A
A
You
and
for
the
record
Kevin
asked
me
to
make
note
that
he
was
here
early
to
me.
Public
comment
is
there
anyone
is
there
anyone
here
in
New,
pumpkin-like
maketh
anyone
here
from
the
public?
That
would
like
to
make
a
comment
on
an
item.
That's
not
on
the
agenda
this
evening.
Okay,
seeing
none
public
comment
is
closed.
Conflict
of
interests
there
any
this
evening,
there's.
C
A
F
You
and
good
evening
I
stated
the
Appin
has
applied
for
a
use
permit
to
construct
a
new
single-family
dwelling.
The
site
itself
is
located
on
the
northwest
corner
of
san
anselmo
and
san
benito
avenue.
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
the
applicant
has
applied
for
a
lot
line
adjustment
application
in
the
interest
of
creating
two
developable
parcels.
If
you
turn
to
exhibit
be
within
your
staff
report,
you'll
notice
that
there's
two
new
lots
that
will
be
created
through
this
lot
line
adjustment
application.
F
The
new
lot
3
is
the
interior
lot
and
has
five
thousand
twelve
square
feet
of
total
area
and
will
front
directly
onto
san
anselmo
avenue
newly
created
corner
lot,
which
is
identified
as
new
lot
number
to
consist
of
6329
square
feet
of
overall
area
and
is
located
directly.
It
has
frontage
on
san
anselmo
avenue
and
san
benito
avenue.
The
proposal
before
us
tonight
is
to
construct
a
new
single-family
dwelling
on
the
newly
created
two
interior
lot
that
fronts
directly
onto
san
anselmo
avenue.
F
The
lot
line
adjustment
application
can
be
approved
at
staff
level
and
does
not
require
planning
commission
approval.
As
stated,
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
construct
a
new
two-story
single-family
dwelling.
The
first
floor
will
contain
a
living
room,
family
room
office
kitchen
in
one
bathroom.
The
second
floor
will
contain
three
bedrooms
and
two
bathrooms
combine.
The
home
will
amount
to
2329
square
feet
of
living
area
with
an
attached
two-car
garage.
F
The
project
was
reviewed
by
the
Architectural
Review
Committee.
At
their
June
meeting,
the
architects
review
committee
forwarded
the
project
on
to
the
Planning
Commission,
with
a
favorable
recommendation,
with
some
very
minor
staff
recommendations.
Those
recommendations,
including
continuing
the
brick
base
along
the
left
side.
Elevation
modifying
the
interior
garage
based
I
have
a
minimum
interior
dimension
of
20
feet
wide
by
20
feet
deep
and
to
incorporate
windows
along
the
top
floor,
the
garage
door,
the
applicant,
has
addressed
all
staffs
recommendations
and
updated
the
plans.
F
Accordingly,
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
the
proposal
before
us
tonight
is
meeting
all
of
the
development
standards.
Specifically,
they
are
meeting
the
FA
our
requirement
or
threshold
lot
coverage,
threshold,
setbacks
and
height
requirement.
Staff
does
find
that
the
proposal
complies
with
the
residential
design
guidelines.
They
are
incorporating
set
facts.
The
second
floor
set
back
from
the
first
story
below
additionally.
The
second
floor
is
meeting
all
the
daylight
plane
options
identified
within
the
residential
design
guidelines.
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
that
there
is
consistent
window
type
and
trim
around
all
four
elevations.
F
The
athin
has
also
incorporated
a
number
of
design
features
to
help
and
de-emphasize
the
garage,
most
notably
they
are
using
a
split
garage
door,
design
I'm.
Additionally,
there
is
a
trellis
feature
located
just
above
the
garage
and
staff
also
finds
that
the
proposed
large
porch,
which
measures
six
feet
deep
by
approximately
twenty
point,
five
feet
wide,
will
help
de-emphasize
the
garage,
even
more
staff,
did
send
the
required
300-foot
public
notification
and
a
courtesy
notice
to
all
property
owners.
