additions or new construction on the two houses on Lots 1 and 5, such as is done for the houses on the Mariposa Ranch subdivision. Commissioner O'Connor indicated that he likes the design plans as well but expressed concern about the carports. He noted that he understands the concept of massing and wanting to see through for at least two of the lots, but he believes Lot 5 needs a garage as it fronts on Augustine Street. He suggested that the architecture of the existing home be matched to make it more attractive. Chair Blank indicated that he liked the project overall and had the same concern about the carports; however, he believed the rationale seems logical and made sense. He recommended that the conditions include the language suggested regarding having the plans reviewed by the noise engineer to ensure the criteria are met, that the Commission be provided the plans for new construction on Lots 1 and 5, and that the noise and vibration from the Southern Pacific Railroad line be disclosed in the deed so potential owners would know it is there. He indicated that he supported the replacement of trees, stating that it has been required in every other residential development. He inquired if the trees were replaced one-to-one and suggested a compromise to have the developer pay into the Urban Forestry Fund the equivalent of one-half the cost of the tree to be removed. Commissioner Pearce moved to make the findings that the proposed application is covered by CEQA Class 32, Section 15332 A-E and that the proposed PUD development plan is consistent with the General Plan for the purposes of the PUD Ordinance, to make the PUD findings as listed in the staff report, and to recommend approval of PUD-72, subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B, with the following modifications and additions: (1) Add the condition regarding a cost analysis as detailed in the July 23, 2008 memo from staff; (2) Include language in Condition No. 21 that the noise mitigation measures shall be reviewed by a qualified acoustical professional; (3) Modify Condition No. 53 to include the disclosure to prospective owners of the noise and vibration generated by trains on the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks;(4) Add a condition that the project developer pay to the Urban Forestry Fund an amount equivalent to one-half of the estimated value of the heritage tree to be removed; (5) modify Condition No. 16 to specify that all carports and garages be used solely for parking and not for storage; and (6) Add a condition that the Commission be provided copies of plans for all Zoning Administrator approvals for modifications or new construction on Lots 1 and 5. Commissioner Fox seconded the motion. Commissioner Narum noted that she would like to see more flexibility with respect to the condition that there be no modifications to carports. She stated that installing trellising and vines would be acceptable. Commissioner Pearce PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, July 23, 2008 Page 11 of 25
