Approved September 18, 2025 Page 2 Committee Discussion • A Committee Member asked what the grading timeline is. • A Committee Member asked how the Level 2 risk assessment for retained trees would be implemented, monitored, and when it would be required. Staff explained that during construction, an arborist must be onsite whenever work occurs near the protected tree drip lines. Standard measures such as tree protection fencing and signage would also be required prior to issuance of building permits. The applicant noted that the vast majority of the trees will be preserved. • A Committee Member asked how the requirement to maintain garages for parking, rather than storage, would be enforced. Staff responded that if a complaint arises, staff will inspect the garage to ensure the condition is being met. • A Committee Member asked if there is an intent to form a HOA. Staff responded that they believe there is not; applicant confirmed. • A Committee Member asked if there are any soil issues. Staff responded that reports did not identify any. The applicant noted that the soil is of high quality, drains well, and will have minimal impact on the roadways. • A Committee Member asked where overflow parking for events or holidays would be managed if the 23 spaces are full. Staff responded that any available public parking could be utilized. • A Committee Member asked for clarification on parking, noting that the 23 spaces shown on the plan appear to be one more than required. Staff confirmed that 22 spaces are required and that the project proposes 23 spaces. Applicant noted that each ADU will have a garage unit.