F
We
received
one
comment
from
a
neighbor
regarding
the
appearance
of
the
lot
that
that
property
owner
is
specifically
concerned
with
the
weeds
on
site
and
the
lack
of
perimeter
fencing.
Since
that
time,
the
applicant
has
reduced
or
eliminated
three
weeds
on
site
and
the
applicant
plans
on
securing
the
site
with
perimeter
fencing
once
the
existing
single-family
home
is
demolished
on
the
corner
of
san
anselmo
and
san
benito
avenue.
F
Overall
staff
supports
the
project
and
we
do
find
that
the
new
home
is
consistent
with
the
design
and
scale
of
the
neighborhood
and
complies
with
all
aspects
of
the
residential
design
guidelines.
Staff
would
like
to
add
one
condition
of
approval,
and
that
is
requiring
that
the
lot
line
adjustment
application
be
approved
and
recorded
prior
to
building
permit
issuance
with
that
staff
recommends
that
the
Planning
Commission
approve
the
project
based
on
findings
affect
one
through
seven
in
conditions
of
approval
1
through
27,
with
the
added
condition
regarding
the
lot
line.
D
G
F
H
Do
you
mean
my
name
is
Carlos
Cajon
ichthus
and
I
am
the
our
property
owner
as
well
as
mr.
Spheeris
connect
through
sitting
there
we
are
just
as
matt
says
we
are
trying
to
build
a
new
single-family
residence,
two
stories
on
the
bordering
the
park,
the
lomita
park
on
Sanus
elmo.
Is
we
worked
very
hard
with
Matt
to
plan
this
out
architectural
e
to
look
good
and
to
fit
with
the
neighborhood?
That
was
something
that
we
were.
You
know
very
worried
about,
because
we
didn't
want
to
change
the
neighborhood.
H
Guidelines,
yes,
as
far
as
the
landscaping
goes,
we
are
you
know,
planning
to.
We
have
planned
to
go
with
the
landscaping
that
the
city
has
recommended
California
local
native
plants,
drought
resistant
besides
that
we're
working
very
hard
to
with
the
city
to
make
sure
that
this
project
looks
good
and
to
meet
your
requirements.
Thank.
E
I
Now
staff
may
be
aware
that
the
applicant
that's
after
this
one
5b
I
have
a
similar
issue
with
this
one,
which
is
the
roof
lines
you
have
to
roof
lines.
I
look
at
the
front
elevation.
Yes,
one
on
the
top
left
that
looks
like
two
houses
to
me:
it's
not
an
integrated
building,
architectural
II
I,
don't
agree
with
the
roof.
The
two
roofs
that
you
have
and
I
personally
will
not
approve
this
project.
If
this
roof
line
exists,.
H
I
I
E
E
I
These
two
other
the
top
and
the
bottom
rope
elevations
the
front
and
the
rear
ones
that
have
fallen
with
where
this
the
left
side
and
the
right
side
look
like
two
distinct
buildings
to
me
and
they're,
not
it
doesn't
look
like
a
single
family
doing
it
looks
like
the
duplex
to
me:
I
architectural
II.
I
don't.
I
don't
think
this
works
now
talking
about
square
footage,
I'm
not
talking
about
design
guidelines,
I'm
just
talking
about
just
the
way
the
roof
interacts.
With
the
second
floor.

Okay,
we
all
here
Thank
You
Perry
and
thank
you
Mary
for
the
lovely
conversation
item,
b79
2790,
cottonwood
drive.
This
is
request
for
use
permit
to
allow
an
addition
which
increases
the
gross
floor
area
ratio
of
an
existing
home
by
greater
than
fifty
percent
for
sections,
12

B

and
12

December
new
municipal
code.
J
You
and
good
evening
the
subject
site
is
on
cottonwood
drive
at
greenwood
way.
