DRAFT <br />would like to see a jogging or bike path added. He would also like to see some "green area" <br />added along the eastern boundazy. <br />In response to a question by Commissioner O'Conner, Ms. Hardy indicated that a gate would be <br />provided around the recreation area. <br />2. Gated Development <br />Does the Commission support a gated community? <br />Commissioner Olson noted that for a development such as this, he believed that a gated <br />community made sense for the residents, who preferred additional home and personal security. <br />Commissioner O'Connor stated that he did not favor a gated community unless it was at a senior <br />community. <br />Chairperson Blank indicated that he did not support any gated developments, which he felt <br />detracted from the open community feel of Pleasanton. <br />3. House Design <br />Does the Commission wish to make any suggestions regarding the architectural materials used? <br />Commissioner Olsen indicated that he liked the house designs. <br />Commissioner O'Conner would like to see more detailing and "quaintness" added to the homes. <br />He noted that Plan 4 was not as attractive as the other models. <br />Commissioner Blank felt that the Plan 4 design needed to be improved. He noted that the other <br />three models could use more detailing. He also indicated that the placement of the two-story <br />model was important and he would like to know where they would be located in the <br />development. <br />Commissioner Blank indicated that the homes needed to be sprinklered and would like to see <br />more than 50 Green Building points. He requested viewscapes be provided from the neighboring <br />homes. <br />No action was taken. <br />DRAFT EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, 3/19/2008 Page 3 of 3 <br />
