Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
before
we
do
the
pledge
of
allegiance
just
real
quickly,
as
you
can
see
we're
trying
to
honor
everything
going
on
right
now
with
regard
to
the
virus,
I
think
actually,
looking
back,
we've
had
three
meetings
this
year,
one
was
the
kobe
bryant
helicopter
crash
and
now
we're
dealing
with
this.
It's
an
eventful
time,
but
you'll
see
that
we
are
maintaining
our
distance
from
each
other.
We'd.
Ask
that
those
in
the
audience
do
as
well
also
indicate
that
the
podium
and
the
microphone
have
all
been
washed
down.
A
Please,
if
you
do
come
to
the
podium,
do
not
touch
the
mic,
try
not
to
touch
anything
except
the
stuff
you
brought.
If
you
do,
please
do
not
touch
your
face
and
please
go
try
to
wash
your
hands
as
soon
as
you're
done
and
we'll
all
try
to
make
sure
that
we
stay
as
safe
as
we
can
with
that.
Let's
stand
for
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
A
I
I
go
by
anything:
it's
okay!
I
think
mr
parker
is
not
with
us
tonight,
so
I
guess
I
don't
know
if
I'm
asking
mr
kearns
with
regard
to
any
written
comments,
announcements
or
supplemental
packets.

to
the
site
and
number
three
associated
grading
activities,
hardscape
and
landscape,
located
at
21
le
cam
road.
The
applicant
is
rameen
and
kodadi.
F
The
project
is
before
the
planning
commission
here
tonight,
because
associated
proposed
scope
of
work
includes
grading
into
slopes
over
25
percent.
F
Since
the
planet,
commission
is
reviewing
the
project
for
development
on
steep
slopes,
all
other
associated
applications
for
the
proposed
project
will
be
for
consideration
for
the
planning
commission.
This
includes
the
oak
tree.
Permit
landmark
tree
permit
underground
utility
waiver
and
the
ppd
for
the
construction
of
the
single
family
residents.
F
Here
is
the
vicinity
map
of
the
subject
site.
It
is
located
within
the
western
portion
of
the
city
within
a
newbury
park
area.
The
proposed
residence
will
be
located
approximately
1
600
feet
south
of
lynn
road,
as
demonstrated
here
with
regards
to
the
project
site
itself,
the
proposed
project.
Subject:
property
is
2.65
acres
in
area.
It
is
zoned
rural
exclusive
to
acre
minimum
lot
size
which
allows
for
the
construction
of
a
single-family
residence.
F
The
site
is
characterized
predominantly
by
steep
sloping,
terrain
and
natural
hillsides.
The
subject
property
is
consists
of
89
of
steep
slopes
over
25
percent.
The
majority
of
the
property
contains
contain
steep
slopes,
the
property
supports
41,
oak
trees
and
four
black
walnut
trees,
and
there
is
a
drainage
course
that
runs
parallel
to
lacam
road
within
the
northeastern
portion
of
the
property.
F
The
area
here
in
red
demonstrates
the
location
of
the
subject.
Property
along
the
camp
road
here
is
an
aerial
photograph
that
demonstrates
the
lay
of
the
land
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
the
size,
topography
along
the
eastern
portion
of
the
site.
You
have
lacam
road
and
then
the
property
descends
by
the
drainage
course,
and
then
it
has
a
steep
slope
ascending
towards
the
area
where
the
proposed
building
pad
will
be
for
the
residents.
F
F
With
regards
to
the
project
details,
staff
does
want
to
clarify
one
thing
that
wasn't
appropriately
indicated
on
the
staff
report:
the
main
residence
itself
outside
of
the
well.
It
consists
only
of
the
main
habitable
areas:
it's
5099
square
feet,
3
662
square
feet
for
the
first
floor,
1
437
square
feet
for
the
second
floor.
However,
there
is
a
500
square
foot
garage
attached
to
the
house
and
there
is
also
a
708
square
foot
recreation
room.
F
All
the
total
building
area,
then,
is
6
307
square
feet
for
the
entire
structure
associated
development
for
the
single-family.
Residence
includes
grading,
hardscape,
landscape,
retaining
walls,
a
drainage
culvert
for
driveway
access
and
new
utilities
for
the
residents,
and
as
previously
mentioned,
there
will
be
some
encroachments
into
oak
trees,
specifically
eight
oak
trees
and
two
walnut
trees.
That
will
be
encroached
upon
as
a
result
of
the
proposed
development.
F
Here's
the
site
plan
of
the
proposed
project.
You
have
lacam
road
on
the
eastern
portion
of
the
property
in
the
green.
Here
you
have.
The
driveway
access
with
proposed
drainage,
culvert
below
the
blue
dash
line
demonstrates
the
drainage
course
that's
existing
along
the
cam
road.
Beyond
that
you
have
the
meandering
driveway
access,
that's
in
yellow
that
leads
towards
the
fire
department
turn
around.
From
that
point
on
towards
the
west
of
the
of
the
property,
you
have
the
proposed
residence
there.
F
A
A
F
Sorry
about
that
delay,
just
the
latest
iteration
of
the
powerpoint
wasn't
on
there,
but
anyways
we'll
continue
on
here's
the
photograph,
the
subject
property
from
the
on
the
left-hand
side.
