The applicant redesigned the proposal to address all of the Planning Commission's concerns. One unit was removed from the original proposal, bringing the number of units to 18. The four attached units were reduced to two and redesigned to complement the single-family homes. The facades of the single-family homes were redesigned with more articulation to reduce the visual impact of the garages. One-third of the three -car garages were removed, also to reduce the presence of the garage doors on the street. With these changes, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Planned Development and Vesting Tentative Map at the August 23, 2001 hearing.

In September 2000, the applicant interviewed residents of Elderberry Way to determine their feelings about the proposal. At that time, some of the residents expressed concern about the possibility of Elderberry Way being extended at some point in the future. Neighbors were afraid that speeding and traffic would become an issue if Elderberry was no longer a dead-end street. In order to address that concern, the applicant designed the street for this project in such a way that, if it does eventually meet up with Elderberry, the road will have curves and will not be attractive to people wishing to drive quickly. The applicant also met with representatives of Kraft Food in April 2001 and with the Halcyon - Foothill Homeowners Association on August 28, 2001. The mailing notification for this and other public meetings public hearing was the standard 300- foot radius. No public comments were expressed at either Planning Commission meeting.

The developer will pay the required DFSI, park dedication in -lieu fees, school mitigation fees and associated development fees. Budget Authority Not applicable a
