Planning Commission Regular Meeting November 9, 1995 <br />Minute No. 95-22 Page 5 of 11 <br />Emslie: Mentioned that this is not the only opportunity to review the environmental information <br />presented by Mr. Foreman and McManus. The DSEIR will be before the Planning Commission <br />before it makes a decision. That document will have 'chapter and verse' the information we <br />reviewed briefly here. You will have the opportunity to quiz the consultants involved, as well as <br />have their reports in front of you so that you will have more detailed analysis. Additionally, the <br />DSEIR will be circulated and anyone in the public who is interested in it will be given the <br />opportunity to raise questions and comments before the Planning Commission makes their decision. <br />Ravenstad: When we get the DSEIR, will we get the Mitigation Plan that Mr. Foreman just <br />showed us? <br />Emslie: There will be discussion of the Mitigation Plan and any documents that are available, will <br />be made available to the Planning Commission at different meetings. It won't be a problem <br />getting that information to you. <br />Kalvin Platt, SWA Group: Presented the Site Plan for all phases of the project, discussed the <br />original plan and its history. He presented drawings of the housing, discussed materials and color <br />schemes, access to the various neighborhoods and shoreline trails, fencing, the pond, and finally, <br />parks and activity areas. <br />Ness: Asked if two single -door garages could be incorporated into the design. <br />Reed: What is the price range for 2A and 213? <br />John Hughes, Citation Homes: Upper $200K to lower $300K. <br />Kalvin Platt, SWA Group: Continued to discuss Phase 3, the Courtyard Homes, which are <br />detached condominiums. The homes are in groups of six and eight units. <br />Berger: Where is the parking? Where has this kind of project been done? <br />Kalvin Platt, SWA Group: Each plan has a two -car garage. There is no driveway parking and <br />no courtyard parking. The loop street is wider than the residential neighborhoods. Parking is on <br />both sides. Visitor parking is 150 parking spaces on the street for 178 units. <br />John Hughes, Citation Homes: Similar projects have been done in Pleasanton, Belvedere, at <br />Santa Rita Road/Stoneridge, which have 2000 to 2600 s.f. units. Also, San Jose, Tresor, Blossom <br />Hill Road, 11/a miles West of Almaden Boulevard. <br />Ravenstad: Expressed his familiarity with the project, Belvedere, which has a high-level of <br />planting detail around the project, which does not appear on the Roberts Landing Courtyard <br />Homes. Is there any opportunity to bring in some frontage landscaping in order to soften the <br />transition between the building and the hard court. Also expressed that part of the success of the <br />Belvedere project is the high attention to landscaping detail and would like to see more on the <br />Roberts Landing project. <br />Kalvin Platt, SWA Group: Agreed that the landscaping is what makes the projects work. <br />
