<br />Commissioner Olson believed that the conditions of approval developed by the <br />Commission should be included as an exhibit in the Development Agreement and <br />referenced as an integral part of that Agreement. Ms. Decker noted that would be <br />included in the staff report. <br /> <br />Chairperson Fox expressed concern about the trees and the fire buffer area and would like <br />the visuals to realistically simulate what would be planted to screen the homes. She <br />would like the lens issue to be resolved and would like the visuals to be placed side by <br />side. She also had an issue regarding the rezoning from the five-acre sites to houses <br />placed closer together, which would reduce the firebreak between each house. <br /> <br />Commissioner Narum proposed the following changes to the draft conditions of <br />approval: <br /> <br />1.Modify Condition No. 14 to expand the list of prohibited parking to include <br />motorhomes, fifth wheel, and other recreational vehicles. <br /> <br />2.Add language to Condition No. 35.a. to ensure the developer would provide the <br />fence to contain the livestock; and <br /> <br />3.Modify Condition No. 36.b. to cap the maximum building floor area at <br />12,500 square feet; <br /> <br />Commissioner O’Connor believed the proposals for the various house sizes should be <br />discussed. <br /> <br />Commissioner Narum would be willing to accept the revised staff recommendation for a <br />20-percent FAR and maximum 12,500 square feet. <br /> <br />In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Olson regarding green building requirements, <br />Mr. Pavan noted that each house must have 50 LEED points; this would be addressed <br />with each design application. <br /> <br />Chairperson Fox would prefer that the houses closest to Kottinger Ranch be in the same <br />size range as the existing houses and that the estate lot homes be capped at 9,000 square <br />feet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pearce agreed with that recommendation. <br /> <br />Commissioner O’Connor noted that he was concerned about the 12,500-square-foot size <br />and noted that a 10,000-square-foot home had been the previous iteration. <br /> <br />Chairperson Fox noted that Commissioner Blank requested that the Livermore Airport <br />activity be disclosed to potential buyers. <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 27, 2007 Page 26 of 28 <br /> <br /> <br />
