c. KL-OY-4, raienaer tlome8 - TeIIL8t1Ve TraCL ~~ivc tr.u.u.~ Application to rezone from an A (Agricultural) District to a P.U.D. (Planned Unit Development) District, that property described in Assessor's Map Book 941, Block 950. Chairman Plato opened the Public Hearing. Secretary Castro summarized the staff report. He then stated that in reviewing this project, the Planning staff took issue with the commercial development as previously proposed but believed that this had been resolved on the revised map. Mr. Castro feels the multiple area is acceptable, but did want to stress to the Commissioners that they were not obligated to accept the multiple if they did not feel it was acceptable. With respect to the P.U.D., from the Planning point of view, Mr. Castro felt that it could be very effective and feels that it can be supported; the manner in which the home and the lot is being oriented would be attractive in the area. At the Subdivision Committee Meeting held regarding thin application on February 5, 1969, several suggestions were made by Caom<isaioner Antonini. These revisions were the addition of one more cul-de-sac, thereby reducing the amount of multiple to 7 acres net, and to provide boat and camper trailer apace in the vicinity of the entrance of the #680 Interchange. A 40 ft. width of land is being left open between the freeway right-of-way and the single-family lots in order to permit the developer to negotiate with the State for landscaping. There would be only one through-street (Muirwood Drive) running through the Foothill Farms, Falender Homes and Highland Oaka developments. The type of units planned for this development will be of equal qualitq ae the other two adjoining developments. Mr. Ted Fairfield of Macxay 6 Somps, engineers for this development, spoke and stated that much preliminary work had been done. They had contacted the school superintendent to check out the school situation and also to discuss the proposed high school. There were changes made from the original plans. First, the access problem was resolved when the developer decided to open up all access roads to the park area. The other change wqs to propose a minimum of 15 ft. eideyard, with seventy-five percent of the homes having 17 ft. sideyarda. Mr. Castro suggested dropping some lots to put in the 40 ft. buffer strip, and adding two more cul-de-sate by moving the multiple area over. They have also eliminated the commercial and added space for boat and trailer storage. There will be a maaimim density of 120 dwelling unite in the 7-acre area set aside for the multiples. The gross residential density will be 5.49 for the RM and 4.56 for the R-1. The architect, Mr. Steen Siakiad of B. A. Berkua Associates of Southern California, again spoke describing the concept, etc. He did stress that the boat and trailer space, according to their estimates, would be inadequate to house more than half of the anticipated mmmber of boats and trailers for the area. There were manq questions from the audience: Mr. Victor Bailey - 4565 Black Avenue How well will the camper-trailer-boat area be protected? The area will be heavily planted with a berm to eliminate as eyesore and will be maintained with the multiple area. This storage area will be made eligible to the entire Falender development. Mra. Nora Grasamver - 7222 Tulivwood Circle What will the apartments look like? Tha reply was that the Commission was only considering the concept at this time. This lady also inquired about the number of children moving in. The proposal is for a rather high grade type of park dwelling, with extensive recreational facilities. Mr. Fred Falender replied to this last question, stating that as far as the number of children are concerned, it would be the developer's desire that it be an adult project but that they would not make this a stipulation. -8-