You
see
it's
from
lacam
road
towards
the
southwestern
portion
of
the
property.
You
have
the
drainage
course
there
and
to
the
southwest.
You
have
where
the
proposed
residents
will
be
located
immediately
to
the
north
of
the
proposed
residence.
F
Here's
a
an
exhibit
demonstrating
the
existing
drainage
along
the
cam
road.
The
exhibit
on
the
left-hand
side
demonstrates
the
in
the
blue
arrows
an
access
road
for
the
property
to
the
north.
As
you
go
down
this
access
road
from
lakam
road,
you
have
an
existing
drainage
culvert
with
a
drainage
device.
That's
demonstrated
here
on
the
right
hand,
side
on
this
exhibit.
F
This
is
important,
because
the
proposed
residence
on
21,
like
cam
road,
would
be
designing
a
driveway
access
road
with
the
drainage
culvert
below
similar
to
this,
however,
because
the
topography
ascends
from
this
area
over
to
mr
cotaddy's
property
you're
going
to
have
a
slightly
elevated
driveway
access
with
a
drainage
culvert
below
that.
But
this
is
this
is
to
give
you
an
understanding
of
the
similar
design
for
the
proposed
residents
for
mr
cote
dottie.
F
With
regards
to
the
encroachments
into
slopes
over
25
percent,
89
percent
of
the
total
site
area
is
characterized
by
slopes
over
25
percent,
which
is
the
majority
of
the
property.
F
52
of
the
total
property
will
be
disturbed
for
the
proposed
residents
of
that
52
of
that
area
to
be
disturbed,
91
is
characterized
by
slopes
over
25
percent
the
map
area,
the
map
on
the
right
hand,
side
here
this
exhibit
demonstrates
in
green
those
areas
that
are
below
25
gradient,
which
again
it's
it's
primarily
where
the
oak
trees
exist
and
where
you
won't,
where
the
proposed
residents
won't
be
located
with
regards
to
natural
open
space,
since
52
percent
of
the
site
will
be
disturbed
for
the
proposed
residents,
48
of
the
site
will
remain
in
a
natural
condition.
F
F
Here's
a
exhibit
of
the
grading
proposed
on
the
subject
property.
The
area
in
red
demonstrates
the
cut
that's
going
to
go
into
the
hillside
when
they,
when
the
applicant
and
their
engineering
team,
do
the
cut
for
the
proposed
pad
that
earth
that
soil
has
to
go
elsewhere
on
the
property
for
recompaction.
F
F
Here's
the
floor
plan
of
the
second
floor.
Here's
a
way
to
illustrate
the
total
area
of
the
second
floor
in
comparison
to
the
first
floor
area.
The
first
floor
totals
approximately
40
percent
of
the
first
floor
area.
This
is
a
design
mechanism
to
reduce
the
massing
of
the
proposed
building.
So
you
don't
have
a
box
that's
sitting
on
the
hillside
area
there
it's
a
way
to
reduce
the
massing
of
the
second
floor,
to
break
up
the
building
and
provide
for
more
articulation
and
reduce
visual
impacts
from
surrounding
properties
and
adjacent
properties.
F
With
regards
to
the
protected
trees,
as
previously
mentioned,
the
site
supports
41
coastline
oak
trees
of
those
41
trees.
Eight
oak
trees
will
be
impacted
by
the
proposed
development.
F
With
regards
to
the
undergrounding
of
utilities
and
the
waiver,
the
municipal
code
requires
that
the
any
dev
proposed
development,
the
applicant
to
underground
utilities,
on
the
near
the
subject
property
because
of
the
site's
topography
and
the
constraints
on
the
property.
It's
a
cost,
prohibitive
issue
for
the
applicant
and
there
there
are
other
waivers
that
have
been
granted
for
custom
homes
similar
to
this
one.
F
This
map,
here
the
exhibit
on
the
right
hand,
side,
demonstrates
the
existing
power
pole.
That's
along
the
cam
road.
You
have
multiple
power
poles
existing
along
the
cam
road.
The
blue
dash
line
indicates
the
extension
of
existing
overhead
lines
that
will
go
fro
that
are
already
existing
there
from
le
cam
road
to
the
power
pool.
That's
immediately
adjacent
to
the
proposed
house,
that's
existing
on
to
the
north
from
there
they
would
go
underground
to
the
proposed
residence.
F
F
With
regards
to
the
weed
abatement
and
offside
brush
clearance
in
order
to
meet
ventura
county
fire
department
requirements,
the
proposed
residents
would
have
to
clear
100
feet
of
brush
from
the
proposed
structure,
because
the
the
residence
is
located
closer
to
the
western
property
line.
There
will
be
some
offside
weed
abatement.
F
With
regards
to
the
elevation,
because
this
is
a
hillside
project
and
with
steep
topography,
the
applicant
has
designed
the
residents
in
a
manner
that
would
reduce
and
minimize
visual
impacts
to
surrounding
and
adjacent
properties
how
they
achieved.
This
was
by
providing
for
roof
line
variation,
a
pitch
roof
that
would
transition
easily
to
the
sloping
ascending.
