Condition 8. "That there be a minimum of 20 feet between houses and the houses be 2,000 sq. ft. to 2,600 sq. ft., with half being an average of 2,500 sq. ft.". Condition 16. "That there would be no common open space but rather private open space with no fences allowed to separate properties with the private contiguous open space". Condition 26. "That no unsightly outbuildings be allowed to be constructed". Condition 27. "That there be no planting of large screening trees, i.e., Monterey Pine, Cypress, Eucalyptus, etc., behind homes bordering Mirador Drive and Angels Street and/or that City Easement Control be established". Added Condition. "That the walkway through from the project be made through to Abbie Street rather than to the School Field". Mrs. Severin stated that while the homeowners had hoped, and still hope, there would be fewer homes, which would thereby minimize grading and cut and fill, they do feel that there are some redeeming qualities of this project which commend it to City approval; the innovative green belt, the varied architectural design including both fronts and backs, the preservation of heritage trees, the planting of addi- tional trees, the sensativity to preservation of the views of surrounding proper- ties by restricted fencing, restricted house heights, and restricted planrings. She added that if these guarantees and others that the City might wish to add are in- corporated in the conditions then the Pleasanton Heights homeowners could live with the project. Mr. Frank Auf der Maur, 599 Pico, asked about the type of fence proposed and how far it would extend. Mayor Brandes advised the fence would extend the full length of the property. Ms. Virginia Patton, 630 E. Angels Street, expressed concern regarding the development of this property. She stated it was a prime parcel and should be developed in a very unique style to preserve the natural beauty of the hillside, and she felt the proposed development did not accomplish this. Ms. Betty Rider, 4393 Miradot Drive, asked what will be done with Miradot Drive and how it will Join into Pico. She also asked what will be done with Abbie Street, the void, then the continuation of Abbie Street. She stated this creates an awkward situation. She also asked what route construction trucks would use in connection with this project. Mr. Harris advised the General Plan shows Miradot Joining into Pico but that is not a part of this particular project. Mr. Campbell advised this project does not impact Abbie Street, and that the City will have to approve all construction haul routes associated with this project. Mr. Ed Catalano, 627 E. Angela Street, stated he was concerned about massive grading and its adverse impact on the hillside. He stated he felt there was a need for elite housing in Pleasanton and this could not be achieved if there is massive grading. Mr. Don Gorman, 3636 Canelli Court, expressed concern regarding the design of Pico Avenue and increased traffic. 7. 10/23/79
