ITEMS OF DISCUSSION

The Planning Director introduced the request to change the ap-
proved color and indicated.staff's concern over the proposed
change.
The Committee reviewed the color palette.approved for the new
residence and received comments from the applicants. The appli-
cant indicated a preference for "Mediterranean" colors but wanted
to avoid colors with a pink cast. The applicants also felt that
their tile roof was lighter than most which justified a lighter
house color.
The Committee felt that the proposed colors would not be accept-
able. The applicants were requested to work with staff to arrive
at colors that were no brighter than the approved colors.
2. SM-90-001 - DePiero, 14527 Sobey Road

staff to discuss revised plans to reduce the amount of grading for
the proposed pool and patio. The applicant reviewed the revisions
which resulted in reduction from 1300 cu. yds. to 700 cu. yds. of
earth to be cut from the site. The Committee noted that the
previous concerns were addressed by these changes. The item was
scheduled for consideration at a continued public hearing at the
June 13, 1990 Planning Commission meeting.
3. DR-89-076 2 Young, 15185 Pepper Lane
The Planning Director announced that the applicants were request-
ing an exterior change from stucco to natural redwood shingles.

the change to natural shingle.
