SDR -1445 - Peter Noonan, Pike Road, Tentative Building Site Approval 1 Lot- Mr. Noonan and his engineer, Mr. Markl, were'present for the discussion. Staff explained that the applicant was requesting building site approval for a lot towards.the end of Pike Road with an average slope of 37 %. The major concern, since th-e City Geolo- gist had conditionally approved the site for tentative approval, is the proposed grading. The LDC reviewed the proposed map which showed retaining walls to the front and rear of the house, with a maximum height of 6 ft. They expressed concern about the.usabili- ty of the garage, as well as the amount of grading required for its construction.. They requested that the.appl cant return-with a map showing,the calculations of the ,cut and fill and perhaps turn - ing the garage to reduce the amount of grading. It was directed that this item be.continued to.the January 17, 1980 meeting. B. SDI: -1446 - Mr. and Mrs: Klein, Sobey Road, Tentative Building Site Approval - 1 Lot Mrs. Klein and Ralph Nafz.jar were present for the discussion. Staff explained that this.bui.lding site approval was required since the applicants we're planning to'expand"ther house over 50 %. A use permit.(and a concurrent variance) had been granted previously for the second story addition. The LDC reviewed the map, particu- larly the height of the structure, the number of kitchens; the proposed setbacks, and the lack of turnaround for the Central Fire Department. The LDC then reviewed the conditions of the Staff Report, and it,was moved and seconded to.grant building site' approval for SDR -1446, subject to that report dated December 27, 19.79.

The LDC reviewed the drawing submitted and indicated a willingness to approve the site conceptually. Mr. Scheuermann expressed a desire for additional decking and the possibility of an option of a hot tub on the site. It was determined that Mr. Scheuermann could annotate the drawing and bring it back for Committee approval. At that time Mr. Shook expressed the desire for a 2:1 slope in between the pool and the retain- ing walls, and then moved that the Committee grant approval to the modification per Exhibit "C" dated January 3, 1980. The motion was seconded and it was carried unanimously. B. 23- 18 -59- Ronald Cone, Mt. Eden Road, Review of County Conditions of 78S Tentative Building Site Approval prior to Annexation to City of Saratoga - 2 Lots Staff explained that the applicant's engineer, Cliff Underwood, had requested that the item be continued until the January 17, 1980 meeting. It was directed that this item be continued as requested. C. SDR -1438 - Angelina Arata, Maude Avenue, Tentative Building Site Approval 3 Lots, Referral from City Council to Review Conditions IV -A. and VII -B. Mr. Arata was present for the discussion. The LDC reviewed with Mr. Arata what structures or portions of structures he desired to retain. The LDC determined that the existing shed on Lot B, as long as it was brought up to code, was within the proper setbacks. However, the older residence and garage on Lots A and B, of which Mr. Arata wished to retain a portion, would require the granting of a use permit. The LDC explained to Mr. Arata that this use permit could be heard in conjunction with the final approval for which a public hearing was required; therefore, no action is necessary by the LDC. V. COMMUNICATIONS The LDC decided to make an on -site inspection for the LDS Church Building Site Approval on Friday morning, January 11th, at 8:30 a.m. They requested that Staff notify the applicant and the concerned neighbors.
