RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SARATOGA UPHOLDING A DECISION OF THE SITE REVIEW
COMMITTEE
WHEREAS, MAHLON and BILL POOL, the applicants, have applied to the
City of Saratoga for design review approval to construct a second story addition to an
existing residence located at 20334 Thelma Avenue, such application being identified
as DR-86-019, and
WHEREAS, on September 10, 1986, the Site Review Committee of the City
of Saratoga conducted a public hearing on said application, and following the
conclusion thereof, the Site Review Committee denied the application; and
WHEREAS, on November 19, 1986, the City Council conducted a de novo
public hearing on the appeal, at which time any person interested in the matter was
given an opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed and considered the staff reports,
minutes of proceedings conducted by the Site Review Committee relating to said
application, and the written and oral evidence presented to the City Council in support
of and in opposition to the appeal,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Saratoga, at its
meeting on November 19, 1986, by a vote of 5-0, did resolve as follows:
1. The appeal from the Site Review Committee was denied and the
decision of the Site Review Committee was affirmed.
2. The City Council was unable to make the compatibility and privacy
findings required for the granting of design review approval, based
upon the following considerations:
(a) The existing residences within the immediate neighborhood are
primarily single-story. The proposed two-story addition would
not be compatible with these structures.
(b) The applicants' lot is larger than the minimum size prescribed
for the R-l-10,000 zoning district in which it is located, being
15,531 square feet. There is sufficient room for the
construction of a single-story addition in the large rear yard.
(c) The proposed second story addition would interfere with the
privacy of adjacent property owners since the existing mature
landscaping would not provide adequate screening.
3. The staff report to the Site Review Committee, dated
September 10, 1986, recommending denial of the application, is
hereby approved and incorporated herein by reference.