It's
a
5,000
square
foot
lot
with
an
existing
house
of
1584
square
feet
of
living
area.
They
also
have
a
partially
covered
carport
that
was
built
with
a
building
permit.
Actually
soon
after
the
original
house
was
constructed,
there
is
no
garage
on
site.
Currently,
the
applicant
is
proposing
an
addition
to
the
right
side
of
the
existing
home.
It
would
remain
as
a
one-story
house.
The
addition
would
include
478
square
feet
of
living
area
and
a
409
square
foot
two-car
garage.
J
It
would
be
a
slightly
substandard
two-car
garage,
which
I'll
discuss
a
little
bit
more
in
just
a
minute.
The
total
floor
area
is
proposed,
two
thousand
step,
sorry
2471,
which
represents
a
floor
area
ratio
of
0
point
for
nine,
which
is
beneath
the
floor
area
ratio
guideline.
The
lock
coverage
is
proposed
to
be
forty-nine
percent,
which
does
require
a
discretion
entitlement,
so
the
use
permit
tonight
is
for
a
50-percent
expansion
in
the
floor
area,
as
well
as
exceeding
the
lot
coverage
threshold.
J
The
house
is
intended
to
be
used
as
a
small
residential
care
facility
and
needs
to
be
wheelchair
accessible
for
that
use.
Therefore,
the
house
is
proposed
to
remain
as
a
one-story
and
there
are
several
ramps
that
are
required
for
access
to
the
house,
both
in
the
front
and
on
sides
and
on
the
rear
of
the
property.
The
project
has
been
reviewed
twice
by
the
Architectural
Review
Committee
in
February
of
this
year.
J
The
primary
recommendations
from
the
Architectural
Review
Committee,
where
to
include
a
two-car
garage,
and
the
committee
felt
strongly
the
applicant
out
originally
proposed
kind
of
a
large
one
car
garage
and
the
committee
preferred
to
see
a
slightly
substandard
two-car
garage.
So
that's
what's
reflected
in
your
plans
here
tonight.
The
architectural
review
committee
also
discussed
some
changes
to
the
roofline.
They
also
recommended
that
the
applicant
minimize
the
ramping
as
much
as
possible
and
still
be
able
to
provide
the
required
access.
J
The
project
was
redesigned
and
those
recommendations
were
implemented
and
the
Architectural
Review
Committee
heard
it
again
at
the
May
meeting.
The
same
commissioners
were
present
for
the
second
review.
There
was
considerable
discussion
at
that
time
about
the
roofline
of
the
house,
and
there
was
discussion
about
what
the
options
were,
what
the
patterns
were
within
the
neighborhood,
the
goals
that
the
applicant
had
for
the
project
and
quite
a
few
different
options
were
discussed
at
that
time.
So
the
applicant
has
come
back
with
a
design
that
meets
the
intention
of
that
discussion
there.
J
The
architectural
review
committee
meeting
the
applicant
has
also
incorporated
several
other
small
recommendations
and
kind
of
clarifications
on
the
plan
that
were
recommended
that
at
that
meeting,
as
well
staffs
of
the
courtesy
notice
to
the
neighbors
before
the
first
Architectural
Review
Committee
meeting,
we
did
not
receive
any
comments
and,
of
course,
we
also
sent
the
required
legal
notice
before
the
public
hearing
tonight.
So
we
have
not
received
any
comments
through
the
entire
process
for
this
project
in
regards
to
the
design
staff
does
find
that
the
project
conforms
with
the
residential
design
guidelines.
J
Additionally,
the
applicant
has
developed
a
landscaping
plan
with
the
intention
to
help
mask
the
ramp,
that's
located
at
the
front
of
the
house,
so
they've,
given
some
thought
and
consideration
into
the
kind
of
plants
that
would
grow
with
that
location
and
be
drought,
resistant
and
native
types
of
species,
as
well
as
grow
to
a
size
that
it
would
reduce
the
visibility
of
the
ramp.
