Commissioner O'Connor believed that access was a significant issue and noted that a second permanent access may eliminate the need for the EVA. Commissioner Olson noted that would enable him to support the EIR. Chairperson Fox would like the concerns about the project to be addressed as a whole, and not in a piecemeal manner. Commissioner Olson believed that the conditions of approval developed by the Commission should be included as an exhibit in the Development Agreement and referenced as an integral part of that Agreement. Ms. Decker noted that would be included in the staff report. Chairperson Fox expressed concern about the trees and the fire buffer area and would like the visuals to realistically simulate what would be planted to screen the homes. She would like the lens issue to be resolved and would like the visuals to be placed side by side. She also had an issue regarding the rezoning from the five-acre sites to houses placed closer together, which would reduce the firebreak between each house. Commissioner Narum proposed the following changes to the draft conditions of approval: 1. Modify Condition No. 14 to expand the list of prohibited parking to include motorhomes, fifth wheel, and other recreational vehicles. 2. Add language to Condition No. 35.a. to ensure the developer would provide the fence to contain the livestock; and 3. Modify Condition No. 36.b. to cap the maximum building floor area at 12,500 square feet; Commissioner O'Connor believed the proposals for the various house sizes should be discussed. Commissioner Narum would be willing to accept the revised staff recommendation for a 20-percent FAR and maximum 12,500 square feet. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Olson regarding green building requirements, Mr. Pavan noted that each house must have 50 LEED points; this would be addressed with each design application. Chairperson Fox would prefer that the houses closest to Kottinger Ranch be in the same size range as the existing houses and that the estate lot homes be capped at 9,000 square feet. Commissioner Pearce agreed with that recommendation. Commissioner O'Connor noted that he was concerned about the 12,500-square-foot size and noted that a 10,000-square-foot home had been the previous iteration. Chairperson Fox noted that Commissioner Blank requested that the Livermore Airport activity be disclosed to potential buyers. EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, June 27, 2007 Page 17 of 17
