Chair Blank: He complimented the applicants on the Green points. He requested that larger four-by-four paint chips to facilitate the envisioning of the colors. He would like the drainage issue addressed and see the location of the solar panels well depicted as well as accurate visuals taken with the right photographic lens. He expressed concern with the mass of the house shown on the west elevation from the street side with the gate and proposed some detailing to make it less massive. He indicated that he would like the tennis courts soundproofed and the windows properly shielded to avoid any noise or light impact on the neighbors. He supported the standard construction hours as well as the open fencing. Mr. Pavan requested clarification in relation to the insulation of the solar panels and asked the Commission if whether it would like to see exactly how panels will be done or see the line of sight from the uphill neighbor looking across the building. Chair Blank replied that he would like to see the line of sight and acomputer-generated photo looking down at the panels to show what they would look like. Mr. Pavan noted that when he discussed the visuals with the applicants, he had directed them to include some photos from the Allens' house to replicate what they would be seeing from their windows. He indicated that he would follow up on that. He stated that the construction hours would be the standard Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and that there would be a standard building and engineering condition to address the flooding so that all year on-site water is kept on site and drained appropriately into the City's drainage system. Ms. Decker requested a point of clarification that Commissioner Fox would like to see a staff memo on the setbacks and accessory structures and that Chair Blank would like to have that at a workshop before the public hearing. She recommended that the materials be presented to the Commission at a public hearing rather than have a second workshop. Chair Blank indicated that he was fine with that and that he was not lobbying for or indicating that he desired a second workshop. Commissioner Fox requested that staff research the information in the Municipal Code as well for the memo and that it be provided to the Commission ahead of time. Ms. Decker indicated that staff would address the comments and questions presented tonight in the staff report for the hearing and that other issues that come up at the hearing will be addressed at that time. Commissioner Fox inquired if the composite renderings would be available in the packet and when the hearing date might be. Ms. Decker confirmed that the composites renderings would be available and that she would need to look at the schedule to determine when it might be scheduled. She noted that the meetings have a fairly impacted schedule but that staff would get this on the schedule as quickly as possible in concert with the applicants' time frame to prepare the requested renderings and landscape plans.
