(MEMO 6/18/84 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- 3. Public Hearing - Appeal from the denial by the Planning Commission of application for Planned Development Permit to construct 19 dwellings on 10.602 acre parcel 4155 Jefferson Avenue - Emerald Highlands, Omni Resources Corporation, appellant (203 -10) Planning Commission record transmitted 5/29/84 Final Environmental Impact Report October 1983 Affidavits of Publication of Notice of Hearing and of Mailing on file. Planning Director Schroeter presented the Appeal, stating that the appellant filed a preliminary Planned Development Permit (PDP) Application for a development whose entrance would be in Woodside and that the Planning Commission had unanimously denied it as presented. In response to questions, Mr. Schroeter described the steep site and said that cluster development with fewer units, leaving the steepest parts of the site undeveloped had been suggested to the developer. Mayor Britschgi declared the Public Hearing open at 8:29 p.m. Bob Radcliffe, 390 South San Antonio Road, Los Altos, one of the property owners, said he believes the property could accommodate 21 units, but he is not opposed to reducing the number of units requested in the application. Mr. Radcliffe said his design was not specific, but merely intended to indicate how units might be accommodated, noting that the top of the hill is flat and houses could be built there. David Takamoto, 80 South Market Street, San Jose, architect representing the property owners, stated that he had commenced with 23 units and reduced the numbers to 19 in order to solve problems presented by the steepness of the site. Mr. Takamoto said that a Planned Unit Development (PUD) was desired so that the houses could be placed in the best locations rather than on "cookie cutter" lots. Ruth Ledbetter, 722 Southview Way, Woodside, neighbor of the property, said that she opposes the development because of her concern about the traffic situation at that part of Jefferson.
