It is obvious that the proposed size of replacement trees is diminutive. Decades of growth <br />will be required to bring these tiny replacement trees to anywhere near even a fraction of the <br />size of mature trees being removed. Replacement trees should be required to be much more <br />mature. <br />Therefore, the Response Committee strongly disagrees with the City's conclusion that <br />replacement trees will ensure "that the site will remain vegetated and provide adequate <br />careening in the future." Certainly not in our lifetimes, nor in the lifetimes of our <br />children. <br />4444 <br />The top of Page 19 of the Staff Report contains a paragraph briefly brushing aside the <br />absence of draft CC&Rs at this point in the approval process by indicating that the <br />Application "has not provided any specifics as to what may be included in future CC&Rs, or <br />similar limitations that would be enforceable requirements for the development of individual <br />dwellings other than the standards of the PUD criteria and related development standards in <br />the R-1 zone. " <br />The Response Committee indicates below (as noted below regarding maximum building <br />height), that details can be overlooked with disastrous results. Neighborhood citizens are <br />completely baffled as to the justification for this lack of information, i.e., that it is <br />`premature" to be discussing these limitations. <br />On Page 40 and 41 of the March 7, 2018 Response Document, the Committee discusses at <br />length this complete disregard for public information relative to the neighborhood impact of <br />the proposed project. How can the Application state that the proposed project will "blend in" <br />with the surrounding neighborhood when no details of design standards, building materials, <br />allowable fencing, landscaping, lighting, parking limitations, management of preservation <br />areas or community behavior (noise pollution, loud parties, etc.) are addressed whatsoever? <br />The Response Committee again strongly reiterates its request for at least draft CC&Rs to be <br />available for public review as a condition prior to any potential tentative approval of the <br />proposed project. Without draft CC&Rs the community has no method to assess many of the <br />substantial neighborhood impacts of a proposed development of this magnitude. <br />4444 <br />In the middle of page 19 of 63, the Staff Report discusses that "the R-1 zoning requirements <br />limit building heights to 30 feet... and... lot coverage to 50%. " The Staff Report concludes <br />that "this will limit the scale and bulk of the proposed single family residential development <br />and help it blend with the adjacent development.
