The motion was carried, with Commissioner Zambetti abstaining, since he was not present at the meeting. II. SINGLE SITE APPROVAL PER ORDINANCE NO. 60.05 A. SDR -1436 - George Oldham, Oak Street, Tentative Building Site Approval, 1 Lot Mr. Oldham and his architect were present for the discussion. Staff stated that the major problems associated with this single lot related to drainage and the improvements to be required at this time (including undergrounding of utilities). The Land Development Committee discussed at length the drainage on this side of Oak Street and determined that the conditions under the Departments of Public Works and Inspection Services were adequate (including the potential for studies and having plans submitted). They then discussed increasing the Staff recommended improvements and having them deferred. The Staff Report was modified to read: "Improve Oak Street to City standards, including the following: Designed structural section 20 ft. between centerline and flowline." (to be deferred) " Undergrounding existing overhead utilities." " Obtain encroachment permit from Department of Public Works for driveway approaches or pipe crossings of street." "Enter into Deferred Improvement Agreement for the required improvements marked D.I.A." The Committee then marked the improvements to Oak Street to be deferred (but did not include the storm drainage in the Deferred Agreement). Additionally, the engineered improvement plans for street improvements was deferred. Mr. Zambetti expressed concern that the utilities would be undergrounded at some time. Also, the walkway, whose improvements were to be deferred, would be handled as necessary if any damage occurred at the time of building plans. Mr. Robinson moved that the Land Development Committee approve SDR -1436 as amended per the Staff Report dated August 24, 1979 and Exhibit "B ". Mr. Zambetti seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. B. SDR -1440 -Ray Anderegg, Bonnie Brae Lane, Tentative Building Site ADDroval - 1 Lot Mr. Anderegg was present for the discussion. Staff reported that this approval involved a site in the R -1- 40,000 district at the end of Bonnie Brae Lane. The site presently contained one resi- dence which might be historical. However, the site was not divis- ible into two lots. Therefore, if a new residence was constructed as proposed by Mr. Anderegg, the kitchen facilities were conditioned - 1 - Land Development Page 2 4 6 Committee Minutes 9/20/79 SDR -1440 (cont.) to be removed prior to issuance of building permits in the existing house. The LDC discussed the historical nature of the house and the timing for removal of the kitchen facilities. Mr. Anderegg indicated that he intended to build a large resi- dence on the site, as well as a tennis court and swimming pool. A condition was added to the Staff Report, stating that "Site development plan (showing residence and any planned accessories or pools) is to be submitted to the Planning Department prior to issuance of building permit." It was moved and seconded to approve the Staff Report dated September 14, 1979 as amended, in the matter of SDR -1440. The motion was carried unanimously. III. MISCELLANEOUS A. SDR -1406 - Ronald J. Haas, Camino Barco, Modification of Site Development Plan Mr. Haas was present for this discussion. He submitted new con- ceptual plans for the Committee to review. The Committee expressed concern over the potential removal of trees and the possible flooding problem as stated by Colonel Barco. Addi- tionally, it was requested that the pad elevations be stepped to fit the property, and that the driveway be placed on the subject site only. The LDC then directed that the item be con- tinued for two weeks, and that new plans be submitted prior to the next meeting of October 4, 1979. B. SDR -1248 - Fred Irany, Vista Regina, Modification of Site Development Plan Mr. and Mrs. Irany were present for this discussion. The Iranys explained that their plans had been reviewed in the Inspection Services Department to place a pool on the lot, and that they had understood the Committee was their next step. The LDC decided to review the site for placement of a pool. Mr. Wimberly explained that the pool was being put on a hillside lot where it would not disrupt any trees or the view of any of the neighbors. The grading for the pool had been minimized through the Inspection Services Department review. It was moved and seconded to approve Exhibit "E" for SDR -1248 for a modification to the site development plan. The motion was carried unanimously. C. SDR -1420 - Warren Heid (Carroll), Big Basin Way, Tentative Building Site Approval - 1 Lot (Commercial) Staff presented the report for the subject site which was to go to the Commission at their next meeting. The LDC reviewed the conditions and expressed concern over the fate of Parking District #3. It was felt that certain sites were receiving the parking district benefits prior to inception and agreement on the parking district, which might be unfair to the smaller pro- perty owners in the middle of the block. Mr. Robinson stated that he would tell the Commission of the LDC's concern. IV. ADJOURNMENT It was moved and seconded to adjourn the meeting. The motion was carried unanimously.
