The citizens who attended the public hearing to d]speak in opposition to the project were concerned with the issue of traffic. The indicated that many motorists used Loyola Street as a means to reach the interior residential street in the neighborhood and that the parking of recreational vehicles on the street further reduces visibility and inhibits the traffic flow. Neighbors contend that the increase in daily vehicle trips associated with the 93 unit project will impact the livability of their residential, street. Some citizens residing on Lloyola asked that if the project is approved, a second vehicular access from Campus Park Drive be required. The Commissioners did not propose a condition to that effect but did recommend a condition that no certificate of occupancy be issued for the units on the north side of the proposed extension of Loyola until the signal and intersection improvements are completed at Princeton and 118. The City Engineer indicated that these improvements are targeted for completion in April of 1987. The primary concerns discussed by the Commissioners were the amount of grading, density averaging, and the emergency access road. The Commission's recommended conditions are as follows: That for the purpose of providing security for the homeowners, the use of perimeter fencing be evaluated by the Director of Community Development and the Sheriff's Department to administer a determination as to whether to require perimeter fencing. The determination shall be made in writing by the Director of Community Development prior to the issuance of a building permit. That the emergency access road remain open and ungated at all times. That no certificate of occupancy be granted for the units north of the Loyola Street extension until the signalization and intersection improvements at Princeton and SR 118 are installed. That the half court basketball area recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission be separated from dual use with R.V. parking area on a separate pad. That the Parks and Recreation recommendation for a twelve to fourteen person jacuzzi be deleted for both health and energy Planning Commission Minutes of June 25, 1986 conservation reasons. Page 4 Oak tree protection. At the request of the Parke and Recreation Commission, the applicant has provided, on the tentative map, the identification and locatio of oak trees on the project site. This oak tree survey, which fulfills the requirement of Condition No.40, indicates that no oak trees which are located in the area of development. Condition No.41 requires that a report be provided which specifies the condition of oak trees and identifies measures to protect the trees from damage due to grading. 1. MOTION: Commissioner Keenan moved and Commissioner Hartley second to approve the project because it provided the maximum use of open space and site lines to open space which more than mitigates the grading intrusion into the areas with 208 or greater slope. Motion denied on a 1:2 vote, Commissioners Hartley and Claffey voting NO and indicated that although the building design was appropriate, there was a concern of the grading. Commissioner Hartley stated his concern of extensive land redesign by grading. Motion modified to direct staff to provide a resolution recommending to the City Council denial of Vesting Tentative Tract No. TR -3049, Residential Planned Development Permit No. PD -1057 - U.S. Condominium Corp. for consent calendar at the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission The Commission felt that their concerns could be addressed by modifications which would reduce the grading. One suggested way was to split the project into two portions. Another was to shift the location of some of the units and condense the project slightly to avoid the slopes. E.
