B

Thank
you.
Does
the
committee
have
any
revisions
to
the
agenda?
I
would
like
to
remove
item
number
three
from
tonight's
agenda.
I
think
that
there's
some
metal
just
has
too
many
mistakes
in
it
too.
Many
discrepancies
and
things
are
just
not
complete,
so
I
would
like
to
remove
that
from
the
agenda
and
ask
staff
to
meet
with
their
that
firm
to
tell
them
what's
missing.
E
A
Thank
you.
Since
this
is
a
public
meeting
audience
members
are
permitted
to
comment
on
any
issue
that
is
within
this
committee's
purview.
Comments
on
an
item
appearing
on
today's
agenda
are
made
at
the
time
that
that
item
is
presented.
If
you
would
like
to
speak
on
an
item
not
on
today's
agenda,
you
may
speak
now.
Each
speaker
will
have
three
minutes.
There's
anybody
in
the
waiting
room
who
wants
to
speak.
Please
identify
yourself.
A
D
A
A
I'm
going
to
say,
John
Walsh's,
first
John
McCoy
was
second
all
in
favor
hi
hi
any
opposed.
Okay,
thank
you.
We
will
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
Well,
we
did
just
talk
about
approving
the
minutes,
but
I
want
to
also
put
item
number
202
architecture
for
major
architectural
application
that
that
would
be
on
the
consent
agenda
too.
Do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda.
G
As
you
see,
there
are
a
lot
of
borders
very
undeveloped
and
the
site
is
surrounded
by
the
existing
natural
landscape,
and
this
is
the
the
project
site:
topography,
the
science
topography
slot
start
from
its
northwest
corner
to
south
east
corner
with
a
division.
Difference
of
approximately
14
feet
and
as
you
see
here
in
the
image
on
the
left
side
at
the
bottom,
the
passive
drainage
flow
actually
goes
across
the
property
in
the
front
portion,
and
this
is
a
proposed
design.
G
This
is
a
primary
innovation
of
the
proposed
resonance.
The
project
proposes
a
mix
of
materials
such
as
vertical
wood,
siding
metal,
Eve,
blackened
steel
and
natural
stone
wall
and
a
large,
expensive
grazing
area,
and
this
is
a
salsa
division
which
faces
the
pool,
the
designs
characterized
by
a
prominent
roof
overhangs
for
solar
control
and
a
strong
horizontal
line
of
the
metal
Eve,
and
this
is
the
East
Innovation.
G
The
project
proposes
a
side
facing
garage
opening
and,
as
you
see
here,
for
the
proposed
project
incorporates
a
stack,
sorry
stepping
a
design,
so
the
primary
residence
is
located
at
the
higher
Innovation
and
The
Garage
Innovation
is
slightly
lower,
followed
by
the
bedroom,
and
this
is
the
West
Innovation
again,
the
in
the
use
of
identical
construction
materials
are
proposed.
Vertical
wood,
siding
stucco
wall,
metal,
Eve,
foreign
s
of
the
purple's
red
stance,
residence
stops
steps
done
from
the
primary
residence
towards
the
garage.
G
Additional
sections
just
to
show
the
relationship
in
terms
of
innovation,
the
primary
Innovation
is
measured
at
931
feet
and
the
garage
is
actually
going
to
be
located
at
the
lower
area
and
The.
Innovation
is
a
measure
of
296
feet
and
the
section
at
the
bottom
shows
the
bedroom.
The
bedroom
is
actually
located
at
the
further
down
and
The.
Innovation
is
measured
at
921
feet
and,
as
I
mentioned,
the
applicant
is
proposing
stepping
design
is
a
maximum
Building
height
of
18
feet.
G
This
Taco
will
decking
Stone
paper,
Bracken,
steel,
concrete
Hardscape
and
the
black
window
and
door
frame,
and
these
are
the
additional
renderings
of
the
proposed
residence
again.
The
massing
of
the
building
is
broken
up.
It
utilizes
the
science
topography.
Stepping
design
is
a
mix
of
a
horizontal
and
a
vertical
lines.
G
This
is
as
Steph
mentioned
earlier.
The
project
proposes
a
guest
parking
on
the
winter
sun
drive
and
a
specific
plant
does
not
expressly
allow
or
prohibit
guest
parking.
However,
the
specific
plan
does
encourage
design
that
minimize
minimize
the
visual
impact
of
parking
and
there's
a
language
in
there
which
states
parking
shall
be
screened
to
the
degree
possible
from
the
street
and
adjacent
home
sites,
and
even
the
the
applicants
proposing
these
parking
areas
to
be
utilized
for
guest
parking.
