What Brenda Luster said
I didn't see any indication that they needed any retaining walls. It was more of a drainage issue they want to ensure to, to keep that, and it was backed by, um, I think the town's geotechnical reviewer as well. So grading, I feel, could move forward.Brenda LusterCommissioner · Moraga Planning Commission · Mar 11, 2025Watch the full meeting from 1:43:57
This might be more for the applicant, but wondering if there is something specific to the upkeep of the property, specifically keeping the, um, it's black metal railings, right, on the outside, keeping those painted regularly. Can we be that specific on, um, conditions of approval, I guess?
Brenda LusterCommissioner · Moraga Planning Commission · Mar 11, 2025Watch the full meeting from 29:23Really quick clarification, actually, in terms of the density bonus, because that is state law as well. I'm wondering exactly what approval is required or why we would have to approve that specifically when it's already approved by law. Or can you clarify for me?
Brenda LusterCommissioner · Moraga Planning Commission · Mar 11, 2025Watch the full meeting from 1:13:33I had some questions circling around here somewhere. Clarification on the mitigation measures, um, as to whether or not the town double-checks, um, all of those mitigation measures for compliance prior to giving a certificate of occupancy.
Brenda LusterCommissioner · Moraga Planning Commission · Mar 11, 2025Watch the full meeting from 27:36I know that we had talked in the past about making it such that we're not coming in for like a fence modification or something very, very small. Did we change some language to, to make it administrative for some of those little things?
Brenda LusterCommissioner · Moraga Planning Commission · Oct 22, 2024Watch the full meeting from 17:41They're conducted so that you assess all possible environmental issues at the time when you're designing your project, and there's the hope that you can mitigate as much as possible. That's the hope of the EIR. It's not to kill a project ever.
