Mayor Pico declared the public hearing closed. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Hosterman, seconded by Mr. Campbell, to uphold the <br />appeal subject to the conditions of approval as outlined in Exhibit B, thereby <br />approving the design review application to allow the construction of the two-story <br />house with modified house colors and landscape plans. <br /> <br /> Mr. Campbell believed the homes in Happy Valley should not look like the other <br />neighborhoods in Pleasanton. <br /> <br /> Mr. Brozosky did not have any problems with the applicant's landscaping plans. <br />He did not want the City telling applicants how they can landscape their homes. He <br />pointed out that this house will not be located on a ridge and is not that visible. <br /> <br /> A substitute motion was made by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to <br />approve the project subject to the conditions as outlined in Exhibit B and allowing <br />the applicant to use the original landscaping plans and colors for the house and <br />accessory structure. <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Brozosky, Campbell, Hosterman, and <br /> <br /> Mayor Pico <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Approval of a Consultant Contract with Mundie & Associates to prepare the <br />Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Kottinger Hills PUD Development Plan <br />(PUD-33). (SR 04:122) <br /> <br />Brian Swift presented the staff report. <br /> <br />Mayor Pico invited public comments. <br /> <br /> Martin Inderbitzen, 70'77 Cole Center Parkway, representing the applicant, <br />encouraged Council to authorize the contract so that the environmental impact review <br />process may begin. He pointed out that the environmental impact report is an <br />informational document and the process allows the applicant an opportunity to develop <br />factual information and detail about the scope of the project and the impacts it would <br />have on a variety of issues. The EIR process allows for a high level of interaction with <br />the neighbors. It also allows the citizenry the opportunity to interact with the consultant <br />so that information about the project may be disseminated accurately. He believed it <br />would be appropriate and fruitful in this situation for all of the decision makers, City <br />Council and the Planning Conunission, to participate in a scoping process as a way to <br />gain more information and ideas into the consultant's initial work. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 31 05/18/04 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
