II. NEW BUSINESS
A. Site & Architectural Review SA 86-5 for Tract 13050, Phase I.
Chairman Caouette asked for staff presentation.
Joseph Kicak, Planning Director, presented Staff Report. Noted
that Staff is recommending approval of the Site & Architectural
Plan review SA 86-5, for Tract 13050 Phase I.
Chairman Caouette asked if there were any questions of Staff. Asked
why there were no landscaping and irrigation or fencing plans shown
on these plans.
George Theodorou, Architect - responded that some plans for cut
slopes showing landscaping and irrigation were delivered to the
Planning Department. He noted that these were for slopes only.
Chairman Caouette asked if those plans show frontyard landscaping
and sideyard fencing, as well as, irrigation.
George Theodorou, responded that that was not shown.
Gary Mecklin, Fieldcrest Homes, noted that it was their intention
to landscape the frontyards of all the houses, as well as, put
sideyard fencing in.
Chairman Caouette asked if there were any other questions of the
applicant. Being none, asked if there was anyone in the audience
who wished to address the Commission regarding this project.
Barney Karger, 11608 Bernardo Way, spoke in favor of the project.
Discussion took place between the Developer and the Planning
Commission regarding the landscaping and fencing. It was noted
by Chairman Caouette that the Commission would like to see
everything from the sideyard fencing forward, slope area that
would be subject to erosion and included in that would be the
irrigation. Also, a typical plan showing the plant species, size
and number, as well as basic fence location. Mr. Mecklin noted
that he would do a group of 4 units to show how the fencing will
typically look on 4 units, as well as, show the landscaping for
those units.
Mr. Mecklin, Fieldcrest Homes, asked if they could change the
frontyard setbacks if they used garage door openers. This would
be in order to have some difference in the streetscape.
Joseph Kicak, Planning Director, responded that the County of San
Bernardino, prior to the City being incorporated, indicated
setbacks directly on the Final Map and they varied. What they
were allowing was an average minimum setback. Our current
ordinance does not provide for that.
Vice-Chairman Hawkinson noted that this was the first time that
this request has come up.
Discussion took place between Staff, the Planning Commission and
the Developer regarding the model location. Mr. Mecklin noted
that they put 4 models on Van Buren Lot 1-4, but in the interest
of time asked what he would have to do to put the models in the
northwest corner of Van Buren and Observation Drive. Joseph
Kicak, Planning Director, noted that if the models are to be
constructed prior to the recordation of the final map, a Parcel
Map should be filed. Mr. Kicak also noted that this would give
the Developer access from Observation Drive and Van Buren.
In response to Vice-Chairman Hawkinson's question about the
Developer's grading timetable, Mr. Mecklin noted that they
would have the flows, landscaping and put in temporary meters
prior to the rainy season.
PCM 86-54 Motion by Chairman Caouette, seconded
by Vice-Chairman Hawkinson and passed
by a 4-0 vote, to add Condition #8,
which states that prior to issuance of
building permits, a detailed fencing,
irrigation and landscaping plan,
including plant species, size and
number and other requirements of Title
18 shall be approved by the Planning
Commission.
PCM 86-55 Motion by Chairman Caouette, seconded
by Commissioner Cole and passed by a
4-0 vote, to approve Site & Architectural
Review SA 86-5, with conditions as