G
So,
with
some
information
presented,
staff
finds
that
the
project
confirms
with
the
development
standards
except
for
the
front
yard
fence
height.
The
project
proposes
a
six
feet,
whereas
the
specific
funding,
it's
the
height
defined
feed
and
then
also
there's
no
information
of
a
pool
enclosure
provided
at
this.
G
Being
because
it's
being
close
to
the
street,
however,
staff
finds
that
the
project
is
in
conformance
with
applicable
regulations
and
guidelines
if
the
conditions
are
implemented
and
the
implementation
of
the
conditions
of
approval
will
not
alter
the
nature
of
the
project
or
the
character.
The
proposed
design
and
with
these
findings
that
staff
is
recommending
recommending
that
Arc
adopted
resolution
and
approve
the
projects
subject
to
conditions
of
our
approval,
and
these
conditions
of
approval
include
but
are
not
limited
to
the
funds.
G
The
removal
removal
of
the
guest
parking
along
Winter,
Sun,
Drive
and
the
poor
enclosure
to
be
provided
for
building
code
and
relocate
the
trash
enclosure
further
towards
the
South,
or
enhance
the
area's
landscape
design
to
provide
a
better
screening
and
a
front
yard
fan
site
to
be
reduced
to
five
feet,
and
there
should
be
no
encroachment
of
outdoor
lighting,
fixtures
and
landscaping
materials
into
the
non-built
buffer
areas.
This
concludes
the
stock
presentation
and
the
applicant
is
here.
If
you
have
any
questions.
Thank
you.
A
D
G
Not
to
my
knowledge,
as
a
part
of
as
a
part
of
preparing
the
staff
report,
I
did
review
the
proposed
development
plans
for
the
Lots
that
I
immediately
adjacent
the
site
right,
but
I
did
not
really
see
guest
parking
and
then
also
I
spoke
to
my
colleagues
about
it.
But
there
was
no
indication
that
there
hasn't
been
any
project
that
proposed
against
parking.
Okay,.
G
G
I
think,
according
to
the
applicant,
the
HOA
prohibits
a
street
parking.
The
desert
Pisces
specific
plan
indicates
that
when
the
community
was
initially
developed
that
took
into
or
actually
to
say,
considered
street
parking
I
based
on
my
communication
with
the
engineering
department,
though
they
did
not
think
the
street
is
actually
wide
enough
to
accommodate
guest
parking.
G
A
F
Sorry
guys
just
trying
to
turn
on
my
camera,
I
can't
find
it
blue
I
know
hi
I'm,
Nick
lafaro
from
Studio
Ard
Architects,
representing
the
owners
Eric
and
Naomi
tele
for
their
proposed
home
on
Lot
10
in
desert
penalties.
So
I
want
to
start
off
by
discussing
some
of
these
issues
and
recommendations
from
staff
so
item
one.
The
project
proposes
off
Street
guest
parking
on
winter
sun
Drive.
F
Well,
we
found
when
looking
through
the
HOA
guidelines
is
that
they
strictly
prohibit
street
parking.
So
our
attempt
to
get
some
temporary
guest
parking
if
I
can
share
screen
by
the
way.
This
is
not
meant
for
long-term
guest
parking.
We've
actually
located
some
more
long-term
guest
parking
down
in
this
area.
F
This
little
hammer
head
that
we
have
in
the
driveway,
but
our
attempt
to
getting
some
some
temporary
guest
parking
was
there's
an
existing
eight
foot,
public
UTI,
not
public
utility
utility
right-of-way,
that's
composed
of
a
red
GD,
DG,
decomposed
granite,
and
what
we
wanted
to
do
is
we
wanted
to
use
that
same
material
and
just
kind
of
carve
out
a
little
bit
more
in
our
property
for
it.
And
then
we
were
going
to
landscape
and
kind
of
blend
that
in
a
bit
more.
F
F
We
actually
we
actually
thought
we
weren't
going
to
need
a
pool
enclosure
on
this
one
because
we're
providing
a
a
pool
cover.
That
was
that's
going
to
be
concealed
and
retract.
Underneath
the
pool
coping
on
the
western
side
of
the
pool
here
but
I
was
on
the
phone
with
Noriko
and
Alberto
the
building
inspector
and
they
informed
me
that
that's
kind
of
a
secondary
and
that
we
do
need
a
primary
permanent,
full
enclosure
structure.