F
With
regards
to
the
project's
compatibility
with
surrounding
properties,
here's
a
table
indicating
the
size
of
the
homes
along
the
cam
road
staff
went
ahead
and
evaluated
the
surrounding
properties
to
see
the
total
size
of
homes
in
the
surrounding
area.
We
took
lacam
road
and
you
get
properties
or
single-family
residences,
one
or
two
stories
from
as
as
low
as
1883
square
feet
to
as
high
as
5029
square
feet.
This
information
was
obtained
from
ventura
county
assessors,
which
includes
the
habitable
area
for
the
residents
and
also
the
attached
or
detached
garage.
F
With
regards
to
the
landscaping,
this
is
a
conceptual
landscape
plan
that
has
been
provided
by
the
applicant,
because
there
are
manufactured
slopes
associated
with
this
proposed
project.
The
applicant
will
be
required
to
put
to
implement
ground
cover,
brush
and
also
tree
clusters
in
order
to
minimize
visual
impacts
from
the
manufacturer's
slopes.
F
The
applicant
is
also
considering
providing
additional
landscaping
additional
trees
in
the
area
between
the
existing
residents
to
the
north
and
the
proposed
residents
in
order
to
create
a
more
or
a
minimized
impact
on
visibility
and
creating
a
buffer
there.
The
applicant
can
propose
including
pepper
trees
or
any
other
kind
of
trees
that
they
would
like,
as
long
as
they
meet
the
city's
requirements
for
water,
fish
and
landscaping.
F
With
regards
to
sequa,
the
project
is
considered
exempt
from
the
secret
from
sql
review,
15303,
a
and
e
for
new
construction,
in
that
it's
a
single
family
residence.
That's
on
residentially,
zoned
property
that
allows
for
associated
accessory
development
staff
has
verified
that
none
of
this,
the
six
exceptions
apply
to
this
category
exemption.
So
staff
is
moving
forward
with
the
category
exception
for
environmental
review.
F
With
that
being
said,
the
project
has
been
reviewed
for
compliance
for
development
on
property
over
with
terrain
over
25
percent
staff,
recommends
approval
of
and
supports
this
proposed
design
in
that
the
applicant
has
designed
this
proposed
residence
and
development
on
the
subject
area,
limiting
the
amount
of
development
on
25
percent
or
super
terrain,
the
location
of
the
proposed
residence
minimizes
impacts
to
landform
alterations,
the
design,
minimizes,
visual
impacts
to
adjacent
and
surrounding
properties
because
of
the
design,
the
massing
and
the
scale
of
the
building
has
been
reduced.
F
In
order
to
minimize
those
impacts,
the
design
meets
the
residential
development
standards
with
regards
to
setbacks,
yards
height,
etc,
and
the
proposed
project,
the
impacts
of
the
oak
and
landmark
trees
will
not
have
detrimental
effect
on
the
trees.
As
designed,
staff
would
like
to
mention
that
that
we
did
receive
correspondence
from
the
adjacent
property
owner
to
the
north.
The
adjacent
property
owner
did
indicate
that
they
had
an
issue
or
concerns
with
the
location
of
the
proposed
building.
F
As
designed,
they
would
like
the
building
to
be
relocated
on
the
subject's
site
closer
to
lacan
road
because
of
their
view,
impacts.
Apparently,
staff
did
indicate
that
the
applicant
has
designed
the
project
in
a
way
that
minimizes
impacts
to
adjacent
properties,
because
placing
the
building
further
to
the
west
on
the
property
will
be
screened
by
the
mature
landscaping.
That's
existing
and
be
less
visible
from
the
cam
road.
F
The
applicant
also
brought
up
comments
regarding
the
project
site's
visibility
from
lynn
road,
which
he
considered
a
scenic.
Well,
he
mentioned
that
was
a
scenic
road.
Looking
at
the
scenic
highways
element
of
the
general
plan,
the
lynn
road
is
a
scenic
road.
However,
the
scenic
road
ends
at
kelly.
Road
at
lacam
road,
so
further
to
the
east,
is
where
the
scenic
road
is
additionally
to
that
the
property.
The
proposed
residence
is
approximately
1
600
feet
to
the
south
of
lynn
road.
F
So
there
is
no
visibility
based
on
staff,
site
assessment
and
site
visit
with
regards
to
landscape
the
applica.
The
adjacent
property
owner
also
mentioned
issues
with
landscaping,
they'd
like
to
see
more
landscaping
between
the
proposed
residents
and
their
residents,
and,
as
previously
mentioned,
the
applicant
is
willing
to
provide
for
more
trees
in
that
area,
given
that
there
are
some
manufactured
slopes
in
in
the
area
between
the
proposed
residents
and
the
existing
residents.
F
And
finally,
the
the
adjacent
property
owner
mentioned
a
request
for
a
wall
between
the
two
properties.
However,
staff
didn't
mention
that
there
are
several
oak
trees
on
the
property
line
and
if
they
did
propose
a
new
wall
in
that
area
that
there
will
be
encroachments
and
impacts
into
those
oak
trees
that
haven't
been
assessed
and
the
applicant
is
not
required
to
propose
a
wall
along
the
north
property
line
between
the
two
properties.
A
F
That
is
correct.
We
provided
for
that
to
the
planning
commissioners
via
email.
All
those
items
have
been
addressed.
