Approved May 6, 2021 3 Planning Commission Regular Meeting April 1, 2021 Minutes Commissioner Waschura expressed concerns related to the proposed location of the detached garage to the heritage oaks but noted that the applicant’s revised driveway design was an improvement over the original design. Commissioner Smith expressed concerns related to the proposed location of the detached garage within the dripline of the heritage oaks and expressed support Vice- Chair Indaco's suggestion to relocate the detached garage. Chair Patel expressed his concerns related to the possible overdevelopment of the property and offered alternative proposals for relocating the house and detached garage and placement of landscape screening. Commission discussion continued related to the placement of the detached garage and driveway. Applicant Dana Stalder responded to the ongoing Commission discussion and requested that the Commission decline the appeal instead of continuing the appeal for further consideration. MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Motion by Vice-Chair Indaco to UPHOLD the decision of the Site Development committee, DENY the appeal, and APPROVE the Site Development Permit (SD20-0083) subject to the conditions of approval in Attachment 1 with the following additional conditions: 1. The final design of the detached garage pad should favor fill over cut. 2. The main driveway should use structural soil fill for all areas with an oak tree dripline. 3. The applicant shall stake the pathway alignment in consultation with planning staff and a Pathways Committee representative to ensure the five-foot wide pathway easement is sufficient to navigate around the oaks before a building permit is issued. If needed, the pathway easement shall be widened to accommodate a public pathway. The easement dedication shall be accepted by the Town and recorded prior to final inspection. 4. The landscape screening plan shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Waschura.
