only a 5 ft. setback with the useable open space in the side yard. Mayor Mercer asked about the elevation of the project as it relates to Vineyard Avenue. Mr. John Barker, Project Engineer, stated the differential in grade would be approxi- mately 15-16 ft., and the same would apply to the easterly end of the road. He ad- vised the elevation area would be landscaped. Mr. Parrish presented renderings of the community center including the pool and tot lot, a streetscape, and the entrance theme. Mr. Parrish distributed additional material to the Council including price com- parison sheets outlining relative retail cost comparison, immobile home alternate duplex pricing, and project dwelling unit breakdown; and article in the Hayward Daily Review regarding small units being constructed in Fremont (Mr. Parrish stated that these units are half the size of the ones being proposed for Pleasanton at about the same price); City revenue generated from fees that will be collected for Quail Creek; and an estimated sewer consumption for the various units in this project. Mr. Parrish requested that Condition No. 7 be changed to allow the homeowners to do their own landscaping. He stated they would have to follow a landscaping plan approved by a landscape committee, with rigid CC&R's to control the project° He suggested that it be required that all landscaping be completed within ninety (90) days, otherwise the developer will landscape the property and place a lien on it. Mr. Parrish proposed that the developer would plant two fifteen gallon trees at each unit and allow the homeowners to complete the rest of the landscaping in the front exterior° Mr. Parfish requested that Condition No. 16 be changed to allow rolled curbs instead of 6" vertical concrete curbs. Mr. Parris also requested that the developer be allowed to pay City fees out of escrow closing instead of at the time of permit application~ Mayor Mercer suggested that the language in Condition 2 be changed to clarify the meaning of the condition relative to approval of patio covers and accessory buildings. Mr. Parrish stated he has been in business in San Jose for twelve years and has built approximately 4,000 homes, the Pleasant~mproject will be a model project because of its unique concept, it will be the most viable unsubsidized project in Pleasanton, it will be built with HUD standards and will be a high quality project, and can be purchased by persons whose income does not exceed 80% of the HUD Bay Area median family income. Councilmember Butler stated he agreed with the concept of allowing the home- owners to landscape their property. He asked how the CC&R's would be enforced. Mr. Parfish stated the homeowners association would have to enforce them. Councilmember Mohr stated that with regard to Condition No. 37 relative to park- ing enforcement, she felt the City should be reimbursed for services rendered by the' Police Department, for parking enforcement, by the homeowners association. Mr. Parfish agreed to this. 4. 1/26/82
