18672 | Board Member Zuppan said her recollection from the previous discussion was that the Tilden fence was supposed to be of above average design and not a simple wooden fence. Staff Member Sablan said that it is what the applicant is proposing, but the design is up for discussion. Board Member Knox White asked if they can change items in the development plan beyond the items requested by the applicant. Staff Member Thomas said they can make any changes they wish to the application. President Köster asked if the lots had to be 5,000 square feet. Staff Member Thomas said the lots have been approved by City Council already. President Köster opened the public hearing. Alan Teague said they should revise the agreement to match the recommended Universal Design ordinance. He suggested the visitability could be accomplished by going through the garage. Evan Schwimmer asked that lots 5, 6, and 8 be changed to be single family homes. He said the duplexes on Versailles would change the character of the neighborhood. President Köster closed the public hearing. Board Member Burton said he is okay with the setback changes for lots one and two. He said he would go with the board on the setback for the other lots on Versailles. He said the visitability and accessibility requirements are not negotiable. He said he could not support the designs of the first two homes. He said the design lacked character. He said they are enormous 3400 square foot homes, and that they needed more sculpting. Board Member Sullivan said she does not see much character in the design. She said the fence along Tilden is the entrance to Alameda and needs to have more permanence than a simple wood fence. Board Member Knox agreed with the two previous board members. He asked who would be responsible for the City's side of the fence. Staff Member Thomas said they were talking about having vines covering the fence along Tilden to prevent graffiti from being a problem.
