Italian Stone Pine trees be planted between the house and the property line to the south, to help till in the gaps in the landscaping. Staff has conditioned the project to provide this species or as reviewed and approved by the Planning Director. The neighboring property owners at 850, 862, and 874 Gray Fox Circle in the Foxbrough estates neighborhood expressed concerns about the visibility of the proposed two-story house on Lot 1 and requested that story poles be installed. The existing one-story home on the site is partially visible from these lots and the proposed home would be taller than the existing home. Photographs of the existing home with story poles is shown in Exhibit C. The top of the orange mesh is at the height of the proposed roof gutter. New homes in the Beratlis Place and Hatsushi subdivisions which abut the existing homes in Foxbrough Estates are restricted as follow: ^ Beratlis Place-One-story maximum (24' height max.) ^ Iatsushi-One-story maximum (25'height max.) The house pads on Hatsushi property arc approximately 12-20 feet lower than the top of ridge separating this subdivision from Foxbrough Estates. In the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan, the house on Lot 1 is not required to be one- story. However, due to the neighbors concerns staff has added a recommended condition of approval that the area under the house on Lot 1 be graded down at least 5 feet, to reduce the height of the house as viewed from Foxbrough Estates, and that a 5 foot tall retaining wall (or 2 low walls 2-3 feet in height) be installed approximately 10 feet to the rear of the house. With this requirement, the house would appear to be approximately 25 feet in height, when viewed from Gray Fox Circle. As noted above, there is substantial landscape screening to the rear of the house and staff has added a condition that additional evergreen landscape screening be installed.
