RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SARATOGA
UPHOLDING A DECISION OF TEE PLANNING COMMISSION
WHEREAS, BRIAN POOL, the applicant, has 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-88-102, and
WHEREAS, on November 8, 1989, January 24, 1990, and
February 14, 1990, the Planning Commission of the City of Saratoga,
conducted a public hearing on said application, and following the
conclusion thereof, the Planning Commission denied the application;
and
WHEREAS, the applicant has appealed the decision of the
Planning Commission to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, on March 21, 1990, and April 18, 1990, 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 the proceedings conducted by the Planning
Commission 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 April 18, 1990, by a vote of 3-2 with
Councilmembers Clevenger and Peterson dissenting, did resolve as
follows:
1. The appeal from the Planning Commission was denied
and the decision of the Planning Commission was
affirmed.
2o The City Council concluded that the failure to
construct the original addition in accordance with
the approved plans was not accidental and the
applicant was attempting to construct the same
second story addition as previously denied by the
Site Review Committee and the City Council in 1986.
Under the circumstances, the granting of design
review approval would allow the applicant to
successfully violate the zoning regulations and
obtain a result that previously was denied.