A
F
Yeah,
the
first
supplemental
package
you
got
is
the
letter
of
support
from
the
property
owner
to
the
west,
immediately
adjacent
to
the
west
of
the
proposed
project.
Mr
moshiri,
I
believe,
and.
D
You
mentioned
at
the
outset
that
we
are
here
tonight
because,
because
of
the
fact
that
there
is
grading
of
more
greater
than
25
percent
slope
involved,
therefore,
all
the
issues
fall
under
planning
commission
review.
My
question
is:
would
we
be
here
if
the
grading
were
not
an
issue,
we're
also
looking
at
encroachments
at
undergrounding,.
F
Yes,
so
the
project
would
be
before
the
planning
commission
also,
if
only
encroachments
into
oak
trees
were
to
occur.
Let's
say
the
property
did
not
have
slopes
over
25
percent.
I
say
it
was
average
slope
of
20
and
the
encroachment
to
oak
trees
of
a
certain
size
that
couldn't
be
exempt
from
a
permit.
It
would
be
before
the
planning
commission
tonight.
D
C
I
just
I
I
could
just
clarify
that
comment.
The
only
item
that's
triggered
in
planning
commission
review
is
the
25
natural
soaping
terrain
encroachment
the
tree
encroachments.
You
can
process,
so
we
can
process
administratively
an
indefinite
number
of
tree
encouragements,
it's
only
when
you
remove
more
than
three
oak
trees
or
landmark
trees
or
one
tree.
C
D
The
staff
report
with
regard
to
the
grading
indicates
that
a
retaining
wall
will
be
built
to
hold
the
remaining
soil
in
place.
D
D
Okay,
thank
you
in
your
report.
You
also
mentioned
that
a
major
I'll
ask
this
of
the
applicant
as
well,
but
but
you
mentioned
that
a
major
modification
permit
would
be
needed
for
any
additional
grading.
Why
would
there
need
to
be
any
additional
grading
on
the
site?
After
all,
the
grading
that's
being
done
here.
D
My
next
question
has
to
do
with
the
the
tree
encroachments,
the
applicant
provided
a
tree,
consultant's
report.
I
think
I
think
you've
already
answered
this
in
your
conclusion
slide.
I
I
was
wondering
if,
if
there's
any
impact
from
any
of
the
encroachments
on
the
survivability
or
the
health
of
the
trees,
I
think
I
think
you
answered
that
in
a
negative.
Is
that
correct.
F
F
The
majority
of
these
landmark
and
oak
trees
are
located
within
those
areas,
and
staff
obtained
information
from
the
applicant's
tree
consultant
demonstrated
the
limits
of
the
protected
zone
of
those
trees,
and
then
we
provided
that
information
over
to
the
city's
oak
tree
consultant
and
to
verify
that,
in
fact,
the
proposed
driveway
and
the
associated
grading
wouldn't
be
detrimental
to
the
effect.
Sorry,
it
wouldn't
be
detrimental
to
the
life
of
the
oak
trees
that
are
existing
in
the
on
the
project
site.
D
Okay,
great
and
then
my
final
question
has
to
do
with
that
consultant's
report,
and
you
mentioned
the
word
iterations
they're
at
the
very
end
of
attachment
six.
There
are
two
different
letters
from
the
consultant,
one
dated
from
october,
one
from
february
with
different
numbers
of
trees
discussed
and
the
most
recent,
the
most
recent
iteration.
This
is
page
85
of
attachment,
6.
D
D
How
we
can
reconcile
the
content
of
this
letter
with
the
content
of
the
staff
report?
The
number
of
trees
is
different.
This
this
this
letter
discusses
nine
oak
trees,
not
eight
and
there's
no
discussion
of
black
walnut
trees,
and
this
and
the
staff
report
is
talking
about
eight
oak
trees
and
two
black
walnuts.
So
where
are
we
at
with
this,
which,
which
is
correct.
F
F
The
reason
why
you
see
two
walnut
trees
added
on
here
is
that
staff
took
a
conservative
approach
on
the
project
and
identified
the
retaining
walls
within
close
proximity
of
the
walnut
trees.
So
we
went
ahead
and
made
sure
that
we
applied
the
landmark
tree
permit
for
the
proposed
project.
The
the
city
street
consultant
then
concurred
with
that
assessment,
and
that
is
why
we
asked
the
applicant's
consultant
to
update
the
letter
and
include
the
total
number
of
trees
to
be
encroached
upon.
D
Okay,
well,
two:
two
follow-up
questions
on
that
point.
I
get
that
the
black
walnut
trees
were
added,
and
that's
that's
good
and
diligent.
D
Scoping
of
the
property
question
is
what
percentage
of
the
protected
zones
of
those
trees
would
be
of
the
black
walnut
trees
would
be
encouraged
upon.
C
If
I
could
just
jump
in
here,
we
could
have
the
oak
tree
or
the
tree
consultant,
add
the
work,
methods
and
monitoring
program
for
those
trees
as
indented
to
the
report
after
this
meeting.
If
we
choose
to
go
forward
with
this
project,
the
again
an
indefinite
number
of
trees
can
be
authorized,
encroachment
can
be
authorized
by
staff.
C
C
D
D
Okay,
so
mr
contreras,
then
I
think
mr
kearns
has
answered
my
question
with
regard
to
the
walnut
trees.