So
we're
happy
to
design
that
and
work
with
Noriko
and
the
city
to
make
that
nice.
F
C
F
Well,
yes,
we're
going
to
screen
it
more.
We
want
to
keep
the
trash
enclosure
where
it
is
because
we
have
this
main
feature
kind
of
story
and
a
half
glass
wall
here,
and
we
don't
want
the
trash
enclosure
to
impede
on
it.
Nor
do
we
want
clients
and
guests
to
have
to
stare
at
it,
so
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
screen
from
the
street.
More
no
problem.
F
Item
number
four
front:
yard:
fences
exceed
the
maximum
allowable
Pen
side
of
five
feet
again.
Our
our
intent
here
I
believe
this
area
here
is
where
we
are
exceeding
five
feet.
We
are
calling
out
finish
grade
at
nine
three
four
and
our
top
of
fence
at
nine
four
zero.
So
this
this
lot,
all
of
the
lots
that
are
situated
kind
of
south
of
the
streets
in
desert,
Palisades,
they're
kind
of
in
a
pits
and
you're
kind
of
looking
down
at
them.
F
So
our
intent
here
is
to
help
screen
the
front
entry
and
to
help
screen
the
office
and
the
powder
room.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
our
fences,
Are
No
taller
than
five
feet
from
our
finished
braid,
so
we're
gonna,
use
Boulders,
we're
gonna,
relocate
on-site
boulders
to
help
raise
that
grade
and
naturalize
it.
F
So
these
fences
from
the
street
will
only
read
us
five
feet
high,
so
that
goes
for
this
fence
in
front
of
the
entry
and
this
fence
in
front
of
the
the
great
room,
the
other
items
item
five
and
item
six.
We
were
showing
some
landscape
lighting
wiring
and
some
Boulders
in
the
no
build
buffer
areas,
so
we're
gonna
remove
those
from
the
buffer
areas,
no
problem,
but
overall
this.
This
is
a
very
site-specific
project
that
we've
worked
closely
with
the
clients
on
it's
a
split
level.
F
Not
it's
not
a
two-story.
It's
a
split
level
home
with
the
garage
kind
of
at
the
medium
level,
the
great
room
at
the
highest
level
and
the
guest
bedrooms
at
the
lower
level.
There
was
a
concern
from
the
clients
from
the
beginning,
like
they
loved
the
split
level,
but
we
didn't
want
to
block
the
views
towards
the
southeast.
F
F
F
C
A
Just
to
follow
up
from
Dan's
question,
it
appears,
then,
that
there's
no
intention
that
the
homeowners
or
their
guests
would
be
able
to
use
that
rough
Garden.
It's
just
there,
so
that
you're
not
looking
at
membrane
Roofing.
That's
that's
correct!
Okay,
thank
you
did
I,
say
someone
had
a
question.
Robert.
C
Couple
questions
so
your
comment
about
the
trash
location
and
the
view
out
of
the
windows.
I,
guess
it's
at
the
stairwell,
but
when
you
look
out
that
store
you're
looking
at
the
condenser
units
right
next
to
the
trash
unit,
so
I
mean
that
really
seems
like
a
weak
argument
in
terms
of
how
you
screen
it
and
where
it
gets
located.
C
And
the
other
thing
is,
you
know
you
did
another
project
and
I
think
it
was
on
City
View,
and
it
was
this.
The
pool
was
exposed
on
the
street
side
and
I
know
I've
been
up
there
and
the
the
solution
for
the
pool
fencing.
Well,
it
looks
like
a
temporary
I
mean
it
really
looks
hokey
and
it's
kind
of
shocking
that
one
of
your
projects,
you
know,
did
that
so
I
think
when
you're
doing
the
design
for
the
tool
fencing
that
we
kind.
E
F
I
completely
agree
that
was
our
our
first
project
lot,
50
up
there
for
the
pool,
fencing
where
none
had
been
required
or
designed,
and
the
homeowners
ended
up
kind
of
temporarily.
Putting
that
up.
We
we've
since
come
up
with
more
elaborate
designs
for
projects
that
we've
presented
again
on
this
one.
We
didn't
think
we
needed
it
because
of
the
pool
cover
so
yep
we're
happy
to
work
on
a
permanent
solution
for
that
great.
A
Nick,
could
you
give
us
a
bit
of
a
clarification
about
these
steel
fences?
