Commissioner Narum indicated that she had spent a fair amount of time with the Williamsons to understand their concerns. She thanked Sunrise for participating in the mediation process and stated that she is thrilled with the outcome of the project in terms of how it looked, its fitting-in with the neighborhood, and its providing a needed amenity to the community. Commissioner Fox thanked the neighbors for getting involved and working hard to participate in the process and thanked Mr. Dolan and Ms. Giffin for theirwork as well. She referred to Sheet L.1.2.; the diagram of the lighter roof, and Chair Blank noted that Sunrise has agreed to lighten the roof and work with the neighborhood. He pointed out that three Commissioners supported the roof color of the birdhouse on the left side of the diagram. Commissioner Fox stated that she felt the sign was too big at five-foot seven-inches tall and suggested that it be reduced by two feet. Chair Blank noted that Sunrise has likewise agreed to work on the sign and with the neighbors. Commissioner Fox noted that there are three handicapped parking spaces and inquired whether the number of spaces should be increased. Mr. Dolan replied that staff can review this and will require the numbers of spaces per regulation. He also confirmed that the majority would rather have concrete parking spaces over grass. Commissioner Fox referred to Sheet C-2 and inquired if the Foothill Road was for exit only and would have no ingress. Ms. Giffin replied that was correct. Commissioner Fox suggested it be made exit and right-turn only. Commissioner O'Connor noted that there is a median at that location and would only allow a right turn. Commissioner Fox inquired what the squares on the Sheets from C-1, C-2 and C-3 were and if there would be a sign on the corner of Foothill Road and Stoneridge Drive. She further inquired where delivery trucks would access the site and fire turn-around requirements. Ms. Giffin replied that the squares were wheelchair access ramps and that all ingress would come off of Pleasant Hill Road including delivery trucks, which are currently proposed to load and unload by the trash area. She noted that Sunrise has agreed to move the trash area a few feet to the south to ensure there is enough room for the 20-foot fire turn-around clearance. She added that there is also an emergency vehicle access (EVA) proposed around the building so fire trucks would not need to back up. Commissioner Fox referred to Sheet C-2 and inquired what the black line next to Foothill Road might be. Ms. Giffin replied that she believed it was a retaining wall and asked the architect to clarify this. Mr. Gates stated that is a landscape strip that separates the sidewalk from the EVA. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, December 10, 2008 Page 29 of 35
