Avenue, north of Sherril Lane and west of Crestwood Drive in the R-E, Residential Estate
District.
Chairman Macdonald opened the public hearing.
Project Planner Manual Baeza gave a brief presentation of the proposed project. Mr. Baeza commented that
an issue arose from Municipal Utilities relative to a sewer and water easement found along the private driveway
south of the project site. Municipal Utilities modified their conditions to allow for the preservation of
approximately twenty(20)trees that are located on each side of the easement. Mr. Baeza stated that staff has
provided the revised Conditions of Approval to the applicant and the commissioners.
Brian King,applicant,concurred with the conditions but commented on two Public Works conditions requiring
the construction of sidewalks along Franklin Avenue and on the site. Mr. King asked Public Works Director
Ron Mutter to remove the conditions, stating that he would rather put in landscaping to match the rest of the
street. However, he will put in the sidewalks if the commission feels that it is necessary.

Commissioner Osborne asked about the drainage on the site. Mr. King stated that several infiltration basins
have been incorporated throughout the site to hold a hundred year,one hour flow. There will be less flow after
development than before development.
Chairperson Macdonald asked about the entrance of the proposed project. Mr.King referred to the PowerPoint
presentation, explaining the entrance to the site.
Director Jeff Shaw asked Mr. King for clarification of which Public Works conditions of approval that he wanted
removed. Mr. King stated that it was item B. 8 (c).
Dave DaBov, resident and owner of 124 and 128 Franklin Avenue, had questions and concerns relative to
drainage, his cesspool, grading, and fees to connect to a sewer line.
Mr. Baeza stated that the applicant is installing a sewer line on Little Franklin for this project,and believes that
Mr. DaBov can connect to it.
Mr.Shaw commented that Mr. DeBov can continue to use his cesspool for as long as it is functional,but once it
fails, he would need to hook up to the sewer line on Franklin Avenue. He added that the sewer line that will go
up the length of Little Franklin will assist Mr. DaBov considerably relative to the cost of installation of the line.
Mr. King responded to Mr. DeBov's concerns regarding grading and the sewer line. He stated that Mr.DeBov's
furthest lot is far enough away from the proposed sewer where he would not be forced to connect to the new
sewer line if his septic failed. Mr. King was not sure of the exact cost of putting in a sewer but thought it could
be in the$25.00 to$30.00 per foot range.
Mr. DaBov commented that he would be opposed to the project if the fees were expensive. Mr. Shaw stated
that staff could call Municipal Utilities to obtain estimated costs.
Mr. Shaw asked Public Works Director, Ron Mutter, if there were any issues relative to Mr. Kings request to
delete the sidewalks on Franklin Avenue. Mr. Mutter stated that Mr. King approached him regarding the
sidewalks and concurs with Mr. King's request. Mr. Mutter stated that there is no other sidewalk on that side of
Franklin Avenue and that landscaping would fit in better with the neighborhood.
Chairperson Macdonald asked Mr. Mutter about the sidewalks in front of the condominiums. Mr. Mutter stated
that if would be up to the planning staff since it was a private street.
Chairperson Macdonald closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Cook commented that she liked the architecture.
Commissioner James commented on the continuation of the sidewalk on the private drive beyond lot six(6),
and would be in favor of continuing that onto the cul-de-sac. Commissioner Foster did not concur with
Commissioner James, stating that the area is very narrow and the added sidewalk would take away from the
landscaping value that would be gained in the project. Commissioner Cook concurred with Commissioner
Foster.
Commissioner James asked if staff had included a condition to continue the sidewalk.Mr.Baeza stated that he
could strike planning condition of approval number twenty-seven (27) if the commission was of a consensus
that a sidewalk was not needed.

