Oakmont Avenue Meyer & Associates • Improvements for a public park to include new activity building, snack bar, restrooms, and picnic shelters. R-1 (Residential -Single Family District) The project was presented by Jess Garcia, Community Services staff. and Randy Meyer, Landscape Architect. This item was continued from July 9 and September 3, 1997 for submittal of a landscape plan. The intent is not to have an elaborate new landscape design for the entire park site, but rather to just replace and supplement the existing planting materials that are damaged. Turf has been selected as a ground cover for visibility purposes, and the bees are selected for their compatibility with the existing ones in flee park. Mr. McCormack noticed that there is not enough shade flees in the existing parking lot area. A suggestion was made that additional trees be provided in the parking lot area at a ratio of one tree per eight stalls, spaced 36 ft. apart maximum (same standards used for new commercial projects), and that wheel stops be provided. This translates to a total of I7 trees reciuired for the existing 136 parking stalls. Mr. Meyer replied that the City's approved budget only provides for a slurry seal of the existing asphalt pavement, and re-striping of parking spaces. The addition of trees in the parking lot are not within the scope of the project. MOTION by Steve Prothero to reconunend to fl1e Community Services Department the following: 1. Provide linear root barriers in the planter area rather than just around an individual tree. 2. Suggest planting six (6) additional trees and replacing the existing damaged trees in the parking lot area.

The DRB stated that the overall project is well designed given the numerous site constraints. The project is of high quality that mitigates the effects of the proposed higher density.

MOTION by Steve Prothero to recommend approval of the project to the Planing Commission subject to the following conditions: 1.

The proposal is to remove an existing non-conforming patio cover addition and replace with a new bathroom and laundry room. The DRB raised concerns with how the new roof will integrate with the existing house. The existing hip roof has multiple angles and roof pitches that makes it rather complicated and difficult to attain an accurate roof framing plan. More study is needed to accurately illustrate how the new roof will tie in with the existing house. MOTION by Steve Prothero to continue review of the project.
