Planning Commission Minutes DRAFT Much 6, 2008 Page 3 had concerns with the safety issue of drivers on Purissima Road viewing the structure. He asked the Planning Commission to deny the permit. Commissioner Collins suggested that viewing the landscape screening plans might solve some of Mr. Kirkpatrick's site concerns from his property. Mr. Kirkpatrick replied that the trees needed to be much higher than the ones specified to obscure the view of the metal roof. Commissioner Collins asked Mr. Kirkpatrick if he still had concerns about the location of the house. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the house should move farther down. He also felt the fence surrounding the tennis court would affect Palaniappan Jambulingam's (another adjacent neighbor) view. Discussion ensued regarding the lighting on the back of the new residence and the chance for future solar panel installation. Paul Hickman, Purissima Road, said the builders had been very cooperative in discussing issues with the neighbors. As far as the location of the main house, if the area to the south were made more flexible, sufficient space would be available to relocate the house without disrupting the applicant's plans. He felt it would be better for him and the Kirkpatrick's to have the house moved farther to the south. Chairman Carey said in terms of what the applicant is trying to accomplish on the site with the entryway, etc., there are functional and overall goals that would be lost with relocation of the house. CLOSED PUBLIC HEARING Dipesh Gupta, Applicant, stated that per Mr. Kirkpatrick's concern, the lights on the residence would be frosted and etched. Any lights that the Planning Commission suggested will be installed. Regarding Mr. Hickman's request to relocate the house, moving the house 15 to 20 feet would require redesign. Moving the house farther, 6010 80 feet, would create a huge impact of significant magnitude for other neighbors. Chairman Carey asked what area of the roof is planned to be metal. Mr. Gupta explained that the flat portion of the roof will be metal. The roof material will not be reflective. Commissioner Harpoothan asked if copper would be the metal that would be used for the roofing material.
