STAFF REPORT
PLANNER: John F. Livingstone, Associate Planner
DATE: April 2, 2002
PROJECT: Historic Adobe Wall Restoration at 15231 Quito Road
APPLICANT: Darrell Boyle, Property Owner
SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing to restore the existing adobe wall located at 15231 Quito Road. The
wall is in poor condition in several areas and needs to be restored. The owner is also proposing
to correct a previous repair job to the wall that was done improperly and is causing the wall to
fail. The applicant will reuse most of the existing adobe bricks. The process has been outlined
in the enclosed letter from the applicant.
As part of the restoration project the applicant is proposing to relocate the wall and adjust the
property line. This will require a Lot Line Adjustment and'Variance.
If the restoration project is approved by the HPC, staff is recommending as a condition of
approval that the wall can not be relocated until the variance and lot line adjustment have been
approved by the Planning Commission and all associated documents recorded.
A map showing the precise location of the improvements will be provided at the HPC meeting.
