DR-88-101 = GALLOt 20077 MENDELSOHN LANE Staff presented the request for revisions to plans previously approved by the Planning Commission to construct a new home on Mendelsohn Lane. The applicant was present to answer questions. The Commission had no concerns with the proposal and directed staff to approve the modifications administratively. 2. SD-90-007 - PERRY/JONES, 13820 RAVENWOOD DRIVE Staff presented an overview of the tentative map application and the events that lead to the revised 2 and 3 lot configurations before the Commission now. The applicant was present to discuss the revised schemes. Neighbors were present to discuss the proposals. Some of their concerns were as follows: 1. The trees were not being maintained per the City Arborist's recommendations (though his recommendations were based on approval of the tentative map). 2. The homes should not greatly exceed the square footage of the existing homes in the neighborhood. The applicant mentioned that as the site areas were in- creased (i.e., 4 lots to either 3 or 2), the home sizes would need to be increased proportionately. 3. The setbacks for the southern parcel on the 2-lot configura- tion should be increased. 4. Landscape plans should be provided for at the time of home construction approval. The Commissioners discussed the location of driveway approaches and whether or not these should be indicated on the plans or left for further consideration at the design review stage. The Planning Commission concluded by directing the applicant to prepare a map for public hearing review with the following stipu- lation. Committee-of I2/18/90 - A condition shall be included giving special consideration to driveway to driveway placement in relation to the significant trees. These shall be indicated on the plans presented at the public hearing. - The home sizes should be limited to less than the maximum permitted. - The 3-lot configuration was generally considered to be the most compatible with the existing neighborhood and the applicant should proceed with this proposal to the public hearing. ADJOURNMENT - 9: 15 p.m.
