restore the structure(s), then the applicant is required to provide designs that are in scale and keeping with the surrounding homes. Therefore, staffs has conditioned that future renovations and new structures be design in the "Old Pleasanton" style and compliment the surrounding homes in scale, color, materials, and placement. Permitted and Conditional Uses The proposed PUD is subject to the permitted and conditional uses of the R-1 One- Family Residential Districts as outlined in the Pleasanton Municipal Code (P.M.C. § 18.32). Fencing The proposed project does not contain modifications to the existing fencing. Staff feels that the existing fencing is adequate for the current development. Staff has conditioned this approval to required that future fencing follow the R-1-6,500 requirements and the access portion of Parcel B be considered as the front property line for purposes of determining the appropriate setbacks and height restrictions for fencing. Trees There are four trees on the subject property. The existing trees are proposed to be retained and staff has conditioned the project to provide an arborist report for the trees with future development. The existing trees are to be evaluated and bonded for at that time. A tree removal permit must be obtained for the removal of any of the trees; requests for removal are evaluated by the City's Landscape Architect. Pleasanton Heritage Association Although the project site is outside the boundaries covered by the Pleasanton Heritage Association (PHA), they provided comments regarding the proposed project on March 25, 2008 (Attachment 4). The PHA expressed concerns over the land division that are zoned for multi-family dwellings, the size of the lots, the space accommodations for two homes while providing adequate parking and landscaping, density, and design. Furthermore the PHA feels that the historic nature of the existing structures and provisions for adequate parking be reviewed with any future applications. Specifically regarding the proposed project, the Association preferred garages over the proposed carport designs. The PHA stated it had no position on this project other then the concerns that were described. PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT Notice of the proposed project was mailed to the surrounding property owners and tenants within 1,000 feet of the subject property. At the writing of this report, staff received two a-mails expressing concern for development on this site. Please see Attachment 7 to read the a-mails in their entirety.
