The property is located in a residential, 5-10 dwellings per gross acre district and consists of 1.1 gross acres, resulting in a density of 9 units per acre (the upper end of the density range allowed by the General Plan.) Exhibits were presented. Mr. Piasecki stated that the applicant addressed both issues noted above and submitted a revised sketch. The Tentative Map and Use Permit Application is continued to the Meeting of September 22, 1986. Questions from Can. Claudy and Mackenzie regarding area, density of adjacent projects and zoning of the area were answered. The Applicant was asked to respond to the question of Can.

Kinst, Applicant, stated that this is the second project the Kinst Company has developed in Cupertino; the purpose of the project was to provide affordable housing. In retopu se to questions raised, , the Applicant stated that the Redwood and the Walnut tree would have been removed in the original plans; however, with the traffic circulation pattern suggested by Staff, in essence, every tree on the site will be saved. With regard to privacy impact, plans include shuttered windows which will prevent invasion of privacy; other areas are protected from loss of privacy by the distance between units or natural vegetation. The project has been reviewed by the Central Fire District; a fire hydrant will be added as requested. Mr. Kinst stated described the pattern surface which will be used on the wall facing Foothill Boulevard. The acoustical analysis suggested by Staff was completed by the Applicant; an 8 ft. high wall will be installed and landscaping will be used to lessen the visual impact thereof. In response to Cam Adams' question, the applicant stated that wooden fencing will be used on the the southern lot line which abuts vial development. He noted that there is a structure between the parking lot for the cammnercial center and the property in question, which will act as a barrier to the proposed development. Mr. Piasecki confirmed that a sound wall is required separating camnercial and residential; this is to be installed by the commercial developer and this requirement will be enacted upon redevelopment of the commercial center.
