CityCouncil | 2012-10-02 | 8 | from plots 8, 9 and 10 for widening would require backyards of existing homes be purchased. Councilmember Johnson moved adoption of the resolution approving the tentative map. Vice Mayor Bonta seconded the motion. Councilmember deHaan stated Condition 7 and 10 should be discussed. In response to Mayor Gilmore's request for clarification, the Acting City Planner stated the property owner is okay with providing the two affordable units in the existing structures. Mayor Gilmore stated the condition gives the property owner an option, but the Council does not want to give the property owner an option and instead would make the two affordable units technically off-site. Councilmember deHaan stated language should be added to Condition 10 regarding noise impacts and the fence. The City Attorney stated Condition 10 would read: "improvement plan for the subdivision shall include a plan for the construction of an attractive fence or other feature along the Tilden frontage of lots 8, 9 and 10 to minimize noise and security impacts on the neighborhood.' Councilmember deHaan stated the condition could say the height of the fence would be increased. Mayor Gilmore stated the fence design would go through design review so that it is attractive and considers security and noise. The Acting City Planner stated the new language would state the fencing would be attractive, address neighborhood security concerns, and come back for a future Planning Board public hearing. In response to Councilmember Johnson's concern, the Acting City Planner stated the property owner would have to come back for design review. Councilmember Johnson stated the language should read: "may consider;" walls might echo and be louder. The Acting City Planner stated the condition would be structured so it is clear there will be discussion at the community level about the edge of the fencing. Mayor Gilmore inquired what would happen to the rest of the fencing as lots are developed. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 8 October 2, 2012 | CityCouncil/2012-10-02.pdf |
