the Commission had the opportunity to clarify, she suggested that be done if the Planning Commission were so inclined. Ms. Decker agreed with Ms. Harryman that this was a good opportunity to clarify the language. Chair Blank noted that the condition of approval should be modified to state that no construction work on State or Federal holidays would be allowed. Commissioner O'Connor recalled that the applicant stated he did not want light to go in or out of the tennis court and inquired whether that was included in the plans. Ms. Decker replied that the plans called for opaque glazing and added that a condition could be included for clarification. The false opaque windows were merely decorative to avoid a blank wall. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Pearce regarding whether the language in Condition No. 2 could be modified to further restrict the issue of reflectivity of the PV panels in order to ease the neighbors' concerns, Ms. Decker replied that staff attempted to not require the applicant to return to the Planning Commission should it be found that the PV panels could not go in the well. She noted that the applicant indicated that they had no intent of installing reflective panels, and they were conditioned that they could not be higher than the parapet walls. It was her experience that if they were designed on grade, they were on a 1:12 slope, which was fairly flat. Ms. Decker noted that under Condition No. 1, staff referenced Exhibit A and added that the Planning Commission had spent considerable time trying to capture all of the studies contained in Exhibit A. She noted that the tree survey and an updated letter were not part of it and would be enumerated in the next draft. Commissioner Pearce moved to approve PDR-623 subject to the conditions of approval as listed in Exhibit B of the staff report, with the following modifications that: 1. Conditions Nos. 4 and 18 be combined; and 2. Condition No. 30 be modified to include language that in addition to Federal holidays, no construction be allowed on State holidays and on Saturdays and Sundays. Commissioner Fox seconded the motion. Chair Blank inquired whether if the Planning Director allowed construction activity to start early on a weekday because of excessive heat and if a complaint were received from a neighbor, the Planning Director would stop the construction activity. Ms. Decker replied that was correct and, furthermore, depending upon the sensitivity, staff has required a minimum of 24-hour notice prior to the requested exception. That would enable staff or the contractor to contact the neighbors for their permission. Chair Blank noted that the language stated that "the Planning Director may... "rather than "shall." Ms. Decker replied that the language could be changed to read "shall," which would be the case if there were any complaints. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 12, 2008 Page 15 of 22