Now,
let's
come
back
to
the
oak
trees
for
for
a
moment,
the
more
recent
letter
from
the
applicant
consultant
identifies
nine
oak
trees
and
the
staff
report
is
talking
about
eight,
so
how
many
trees,
how
many
oak
trees
are
being
encouraged
here.
F
F
F
Because
I
think
the
applicant's
consultant
identified
nine
trees
thinking
that
the
nine
tree
would
be
encroached
upon,
but
then,
as
I
reviewed
this
with
our
city
street
consultant,
I
went
ahead
and
talked
to
the
consultant
then
verified
that
only
eight
trees
will
be
encroached
upon
as
a
result
of
the
proposed
development.
Okay,.
D
H
Yes,
thank
you
chair.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
One
question
I
had
was
regarding
the
hoa.
Is
there
a
hoa
in
this
community.
F
H
F
Not
at
this
time,
according
to
the
addendum
to
the
bioassessment,
the
applicant's
biologists
identified
that
as
an
existing
drainage
course,
that's
already
improved,
as
I
demonstrated
in
those
photographs
previously
immediately
to
the
to
the
north,
you
have
existing
drainage
devices
and
a
drainage
covert.
This
is
no
different
than
that,
and
that
is
why
it
did
not
trigger
army
corps
of
engineers
to
review
the
project,
because
it's
classified
as
a
existing
drainage
course.
According
to
the
bio
assessment.
H
Great
and
then
lastly,
there
was
a
discussion
about
the
number
of
truck
trips
equivalent
to
about
300
truck
trips.
Were
those
trucks
going
to
be
staged
on
site
they'd
be
and
where
would
they
be
dumping?
The
the
soil.
F
Yeah
the
applicants
engineers
here
tonight
and
he
will
be
able
to
speak
on
the
construction
and
staging
management
plan
that
they
provided
to
staff.
It
is
staff's
understanding
that
they
will
be
staging
on
the
subject
property
that
they
are
looking
to
phase
their
construction
on
the
property,
which
would
include
construction
of
the
covert
with
driveway
access.
First
to
be
able
to
gain
access
to
the
remaining
portions
of
the
property
and
staff
did
work
with
public
works,
for
conditions
of
approval
associated
with
the
proposed
grading
and
construction
and
pre-construction
meetings
for
the
proposed
development.
I
F
That
is
correct,
since
that
drainage
course
just
runs
parallel
to
lacan
road.
The
applicant
is
proposing
that
that
covert
with
the
driveway
access
above
immediately
adjacent
to
lacam
road
in
alignment
with
the
existing
drainage
devices
and
culverts
that
are
immediately
to
the
north
of
the
subject,
property.
A
The
great
thing
about
being
chair
is
you
get
all
your
commissioners
to
ask
the
great
questions
and
I
get
left
with
a
few
fun
ones.
One
thing
I
noticed
was
that
it
was
an
indication
that,
at
some
point,
costco
is
going
to
have
a
trail
head
that
starts
near.
Is
it
near
the
driveway.
F
Yeah
there's
a
future
trail,
that's
supposed
to
be
located
along
the
frontage
of
the
property
down
the
cam
road
and
so
koska
requested
that
the
applicant
has
a
condition
of
approval,
provide
an
easement
for
the
future
trail
improvement
and
when
that
time
comes,
that
easement
will
be
secured,
so
that
costco
could
in
fact
improve
a
trail.
There.
F
A
Second
issue
was
the
power
pole
that
I
saw.
I
understand
the
the
waiver
argument.
Is
the
power
pole
going
to
need
any
kind
of
modification
improvement
to
to
handle
the
additional
capacity.
F
The
applicant
will
be
working
directly
with
southern
california
edison
on
any
improvements
for
the
proposed
poll.
I
know
the
applicant
went
ahead
and
started
coordinating
with
edison's
planners
on
the
location
of
the
underground
of
utilities.
Perhaps
the
applicant
has
more
information
and
more
detail
beyond
just
the
cost
of
undergrounding
that
they
will
be
able
to
clarify
for
you
tonight
what
they
are
required
to
do
for
the
connectivity
of
power
to
the
existing
pole.
A
F
That
is
correct.
The
rec
room
is
part
of
the
main
residence
it's
in
fact.
On
the
first
floor,
the
way
the
project
plans
demonstrate
the
habitable
areas,
it's
showing
that
it's
just
not
part
of
the
habitable
portions
of
the
residence,
but
it
is
on
the
first
floor
area
and
it
is
attached
to
the
structure.
There
are
no
detached
structures
proposed
at
this
project.
A
F
That
is
correct.
Nothing
different.
A
Okay,
any
other
questions
comments
from
commissioners.
I
think
we'll
hold
you
in
a
bands
and
have
come
back
to
you
at
this
point.
We're
going
to
have
the
applicant
come
up,
mr
kodatti
and
all
of
the
people
that
you
have
as
part
of
your
presentation.
You'll
have
15
minutes.
Please
come
to
the
podium
state,
your
name
city
of
residence,
for
the
record.
Please
and
again,
don't
touch
anything
if
you
can
avoid
it.