I
know
you're
going
to
lower
the
one
in
the
front
setback
the
fence,
that's
around
the
garden
outside
of
the
dining
room
and
living
room
that
is
back
within
the
buildable
area,
the
way
I'm
reading
it
portions
of
that
are
large,
Boulders
and
then
there's
a
section
of
Steel
and
then
more
Boulders,
and
then
steel
am
I.
Interpreting
that
correctly,
you.
F
Are
interpreting
that
correctly?
We've
got
some
big
boulders
out
there,
so
we
might
not
get
these
six
foot
high
Boulders,
but
the
the
main
purpose
of
the
placement
of
the
screening,
the
metal
screening,
is,
as
you
can
see,
they're
kind
of
in
line
with
the
the
multi-slide
off
of
the
dining
room
and
we
kind
of
extended
them
past
a
bit
just
for
some
added
privacy
and
we
have
those
set
at
six
speed
height
because
we
are
within
our
proper
within
our
setbacks.
A
B
A
D
It
caught
my
attention
in
the
staff
report
because
it
has
impact
not
just
on
this
project
but
on
on
other
developments
up
there
is
the
issue
of
the
guest
parking
and,
as
I
I,
think
back.
We've
seen
other
projects
up
there
and
I
I've,
always
kind
of
wondered
how
how
you
approach
that
the
house
in
a
vehicle-
and
you
kind
of
get
the
feeling
you
sort
of
slide
up
against
the
the
grade
there
and
and
get
out
of
your
car
this.
This
is
the
type
of
thing
I
think
that
tackles
it
effectively.
D
It's
an
intended
guest
parking,
niche
and
I
I
would
be
kind
of
baffled
by
the
HOA
if
I
understand
correctly,
wouldn't,
wouldn't
support
that,
because
I
think
to
kind
of
manage
it
and
address
it
kind
of
puts
you
ahead
of
the
game.
So
you
know
if,
if
if
that
is
something
that
that
they
can
do
I,
that
I
would
certainly
support
it.
D
A
couple
other
things:
yes,
I
I-
think
the
the
pull
fencing
ends
that
because
of
the
Simplicity
of
the
house,
the
pool
fencing
is
a
a
kind
of
a
huge
element
in
terms
of
how
it
successfully
or
not
so
successfully
integrates
and
I.
Just
think
that
that
would
be
something
that
needs
to
be
looked
at
clearly
developed
and
looked
at
by
staff.
D
Let's
see,
Paul
fencing,
The,
Roof,
Garden,
I'm
kind
of
confused
about
it's
Roof
Garden
to
me
means
there's
sod,
there's
load.
Things
are
growing
up
there,
but
it
it
the
rendering
seems
to
indicate
that
it's
a
kind
of
a
rock
garden,
albeit
lovely,
but
it's
it's
it's
different
than
than
the
the
title
of
It
kind
of
announces
itself
to
be,
and
then
the
last
thing
I
I
would
just
share.
D
A
F
A
D
C
D
A
B
Just
one
comment:
so
the
city
council,
at
its
meeting
at
its
recent
meeting,
had
a
conversation
about
allowing
boards
and
committees
to
resume
in-person
meetings.
It
is
an
option,
so
we
are
looking
at
that
with
I.T
and
just
kind
of
internally
what
the
logistics
of
that
would
look
like.
We
obviously
have
a
goal
of
preserving
you
know:
access
to
the
widest
sort
of
breadth
of
participants
possible,
so
I
think
that
our
preference
would
be
to
maintain
a
hybrid
option
should
the
should
the
committee
wish
to
resume
in-person
meetings.
B

You
know,
rather
than
all
of
them,
rather
than
all
in
person
to
meet
Quorum.
We
just
need
to
work
with
the
city
attorney
to
get
answers
to
how
that
would
work.
If
we
are
resuming
in-person
meetings,
whether
it
would
mean
that
all
the
committee
members
need
to
be
present
or
whether
you
yourselves
could
also
be
hybrid.
So
those
are
the
kinds
of
questions
that
we're
working
through
and
again.
B
A
As
part
of
that
same
discussion
when
we
met
with
the
city
council
in
oh
I,
guess
sometime
in
the
summer,
just
all
the
commissions
met,
there
was
a
discussion
that
some
committees
could
move
their
meetings
back
to
afternoon
meetings
and
our
group,
our
group
decided.
We
would
like
to
do
that
and
we
can
still
pull
our
committee
next
week.
Our
next
meeting
but
I,
think
if
you
can
approach
that
with
the
council,
that
would
be
beneficial
for
us
also.