Commissioner Osborne commented that a correction should be made to state that each end unit is provided
with two enclosed spaces instead of two covered spaces.
Commissioner Cook had concerns that the long paved area between the garages would look like a huge
channel of cement. Mr.Altopp stated that there will be small planters that will contain a small tree and shrubs.
Vicky Valenzuela, Thatcher Engineering, representing the applicant, thanked staff for their hard work on the
project. Ms.Valenzuela concurs with staff's recommendations including the added condition to up-size twenty-
five (25) percent of the trees to a minimum 36" box.
Commissioner Cook had concerns relative to the landscaping and trees that would grow in such a confined
space along the garages.
Jerry Zigrossi,developer for the project,gave an overview of what he sees happening in the proposed project
area. He stated that this is his fourth tract on Orange Avenue and that he tries to produce a product that young
families and professional people can afford. Mr. Zigrossi concurred with the staff report.
Commissioner Miller arrived at 3:00 p.m.
Chairperson Macdonald closed the public hearing.
Director Jeff Shaw commented on the landscaping along Alabama Street,stating that there have been some
problems along Alabama Street with the utility lines, particularly involving palm trees. He advised the
Commission that staff will be looking at this issue between now and before this recommendation goes forward
to the City Council to ensure that we do not have a conflict between the utility lines and the proposed palm
trees.
Commissioner Osborne referred to the Socio-Economic Cost/Benefit Study,asking how the cost benefit ratio is
calculated. Mr. Shaw responded that it is a composite factor of a number of different issues that make up the
revenue side of the formula. It includes property tax and anticipated sales tax revenue generated by residents
living and spending money in the City.
Commissioner Miller commented that he supports the project from a land use standpoint but there are
improvements in other areas that need to be made.
Commissioner Cook reiterated that there is a lot of concrete between the garages without any landscaping or
decorative paving to break it up. Commissioner Foster concurred with Commissioner Cook asking the
applicant if they were willing to consider some cobblestone, color, pressed concrete or something that would
break up the asphalt flow.
Chairperson Macdonald opened the public hearing.
Mr.Zigrossi commented that he understands the commission's concerns but the India Hawthorns and bubble
trees would break up the white concrete against the black asphalt, which is why they are using more colored
stucco and trim. Mr. Zigrossi is agreeable to using stamped concrete in some areas but that it would need to
be economical for the development.
Commissioner Foster commented that he would like to see that done in keeping with Commissioner Cooks
comments.
Chairperson Macdonald closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Miller commented that there appears to be a basin in the multi-purposed field area and asked if
it was for water retention.
Planning Commission Minutes of
June 27, 2006
Page 8
Chairperson Macdonald opened the public hearing.
Ms.Valenzuela stated that the basin is for both water retention and infiltration. Ms.Valenzuela stated that the
project engineer advised that the detention basin's maximum capacity would allow infiltration to a maximum of
forty-eight(48) hours. It is specifically designed to maintain its value and intended use as a play field.
Commissioner Miller had concerns with the water staying there for forty-eight(48)hours and questioned if the
landscaping was going to survive being inundated for two straight days.
Commissioner Miller had concerns about the wall along Alabama Street. He commented that the two story
units are nine(9)feet above the street and that we could step those units so they do not have a huge change in
elevation. Commissioner Miller also had a concern about the setbacks and asked Mr. Altopp if six foot high
walls were allowed that close to Alabama Street. Mr.Altopp stated that there are noise mitigation measures for
issues that would require a higher wall and that this may require a Minor Exception Permit. Commissioner
Miller commented that if we are going to change this to residential, then we should live by the residential
standards and not make an exception.
Commissioner Miller asked for clarification relative to the basin at the corner of Alabama and Orange Avenue,
asking if it was a berm for decoration or a basin. Mr. Altopp stated that it was a basin.
Commissioner Miller had concerns regarding the site plan, stating that there is an abundance of paving. He
recommended introducing more landscaping to various areas of the site stating itwould give a more residential
quality.
Commissioner Miller stated that relative to land use, it would be great to incorporate mixed use. He would still
support the project if that did not work out.
Commissioner Miller stated that nine items needed addressing relative to the elevations. He expressed
concerns about disorganized and random elevations, window sizes, inadequate shutters and columns, the
architecture and noise issue regarding the balconies facing Alabama Street.
Mr. Dave Musser, project architect,gave an overview of the noise impacts along Alabama and Orange Avenue.
He proposed to build the wall and berm it on each side to reduce the impact of the wall and that it would act as
a sound continuation wall. Commissioner Miller asked if that was why the combination of berming and the wall
is up nine feet. Mr. Musser responded yes.
Commissioner Miller asked about the second floor patios. Mr. Musser stated that the acoustical report
indicated that the second floor windows could be treated with a laminated glass if the wall was there.
Mr. Musser commented on the buildings,stating that the architecture is contemporary ratherthan a Craftsman
style. Mr. Musser stated that he has no issue in making adjustments to the design of the project.
Chairperson Macdonald commented on the landscaping and potential noise severity in the garage aisles. He
stated that Commissioner Miller's comments in using some of the width between the two structures with
additional landscaping,would help cut down the noise. Mr.Musser responded that the planters could intrude to
the point of reducing the drive aisles widths.
Commissioner Cook concurred with Commissioner Millers comments.
Commissioner Miller commented on the architecture, stating that he would like to see a specific type of style.
Commissioner Cook had questions regarding the steel tube and/or wrought iron fencing,asking if the fencing
would be decorative or solid steel tube. Mr. Musser stated that the fencing would be tube steel with spaced
pickets.

Commissioner Macdonald asked Mr. Musser if he had the information he needed to make the recommended,
suggested, requested changes from the commission. Mr. Musser stated he had a list of notes that were taken
but did not know if he has a definitive list.
Commissioner Macdonald asked how much time Mr. Musser needed to revise the plans. Mr.Shaw stated that
staff would need to have revised plans within a few of weeks prior to the next hearing in order to review the
modifications and prepare a staff report. If modifications could be completed in two weeks,the project could
come back for the second meeting in July,otherwise, it should be continued to the first meeting in August. Mr.
Musser stated that he presumed that his client would prefer the second meeting in July.
Assistant Director John Jaquess stated that staff would appreciate it if Commissioner Miller would share his
notes relative to the modifications and would be glad to share them with the applicant to ensure they are
communicated accurately.
Commissioner Macdonald closed the public hearing.

Assistant Director John Jaquess gave a brief overview of the Planning Commissions duties to review capital
improvement projects in the City for consistency with the General Plan. Mr.Jaquess stated that the dog park is
consistent and within the General Plan boundaries. He recommended that the commission determine that the
project is consistent with the General Plan.
Public Works Director Ron Mutter gave an overview of the proposed dog park stating that they have been
working closely with the Redlands Rotary Club and that the Ford Park site was chosen since it had the access,
the room,and available space. He stated that the final concept plan was presented to the Parks Commission
on June 8t", who gave a unanimous recommendation to the City Council to proceed with the park.
Commissioner Foster asked Mr. Mutter where the dog park would be located in Ford Park. Mr. Mutter stated
that it was in the northerly field, behind and adjacent to the fire demonstration garden. Commissioner Foster
commented that families and groups use that area for activities and events and had concerns in possibly taking
away from that use.
Mr. Mutter stated that the dog park would take a quarter of one of the two large areas in Ford Park and there
would still be a large, open area available for families.
Elizabeth Kulbin, Rotary Club representative, addressed additional parking, the small and large dog areas,
security gates and rules for the dog park.
Commissioner Osborne asked about maintenance of the dog park. Ms.Kulbin addressed maintenance issues
stating that ongoing improvements would be addressed through a dog park user's group.