G
Hi,
my
name
is
rameen
kolodadi
and
I'm
the
applicant
and
I'm
a
resident
of
city
of
thousand
oaks,
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank,
as
the
chairman,
all
the
members
of
the
planning
commission,
city
planners
public
works
and
staff
and
my
engineers
and
my
team
for
being
here
at
such
a
difficult
time.
I
know
it
was
hard
to
come
and
attend
this
in
after
everything
we've
been
going
through.
G
So
on
behalf
of
me,
my
wife
and
kids-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
giving
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
build
our
family
home
in
thousand
oaks.
This
is
a
great
community.
I've
been
I'm
a
dentist.
I've
been
practicing
here
for
over
15
years,
and
I've
been
serving
volunteering
in
the
community
and
supporting
our
schools,
and
we
just
can't
wait
to
have
our
dream
home
here.
So
finally,
and
as
mr
contreras
mentioned,
you
know,
there
was
not
too
much
of
a
detail
about
the
original
design
of
the
house.
G
We
had
a
different
format,
different
design
and
they
were
back
to
the
oak
tree
questions.
There
were
eight
removals,
a
lot
of
impact
on
the
trees
from
the
original,
so
we
had
to
hire
a
great
new
engineer
to
redesign
the
whole
thing
and
the
whole
purpose
was
we
wanted
to
preserve
all
the
trees,
the
landmark
trees.
We
know
we
knew
we
had
some
black
walnuts
on
the
property,
and
you
know
me
and
my
my
wife
and
kids,
we
always
walk
the
property
is
really
really
nice.
G
G
G
One
thing
that
wasn't
mentioned
that
existing
device
and
the
drainage-
that's
there
is
actually
in
my
property,
because
the
property
to
my
north
has
an
easement
to
run
part
of
the
driveway
over
that
drainage
course
and
the
culvert,
so
that's
most
of
it
is
actually
located
already
in
my
property.
So
this
is
this
would
be
a
continuation
of
the
same
drainage
course,
and
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
other
questions.
I
forgot.
I
made
some
notes
any
questions
for
me.
G
No,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
and
save
approve.
We
accept
all
the
conditions
from
the
planning
commission.
We're
really
excited.
You
know
to
finally
have
our
dream
home,
like
I
said,
and
wanted
to
thank
everyone
for
being
here.
Such
a
situation
right
now,
and
you
know,
say
that
hopefully
can
stay
safe,
healthy
and
look
forward
to
a
brighter
future
healthy
for
all
of
us
all
right.
D
Yes,
thank
you,
dr
codadi,
for
your
application
and
for
bringing
your
family
tonight.
Okay,
just
a
couple
of
quick
questions,
one
one
has
to
do
with
the
costco
easement
that
will
be
granted.
I
I
realize
there's
there
is
a
boilerplate
language
in
the
application
that
says
that
requires
you
to
accept
all
the
conditions
of
the
application,
but
just
verbally,
if
you
could
say
that
that
you
you're
you're,
fine,
you're,
okay,.
G
With
the
absolutely
yes,
we
accept,
we
knew
about
the
trial
yeah
and
we
discussed
it
with
mr
contreras,
and
you
know
I
requested
a
copy
of
the
staff
report
about
a
week
ago
and
our
planners
were
nice
enough
to
give
me
a
report,
so
a
draft
report,
so
I
can
review
and
it
wasn't
there.
We
discussed
it
and
it
would
be
totally
fine.
Like
I
said,
our
whole
goal
was
to
preserve
the
natural
beauty
of
the
land.
So,
of
course
the
national
trail
is
part
of
it
and
hopefully
we'll
be
using
it.
D
Great,
I
hope
you
will
be
and
then
and
then
again
speaking
of
the
natural
beauty
of
the
land,
there
is
a
substantial
amount
of
rearranging
and
grading
and
and
export
of
phil
in
this
in
this
project.
D
Up
to
a
limit
I
mean
so
much
so
that
the
city
imposed
a
limit
and
further
required
a
major
modification
permit
for
anything
further.
That's
that's
a
good
safeguard,
but
but
to
avoid
us
coming
back
in
some
amount
of
time.
Let
me
ask
the
same
question.
I
asked
the
staff
which
is
in
the
near
future
or
the
near
to
mid-term.
G
Absolutely
not,
I
think
we
have
been
designing
this,
for
you
know
a
long
time
when
you
have
a
dream
house,
you
know
you,
you
design
this
just
the
way
you
want,
so
I
think
we
have
thought
it
through
and
we
have
everything
we
want
in
the
house
and
I
don't
see
anything,
that's
missing.
If
you
look
at
the
plans
for
the
house,
you
know
there's
space
for
everybody
and
we
have,
I
think,
plenty
of
room
and
even
have
extra
room
for
my
in-laws
in
the
future.
If
they
want
to
move
in
so
so
I
don't.
A
Thank
you,
commissioners.
Any
other
questions
I
just
had
a
quick
one
before
you
run
off
the
power
pole.
Yes,
is
what
kind
of
modifications,
if
any
of
you
believe
we're
going
to
be.
G
We
contacted
edison,
it's
really
difficult
right
now,
just
because
of
the
amount
of
construction
that's
been
going
on
in
the
past.
