reasonable conditions to hold him to proceeding with the project. Mr. MacDonald reiterated there were extenuating circumstances, but after listening to the neighbors the problems go far~her back than he was aware. Mr. Campbell suggested three phases. First, satisfy the existing conditions set forth in the letter of December 7, 2001 within two months; second, he would get six months to complete phase one of this application; and if he does that, then he gets a certain number of months to satisfy phase two. Ms. Hosterman felt that was a good plan. She believed that once Mr. Duggan has spent money on phase one, he would be highly motivated to finish the job. Mr. MacDonald cautioned that if Mr. Duggan has to spend money to complete a porch he is going to tear out, he will run out of money to get to where he needs to get. He felt it was more useful to spend money getting things done that would not have to be tom out later to get through the project, such as fences or other pieces of the project. Staff has drafted strong conditions. Mr. Campbell felt it was important to satisfy the initial conditions first. Then there could be discussion about the addition. Mr. Brozosky agreed. Ms. Ayala verified that there was a contractor and asked when he would be ready to start work. Mr. MacDonald did not know when work would start. There is a plan check phase. Basically, Mr. Duggan has money in the bank, he has a contractor, and a plan that hopefully will be approved at this meeting. He would agree with any set of reasonable conditions. He had no problem with phases for the project. There being no further speakers, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Roush believed all the items in the December 7, 2001 letter were addressed in the conditions of approval. Ms. Ayala liked the plan for the addition. She said if Mr. Duggan has to complete condition 1 of the December 2001 letter, it will not look like the new plan. She wanted to repeal the approval of the addition unless he meets certain timetables and guidelines. She believed the neighbors would be much happier with the new plan than just trying to bring the house up to Code. Mr. Roush referred to Condition 3 of the conditions and suggested it be reworded to say that if the fences are not repaired within thirty days, then the approval lapses. The same thing for Condition 4; if the pier holes are not securely covered within thirty days, then the approval lapses. Condition 6 could say "The applicant shall complete and receive Building Department final occupancy for the first floor living space and porch additions within six months and prior to Pleasanton City Council 35 03/18/03 Minutes
