(Steve R.) Review of revised elevations.
Committee Action:
The Cormnittee (Tolstoy, Vallette,
Coleman) recommended approval of the
project subject to staff's review and
approval during the plan check
process:
Stucco should be applied over all
wood surrounds on the zero lot
line elevation to minimize
maintenance. Painted trim may be
used around corner windows where
appropriate to maintain a
continuity of design.
A bay window or similar
projection should be provided on
the zero lot line elevation of
Plan 303 for center plotted
units.
A more significant band of
moulding should be provided on
the zero lot line side.
The wainscot wrapping around to
the zero lot line side elevation
should extend to the wall or
terminate at a logical place.
Note: The Committee approved the
louver board shutter detail.

Review of wall cap detail.
Committee Action:
The Committee (Tolstoy, Vallette,
Coleman) did not approve either of the
two alternatives presented and
directed the applicant to increase the
width of the columns to 2 feet to be
more in proportion with the scale Of
the wall and to increase the height of
the column so that the cap does not
have the appearance ~f just sitting on
top of the wall- The 1-inch reveal
width was acceptable in this instance.

request to establish an unmanned telephone Switching equipment building
totaling 620 square feet on 0.75 acres of land in the Very Low

Design Parameters:
The project area for Tentative Parcel Map 14190 currently contains one
residence that is proposed for demolition, the remainder of the area
contains a citrus grove bounded by Eucalyptus windrows.
The project site is located on Parcel 4 of a proposed Tentative Parcel
Map 14190. The three remaining parcels will be developed with single
family residences; therefore, staff directed the applicant to design the
project to have a residential "feel" to help the site blend in with the
surrounding neighborhood. The project site is bounded to the south by a
Con~nunity Trail and to the east by a Local Equestrian Trail.
Staff Comments:
The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee
discussion.
Major Issues:
The following broad design issues
discussion regarding this project:
will be the focus of Committee
The building orientation and project driveway should relate to
Street "A". This would avoid the necessity of crossing the
Community Trail to access the site. This would also help "tie" the
structure into the neighborhood fabric on this cul-de-sac street.
The building should be designed to reflect historical architectural
elements found in the community. Due to the projects proximity to
the Showalter Rock Pile and the stone residential structures at the
southwest corner of Hillside and Hermosa, it is recommended the
building be designed to include a stone element as the primary
architectural material. Staff has photographs of a similar GTE
facility in Claremont that was entirely constructed of rock to
emalate pump houses common to the area.
Secondary Issues:
Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting,
the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues:

Page 2
The perimeter slump block wall and access gate should be redesigned
to tie into the building and accentuate its design through the use
of similar materials and architectural elements (i.e., pilasters,
cap).
The Landscape Plan should be revised to include a variety of
evergreen and deciduous trees along both the project street
frontage and the north and east property lines on the interior of
the project site.
3. Provide tree and shrub plantings adjacent to the building.
Desi~ Review Ce-~ttee Action:
Members Present: Peter Tolstoy, Wendy Vallette, Dan Coleman
Staff Planner: Tom Grahn
The Committee reviewed the project but did not recommend approval due to
the following:
Access to the site should be provided from Street "A." The
driveway should be located as far south as possible to minimize
impacts to adjacent residential properties.
2. The building design should be revised to provide native stone as
the primary architectural element, reflective of stone houses in
the vicinity.
The roof material should be tile. Suggested tile types are either
barrel or S-tile, reflective of stone houses in the vicinity.
5.
6.
7.
The perimeter wall should be designed to intersect and tie into the
building.
The design Of the perimeter wall should include a stucco finish,
decorative cap, and stone pilasters-
The project development package should include building designs for
any planned expansion of the facility.
Landscaping should be redesigned to reflect
Xeriscape Ordinance. Additionally, the use
groundcover element is encouraged.