You
know
a
year
and
they've
been
very
busy,
but
I
think
that,
and
what
they
want
to
do
is
possibly
upgrade
the
transformer.
The
property
below
me
on
the
north
has
an
overhead
power
panel,
so
they're
using
that
transformer.
So
I
think
it
comes
down
to.
G
A
E
Oh
actually
yeah
just
a
couple
of
things
I
was
mentioning,
but
do
you
wanna
do
that
the
applicant
my
client
and.
E
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
sorry,
my
name
is
ken
kang
we're
the
architecture
representative
design
group
for
the
applicant,
mr
cody,
and
though
the
planner
and
applicant
gave
a
really
good
information
on
this.
So
I'm
not
going
to
cover
that.
But
the
only
thing
that
I
want
to
cover
is
that
the
client
is
actually
going
to
go
with
what
the
drawing
is.
E
I
know
that's
a
concern
too,
and
he
made
a
commitment
to
do
that,
also
because
of
the
where
it's
at
the
fire
zones
and
all
of
that
we're
making
even
the
exterior
materials
fire
resistant
materials,
and
so
it's
not
just
regular
materials
for
all
of
that,
also
and
and
the
location
when
we
designed
it.
He
did
take
a
lot
of
time.
E
We
considered
the
neighbors
the
site,
the
elevations,
the
buffering
and
stuff
like
that,
so
we
suggested
he's
willing
to
even
put
more
landscaping
vertical
gardens
if
you
have
to
and
stuff
like
that,
if
you
can't
put
trees
and
stuff
like
that,
and
that's
a
good
nice
way
to
create
a
little
garden,
space
have
a
buffer,
and
so
he
already
has
very
good
interesting
ways
to
complement
those
things
concerns
that
the
neighbors
and
you
guys
have-
and
that's
all
I
wanted
to
add.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
All.
A
A
Thank
you
thanks.
So
I'm
going
to
assume
that
mr
kang
and
mr
dos
do
not
need
to
provide
additional
comments
with
that.
We
will
then
go
to
public
comment
a
little
different
way
that
we're
gonna
do
it
tonight
for
anybody.
That's
here
that
isn't
the
one
card
I
have
here,
you
will
need
to
fill
out
a
speaker
card
if
you'd
like
to
say
anything
about
the
project
under
consideration.
A
We
have
this
one
speaker
card
for
the
moment
that
speaker
will
be
given
to
five
minutes
state.
Now
this
is
going
to
be
a
little
strange
in
that
the
speaker
is
actually
on
the
phone
so
and
he's
watching
on
tv.
So
please
speaker,
say
your
name
city
of
residence
and
then
you
will
have
five
minutes
to
provide
your
comments
and
then
hang
on
to
see
whether
or
not
there's
any
commissioners
that
have
questions
that
you
can
then
answer
as
part
of
their
process.
So,
mr
kearns,
can
you
pipe
them
in
on?
E
Hello,
I
am
the
owner
of
the
north
property
and
you
know
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
call
in
and
say
that
mr
contreras
actually
addressed
many
of
my
my
questions.
E
E
E
Like
my
roof,
you
know
I
could
see
even
just
from
the
101
grade
coming
down.
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
type
of
visual
impact
with
this
proposal-
and
that
really
was
was
my
only
questions
on
this.
A
Okay,
mr
stearns,
hold
on
a
second
and
see
if
there's
any
questions
from
the
commissioners.
Thank
you,
mr
stern.
There's,
no
questions.
We
will
follow
up
with
staff
with
regard
to
your
comments
and
thank
you
for
phoning
in.
F
In
response
to
the
adjacent
property
owner's
questions
the
if,
if
the
proposed
residence
was
located
any
closer
to
the
cam
road,
it
would
be
more
visible
from
surrounding
adjacent
properties.
Again.
The
reason
why
the
applicant
is
proposing
the
residents
along
the
western
portion
of
the
site
is
to
place
the
building
in
alignment
with
the
existing
development
pattern
in
lacam
road
provide
for
us
increase
setback
from
the
cam
road
and
be
screened
by
the
mature
landscaping.
F
That's
that's
along
the
property
line
there
between
the
two
properties,
also
to
limit
the
amount
of
grating
that
would
go
into
natural
sloping
terrain.
If
we
move
this
building
further
to
the
to
the
south
on
the
ascending
slope,
it
would
require
more
cut
more
grading
and
it
would
be
sitting
at
a
higher
elevation
on
the
slope
and
thus
more
visible
to
surrounding
properties.
F
Another
another
reason
why
staff
agreed
with
this
location
of
the
residents
is
because
that
area
there
is
was
previously
disturbed
by
fuel
modification
for
the
existing
residents.
So
again,
based
on
these
considerations,
staff
feels
that
this
is
the
appropriate
location
for
the
proposed
residence
and,
as
designed,
staff
supports
the
project.
F
A
At
this
point,
mr
kodady,
you
have
five
minutes
rebuttal.
If
you'd
like
you,
don't
have
to
say
anything
if
you
don't
want
to,
but
it's
your
opportunity
to
the
extent
you
want
to
add
anything
else
and
thanks
for
bringing
your
kids
and
letting
them
watch
the
process
in
action.
