The proposed Planned Unit Development conforms to the terms the ordinance establishing the Westborough-West Park #3 Planned Community District, and, where not in conflict therewith, the provisions of the General Development Plan and Schedule for the District.." Mr. then read an 10M from Director of Public Works Louis H. Goss: "Reference is made to the map Planned Community Unit "AU of Westborough-West Park Planned Community Unit #3, South San Francisco Unified School District. This map was prepared by Watanabe and Lipscomb, Architects, for the South San Francisco Unified School District. On this map the slope on the graded area at the southeast corner the property shows that the toe of the slope is practically on the northerly right of way line of West- borough Blvd. The fill slope has now been constructed to the right of way line as shown on referenced map. At the time westborough Boulevard is improved, this slope will fall at the back edge of the sidewalk. This office therefore recommends that a request be made of the high school district that a retaining wall be constructed 10 feet northerly of the right of of Westborough to support the higher portion of the f 1 slope, so that this 10 foot area can be used for landscaping and the installation of utilit at the time westborough Boulevard is constructed and all utilities are installed.." Mr. Pass further read an 10M from Police Chit John Fabbri, to wit: "In review of the submitted application and plans, it is requested that the report also include a lighting plan within the school complex. This is of importance due to the high incidence of malicious mischief damage committed upon school property during early evening and dusk to dark hours. All traffic signs and markings involving the entrance to the school complex should be installed with the approval of the Director of Public Works and the Police Department.. tt Mr. Pass next read an additional statement by Police : "Ref. #1 ... Light this department.u plan submitted meets the approval Mr. Pass further read an 10M from Landscape Specialist John Hoffman~ "This office has reviewed the plan submitted with request for subject use permit and would like to make the following recommendations: ... 490 ... 9 Ul.. Due to extremely windy condit in the Westborough I would suggest that only very wind resistant trees be used. The Chinese Elms, Sycamores, and Fmowering Plums shown on the plan will probably not survive unless located in a well protected spot. 2. The City would normally require the planting of street trees on any new development. However, in this case we feel that the t interests of the City and the school would be to carry out the existing landscape pattern eluIDl'ing M0nterey l'ines on Westborough Boulevard and Callan Boulevard frontage where there is sufficient room to set them back at least 15 - 20 feet from the curb. Plant at approximately 20 - 30 feet on centers. 3. Notes on the plan call for certain areas to be landscaped when final adjacent property are determined. This seems reasonable except in the case of the northwest corner where the property is adjacent to Callan Boulevard. At that point the street is already existing. I would recommend that the requirements of the Publicc..rks Eapartment be followed as to sidewalk installati0n and the remainder of the slope be landscaped now. I would expect a reasonable number 0f trees to be included this'area as well as in the areas slated for future landscaping..it Present for the applicant was Mr. Stanley Haney, District Engineer for the South San Franciseo Unified Sch~0l mistrict, 400 HB" St.., South San Francisco, California. Nr. Haney stated that Mr. Watanabe was actually the sgentz: architect for the project, but he was present the hospital and should be excused. Mr. Haney ~elt he was not as with the subject matter as Mr. Watan.bl and was not in a pos ion to approve or disapprove anything, but would try to answer any question the Commiss might have. There being no one else further to speak for or against the request, Chairman Boblitt declared the public hearing closed, and solicited comments from the Commissioners. Vice Chairman Zlatunich asked Mr~ Haney the School District was willing to erect the retaining wall as reCluired. by the mirector of Public Works. Mr. Haney replied that the City had approved the grading plans long before and that he had no authority to agree or disagree in the name of the school. But he realized this would require further conversation between the school and the city. He believed the present grading to be in conformity with the aPl'roved grading l'lans. Commission Raffaelli was of the opinion there did not seem to be enough landscaping on the present plan and he was afraid that when the Commission approved the present plans it would lose control over the final performance of the school district as as scal'ing and green areas were concerned. Mr. then that the present plans were in compliance with the requirements as set by the City's Landscape Specialist. The school and the city would have in this project a joint venture as it was next to a newly planned park. The color photograph of the site ... 491 .... .... 2C - UP-79 plan might have been a bit misleading since the artist had used very unusual colors. All the brown areas were part of the greenery, and there was plenty of that. Commissioner Raffaelli then asked Mr. Haney if the school was going to provide so much landscaping. Mr. Haney stated that a sizable amount of the budget for the entire project was set aside for land- scaping. Chairman Boblitt asked Mr. Pass and Mr. Haney what a reasonable amount trees would mean in the mind of the landscape special~.st, without a spec ic nu~ber. Mr. Pass answered that the final considerations concerning the tyPW trees, their number, and location would be settled at the level of the Architectural Committee. The use permit, if given, should be made subject to compliance with the requireme.nts as by the Architectural Committee. This Committee stood in this not on its own but was a legal extension of the powers of the Planning Commission which could have, if it so desired, a final say in these matters. The logbook of this Committee's actions was available at all times to the Commission, and any matter that the Committee handled c'ould be reviewed by the Commission. Any member of the Commission was always welcome to sit in at the hearings and for that matter would be heartily welcomed. Commissioner Zlatunich again brought up the matter of retaining wall asked the school district could to put this in as was in. GOBS'S . he could not commit the school to the payment of ,.
