Page 1 of 4 Pages PC Meeting of 12/1/94 PUBLIC HEARING - AGENDA ITEM Southeast corner of Sunset and Stonegate Avenue. Mark Robson/Santa Clara Development (Ida Crosariol. owner). SA-93-111. PUD-93-26. Negative Declaration No. 767 Subdivision Map, Planned Unit Development and Design Review for a 32-unit, single-family detached residential development on 4.76 acres in the R-l Single-Family Zone District. Project involves subdividing the property into 32 single-family lots with private streets and related site, elevation, grading and landscaping plans in accordance with the provisions of SSFMC Sections 20.84, Title 19 (Subdivision Ordinance) and the State Map Act. Commissioner Warren expressed her concern about the blockage of views on certain lots, specifically lot #4. Mr. Robson, Santa Clara Development, stated that the size of the garages now meet the requirements (2-car garage 20' x 22' and 3-car garage 20' x 29'). Richard Harmon, Engineering, said it would be difficult to park and maneuver into the 900 (rotated) garages. Mr. Robson stated that a civil engineering firm (UTS Civil Engineering) has reviewed the design and found them to be accessible. Mr Robson further explained that lots #11, #12, #15 and #24 have been adjusted to meet the open space minimums requested. Lot #13 will have less space but ,,,ill have an improved landscape design. It was the Commission's consensus to have 18' driveway aprons. The Commission raised the question of retaining walls and maintenance. Mr. Robson stated that lots #24 and #3 will have a redwood fence. Commissioner Warren argued that open iron fences similar to the project at Chestnut and Grand Avenues do not provide tenants with enough privacy. Vice-Chairman Lucchesi said that wooden fences would encourage graffiti. Mr. Robson agreed to use wrought iron fences where appropriate. Mr. Robson showed the Commission pictures of a site in San Jose that has narrower streets than those proposed and the design seems to be working. (The site was designed in 1950 with wider cars. ) Commissioner Warren thought the $350.00 annual homeowner's fee was too low considering retaining wall and fence maintenance. Also discussed were street sweeping expenses, storm water cleaning and graffiti removal costs. Commissioner Warren raised questions about the by-laws. The attorney for Santa Clara Development said he would provide a copy of the by-laws to staff. She asked to have a bond Page 2 of 4 Pages PC Meeting of 12/1/94 posted to pay for assessments until 80% of the lots are purchased. She also recommended adding a limit of 2 pets per lot. Sgt. Petrocchi, PD, raised questions about the CC&R's and reminded the applicant about side street parking and fire lanes. Commissioner Warren thought the various fees were too low (general maintenance, management fees, etc.). A discussion ensued regarding the park in-lieu fees. Motion-DeZordo/Second-Padreddii: To adopt a resolution recommending that the City Council approve (a) Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map SA-93-111, (b) Planned Unit Development Permit PUD-93-26, and (c) Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 767, subject to the attached findings and modified conditions of approval.