G
Have
a
quick
comment,
mr
stern
is
my
property
on
the
north
side
and
when
he
purchased
the
property
a
couple
of
years
ago,
I
took
the
time
to
go
and
meet
with
him
and
saw
him
and
his
kids,
and
I
just
wanted
to
address
any
issues
that
he
had.
And
yes,
this
issue
came
up
at
that
point
and
the
only
concern
he
had
was
he
wanted
to
make
sure
that
when
he
looks
up
you
know
he
can
minimally
see
the
new
residents.
G
So
we
do
have
a
lot
of
oak
trees
right
now
that
have
grown
over
the
years
between
his
house
and
the
proposed
property
proposed
building,
and
I
also
assured
him
that,
with
new
landscaping,
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
have
some
tall
hedges
to
visually
block
any
openings
between
those
trees
to
make
sure
that
you
know
he
will
have
a
complete
block
of
the
house.
That's
sitting
up
on
the
hill,
so
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
that
was
addressed,
and
I
did.
G
H
Yes,
thank
you
doctor
for
your
presentation
and
your
family
being
here
tonight.
I
I
do
agree
that
the
process
has
been
long
for
you.
I've
seen
the
timeline
presented
here,
and
I
appreciate
you
going
back
and
forth
with
redesigning
this
project
and
meeting
the
specifications
of
the
thousand
dollars
municipal
code.
I
think
it's
a
beautifully
designed
project
and
in
regards
to
the
conditions
that
are
set
forth
and
you
adhering
to
them.
H
H
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
appreciate
how
far
you've
gone
to
accommodate
the
staff's
request
to
accommodate
the
natural
beauty
of
the
land,
kaska
and
everything
that
you've
done
it
look.
It
sounds
like
you've
really
got,
got
the
right
attitude
about
where
you
put
the
house
and
how
you
how
you
do
it,
and
I
really
appreciate
that.
D
Yes,
I'll
support
this
measure.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
revising
the
plan
not
to
remove
any
of
the
landmark
trees.
You've
got
a
lot
of
them
protected
trees
on
your
property
and
I'm
satisfied
that
the
revision
greatly
minimizes
the
impact
of
on
on
the
protected
trees
you
have
on
the
property.
D
At
the
same
time,
I
also
want
to
thank
your
neighbor,
mr
stearns,
for
calling
in
under
difficult
circumstances.
I
appreciate
your
willingness
to
work
with
him.
I
appreciate
very
much
your
statement
that
landscaping
could
be
added
to,
in
your
words,
form
a
complete
block,
so
there
would
be
minimal
or
no
visual
impact
for
your
neighbor.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner,
newman.
Lastly,
for
me
I
would
say
that
the
the
great
thing
and
again,
I'm
gonna
praise
city
staff
shockingly
because
they
do
a
fantastic
job.
The
process
you
have
gone
through
to
get
everything
dealt
with
is
painstaking.
We
know
it's
tough,
but
they
make
it
tough
because
they
make
sure
that
all
the
rules
are
complied
with.
A
I
know
the
only
reason
you're
here
really
is
one
issue
that
ultimately
needed
our
review,
but,
as
you
can
see,
we
looked
at
everything
and
again
thank
you
staff
for
going
through
and
detailing
lots
of
issues,
and,
mr
stearns
again,
I
think
we
we
are
appreciative
of
your
concerns.
I
think
that's
why
the
staff
wrote
into
the
report
a
lot
of
discretion
in
terms
of
dealing
with
a
lot
of
issues.
Also
again,
the
concerns
with
regard
to
ridgelines
and
other
things
are
tough,
but
again
we
have
to
find
an
accommodation.
A
I
think
this
is
the
best
accommodation
we
can
find,
and
I
wish
you
the
best
with
your
your
beautiful
home
for
your
beautiful
family.
So
with
that,
let's
go
ahead
and
prepare
for
a
vote.
H
A
A
H
Yes,
we
had
the
pleasure
of
attending
the
planning
commission
conference
in
sacramento.
We
had
over
400
planning
commissioners,
I
believe
there
in
attendance.
All
across
california,
we
learned
about
the
new
state
legislation,
squawk
design,
guidelines,
affordable
housing
issues.
It
was
very
informative.
H
The
the
event
lasted
about
three
days
overall
and
look
forward
to
discussing
more
in
detail
with
the
rest
of
the
staff
of
what
I've
learned
from
the
from
the
trip.
A
Sounds
good,
commissioner
mcmahon
did
you
learn
anything
else.
I
A
A
thousand
oaks
you're
very
lucky
to
have
a
good
group
of
commissioners
that
take
the
time
to
go
to
these
conferences,
to
learn
new
things
going
on
and
care
about
the
city
and
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
all
we
can
to
make
thousands
the
best
it
can
be.
So
thanks
for
going
to
that
any
other
commissioner
comments
with
that,
we'll
go
to
the
staff
update
there,
any
follow-up
items,
announcements
or
upcoming
issues.
Mr
kearns.
C
There
are
no
announcements
this
evening,
the
next
jump
to
item
b.
The
next
planning
commission
meeting
is
scheduled
for
march
30th.
That
meeting
currently
has
no
items
slated
for
it
and
will
likely
be
cancelled,
so
that
would
make
april
6
the
next
panic
commission
meeting,
which
is
shaping
up
now.
