and concurred with the conditions of approval.
VC/Nelson closed the public hearing.
VC/Nelson asked if it would improve the service if the tower were 20 feet tall.
Mr. Austin responded generally yes because the higher the tower the better
the reception. However, these antennae have a very low signal and hand off
in a line -of -site and at the proposed height Trillium was able to reach its
objectives. Usually, towers need to be 40 to 60 feet from ground level. ,
C[Wei * asked if Mr. Austin's company contemplated putting a cell site on the
Water tower in "The Country Estates." Mr. Austin responded that cell site
location is driven by technology and by customer complaints. There could be
a need in the area as capacity grows. However, without knowing about the
water tank location and height it may not line up with one of Trillium's sites.

and additional enrollment for the proposed use is 24 children. DSA/Smith

Tige Licato stated that the school had been open in the City for seven years

104 students. The school has two-day, three-day and fulltime programs and
the student counts never exceed 104. The current elementary space has 24
elementary children and he believed that would also be the occupancy for
the new expansion.
Mr. Licato pointed out the playground areas for C/Torng using the overhead.

ingress was through a front key coded entry and that there was always a full
time director/administrator at the door who checked everyone in and out.
Staff parks at the rear of the building and that all frontage parking spaces at
the school were 15 -minute drop off spaces. He said that parking had never
been an issue.

C/Lee introduced his cousin visiting from Korea. He.said he invited his cousin to
witness a true democratic and beautiful process tonight so that he could take what
he learned back to his country.
C/Torng said he visited England and attended the House of Parliament. He
welcomed Q/Wei and complimented C/Evereft on his attention to detail. When he
visited one of tonight's projects he noticed that 24137 Willow Creek Road appeared
to be deserted and unkempt.
VC/Nelson welcomed C[Wei back to the Commission and said he looked forward to
working with him. He said he was complimented that C/Lee would invite his cousin
to this proceeding as an example of democracy. VC/Nelson said he understood
C/Torng's sentiments about C/Evereft and assured him it was the right of every
Commissioner to ask questions and exercise his right to do so no. matter what
amount of detail Commissioners needed to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion
regarding projects.
10. STAFF COMMENTS AND INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
10.1 Art in Public Places
CDD/Fong reported that on July -18 staff forwarded the Planning
Commission's recommendation to the City Council regarding Art in Public
Places. The City Council was interested in pursuing the matter and directed
staff to work with the Parks and Recreation Commission for further input.
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended setting up a
subcommittee consisting of two Planning Commissioners and two Parks and
Recreation Commissioners to further study the matter, create a definition of
art, decide where art pieces could be placed, etc.
C/Torng and VC/Nelson volunteered to participate on the subcommittee.
C/Lee said he would not participate because he would not favor imposing a
condition on developers that would ultimately pass the costs to the
consumer.
C[Wei said because he was new to the issue he would prefer to gather more
information before making a decision.
AUGUST 22, 2006 PAGE 10 PLANNING COMMISSIO
10.2 Historical Windmill
CDD/Fong reported that Council's direction was to attempt to preserve the
windmill either in its current location or at another location. Staff was
researching who owns the structure and discovered that the property owner
believes he owns the structure. Staff is researching what can legally be done
to preserve the structure.
10.3 Planning Commissioner Training Workshop
CDD/Fong offered special training to the Commissioners to assist them to
becoming familiar with the City's review process, discuss the basis of the
General Plan, zoning, etc. She suggested a study session to consider the
project design prior to a regular Planning Commission meeting on a monthly
basis addressing different topics. She also recommended a study session to
consider the proposed JCC Development project to prepare to address the
public concerns and comments.
VC/Nelson highly recommended that the Commissioners attend the sessions
so that they are armed with the facts. He said he would have to consult legal
counsel regarding his attendance at the sessions because he would be
recusing himself from ultimate consideration of the project.
C/Torng felt he would have to recuse himself because he lived too close to
the proposed project. CDD/Fong believed he lived an adequate distance
from the project to not have to recuse himself and said she would check into
the matter.

and the 36 feet front setback with the additional planting accommodates
the hardscape.
Prior to issuance of any City permits the Planning Division requires review
and approval of a -detailed landscape plan noting the type of planting
materials, color, size, quantity and location; the irrigation system, in the
area where the driveway reconstruction is noted.

batons with stucco; adds stucco window trim; adds the stucco finish on
the brick fireplace; and the new stone to replace the existing brick on the
lower level. The exterior elevation of the garage bay is converted to
windows to match the existing living room windows. The design's multi-
level roofs, windows, stucco and stone add texture, contrast, and low
maintenance materials.

legend line for #3 is mislabeled and will be corrected before building and
safety plan check.
b. Colors: The neutral palette, beiges, off-white, and the multi -colored roof
tile blend that picks the neutrals with red tones is consistent with the
existing structure. The architecture and colors are compatible with the

square feet. The third bay of the garage is converted for storage and
stairs to access the hobby room. The washer, dryer, AC unit and water

DRAFT
ATTACHMENT "'I"
The project site, currently developed with a two-story, single family
residence, was established before the adoption of the City's General
Plan and current Municipal Code. The adopted July 25, 1995, General
Plan land use designation is Low Density Residential (RL) (maximum
3 dwelling units/per acre). The Application complies with the City's
General Plan objectives and strategies related to maintaining the
integrity of residential neighborhoods and open space, the current
Diamond Bar Municipal Code, and with the City's Design Guidelines.
There is no specific plan.
The proposed pr6ject conforms to applicable provisions of the
Municipal Code; the site coverage is less than 40 percent, it is
comparable with the existing neighborhood, it meets the required
height limitations; and it does not encroach further into the setbacks
than the existing structure.
The design and layout of the proposed development will not interfere
with the use and enjoyment of neighboring existing or future
development, and will not create traffic or pedestrian hazards.
Brea Canyon Road and Fallow Field Drive adequately serve the
project site. These and the neighboring streets are designed to handle
minimum traffic created by residential development. The project site is
currently developed with a two-story single family residence and the
use does not change. The Application maintains the existing style
consistent with surrounding properties. The structure is not expected
to unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of neighboring
existing or future development.
(g) The architectural design of the proposed development is compatible
with the characteristics of the surrounding neighborhood and will
maintain and - enhance the harmonious, orderly and attractive
development contemplated b ' y Chapter 22.48, the General Plan, City
Design Guidelines, or any applicable specific plan.
The new two-story hobby room with faux balcony and the covered
porch supported by new stone columns is a new feature at the
streetscape. The application modernizes the existing structure by
eliminating the existing siding and batons replacing it with stucco;
adds stucco window trims; adds the stucco finish on the brick
fireplace; and replace the existing brick trim with new stone. The
exterior elevation'of the garage bay is converted to windows to match
the existing living room. The color palette is neutral and uses many of
the existing materials and colors so that the multi-level roofs,
windows, stucco and stone add texture, contrast, and low
maintenance materials.
