<br />WFRCOD: F. "Open fencing shall be required, except that solid, privacy fencing may be <br />allowed in areas of a lot not required yard areas if it is screened with landscap- <br />ing. " <br /> <br />Response: Fence designs are covered in the proposed landscape design guide- <br />lines, A fencing plan showing fence locations will be submitted with the tentative <br />subdivision map for review and approval by the Planning Commission, <br /> <br />Site Design <br /> <br />Overall Site Plan <br /> <br />The proposed site design was determined by several factors: <br /> <br />· input from Jorgensen Lane neighbors, <br />· orientation to Alviso Adobe Park, <br />· access onto Old Foothill Road instead of Foothill Road, <br />· preservation of a large area including existing creeks/swales as permanent open space, <br />and <br />· creation of a rural characterlbaekground for the project. <br /> <br />The development's cluster concept fulfills the applicable policies and standards of the Pleasan- <br />ton General Plan and the West Foothill Road Corridor Overlay District, which mandate clus- <br />tered hillside development as a means of preserving large areas of open space land and natural <br />features. This concept is, in staff's opinion, successfully earried through for the following rea- <br />sons: <br /> <br />· Viewsheds of the Pleasanton Ridge and hillside areas from Old Foothill Road, Foothill <br />Road, 1-680, and the Jorgenson Lane and Laguna Oaks neighborhoods are maintained. <br />· The proposed development is separated from existing developments, which maintains the <br />sparsely developed character of the hillside area. <br />· Cattle grazing of the open area can be continued thereby maintaining the rural character <br />of the site and its surroundings and refleeting the site's history as part of the former <br />Meadowlark Dairy property. <br /> <br />The applicant will transfer a 35-foot wide strip of land to the rear/side yards of the following <br />Jorgensen Lane homeowners: <br /> <br />· David C. and Judith Blaski Banks (8055 Jorgensen Lane), <br />· Lawrence and Cynthia Atherton (8037 Jorgensen Lane), <br />· Lide Family Trust (8001 Jorgensen Lane), and to <br />· Sandeep and Eena Duggal (8019 Jorgensen Lane). <br /> <br />Item 6,c., PUD-58 and PGPA-I I <br /> <br />Page 17 of 34 <br /> <br />August 23, 2006 <br />
