WFRCOD: B, "No structure shall be located closer than 150 feet to the westerly edge of Foothill Road. " Response: The ISO-foot setback line is shown on the development plan, grading/drainage plan, and landscape Plan. The proposed building pad setback for Lot I is ISO feet from Foothill Road, and for Lot 8 is from ISO feet to 180 feet from Foothill Road. WFRCOD: C "Side yard setbacks shall be a minimum of 25 fiet. Main structures with a building elevation facing Foothill Road of between 80 to 100 feet shall have side yard setbacks of a minimum 45 feet. Main structures wider than 100 feet shall have minimum side yard setbacks of 75 feet. " Response: This WFRCOD standard applies to houses with their front building elevations fac- ing Foothill Road. Its purpose is to provide building separations proportioned to the houses sizes, which provide view corridors to Pleasanton Ridge from Foothill Road. However, staff does not consider this standard to be applicable to the pro- posed project: the large separation between these lots and other lots in the area will preserve the views of Pleasanton Ridge and, except for Lot 6, all homes on these lots will have their side building elevations facing Foothill Road. WFRCOD: D. "The maximum height for any structure shall be 30 feet, measured verti- cally from the lowest point of the structure to the highest point of the structure, ex- cluding towers, cupolas, chimneys and other such uninhabitable projections. " Response: The proposed building height is 35 feet. Staff does not concur with the applicant's proposaL Building heights are discussed in the "Design Guideline" section of the staff report. Sections 18.78.080, Subdivision Design WFRCOD: A. "Lots created along Foothill Road, or any frontage road parallel to Foot- hill Road, shall be clustered such that natural open space a minimum of 200 feet in width separate lot clusters. No more than three lots may exist in a cluster of lots. " Response: Old Foothill Road is a frontage road aecessing the proposed project and the Alviso Adobe Park. At its closest points, the proposed development is separated from the Jorgenson Lane properties to the south by 300 feet and from Jerline Place proper- ties - unincorporated - by 1,000 feet. Although eight lots are proposed for this cluster, staff considers their location to make the most sense given the site's limi- tations of topography and natural features and the large separation between these lots and other lots in the area. An eight-lot cluster is also comparable with the five-lot clusters approved for the Moller Ranch development. Item 6.c., PUD-58 and PGPA-ll Page 150134 August 23. 2006