That's
at
the
front
of
the
house
that
landscaping
plan
is
attached
to
your
staff
report
as
an
exhibit,
so
with
that
staff
would
recommend
approval
of
the
project.
J
There
is
one
condition,
that's
a
little
bit
outside
of
the
ordinary,
and
that
is
because
they
have
a
public
utility
easement
that
is
in
the
rear
of
their
property.
They
have
requested
permission
in
this
case
because
they
need
a
concrete
type
of
a
permanent
type
of
ramping
structure
and
patio
in
order
to
meet
the
kinds
of
the
needs
of
the
residents
that
will
be
living
there.
So
they've
requested
permission
to
have
that
ramp
and
patio
within
the
public
utility
easement
area.
J
They
have
received
permission
from
PG&E,
who
is
one
of
the
easement
holders
to
do
that,
and
so
there
are
two
conditions
of
approval
included
in
your
staff
report
that
address
the
proper
procedure
for
having
that
patio
in
ramp
within
that
easement
area
on
the
other
conditions
are
pretty
generally
standard
for
single-family
edition,
so
staff
would
recommend
approval
of
the
project
based
on
findings,
137
and
subject
to
the
conditions
of
approval,
12
27
and
the
staff
report
and
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
A
G
Religion
sure
you
do
believe
that
he
looks
so
familiar
to
me
because
I
believe
I
sat
on
this
at
one
point,
but
I'm
not
sure
I
just
make
sure
I
digs
I
just
look
at
who
was
president.
It's
not
a
big
deal,
but
it's
just
reminding
me
that
I
think
I
was
present
on
either
the
second
park
review.
It
must
have
been.
G
D
K
Name
is
a
Roger
Fuji
I'm,
the
owner
of
the
Cottonwood
property
that
you
see
in
front
of
you
and
Laura
mentioned.
The
intention
is
to
make
this
a
residential
care
facility
and
it's
going
to
be
licensed
for
non-ambulatory
patients
and
that's
partially.
The
reason
why
we
needed
to
add
an
extra
square
footage
for
the
wheelchairs,
as
well
as
ramping
around
the
sides,
and
we've
worked
extensively
with
Laura
with
my
architect
van
and
getting
the
landscaping
and
working
with
PG&E
to
get
that
utility
encroachment
approved
as
well.
K
A
D
K
K
K
It
will
be
if
we
do
one
of
the
homes
it'll
be
licensed
under
community
care
services.
However,
there's
also
an
option
that
we
can
be
licensed
under
the
Department
of
Health
Care
Services
for
six.
It
all
depends
on
where
we
are
in
the
stage
of
the
building
process.
There's
two
different
projects:
they're
trying
to
offer
me
right
now,
so
do.
A
C
Discussion
point:
you
know:
we've
looked
at
many
of
these
over
the
years
and
one
that
the
thing
is
that
I'm
not
surprised
that
we
don't
have
public
or
public
here
or
having
letters
simply
because
it
doesn't.
These
facilities
do
not
generate
traffic,
huge
traffic
and
at
one
point
there
was
such
a
concern
and
worry
about
the
impact
her
community
and
I
can
get
starting
to
realize
that
this
is
an
addition
and
to
a
community
rather
than
a
an
obstacle
and
I
basically
want
to
add
those
comments
and
I
just
support
the
project.
Thank
you.
A
C
D
G
B
Tape
which
one
I'd
be
glad
to
through
the
chair.
What
that
means
is
that
if
you
have
a
concern
or
if
somebody
else
has
a
concern
regarding
the
action
of
the
Planning
Commission,
they
can
file
an
appeal
through
our
city,
and
that
appeal
would
be
then
taken
to
the
City
Council
and
that
written
appeal
would
need
to
be
received
within
10
days.
A
Yeah
and
I'd,
like
just
like
to
echo
Commissioner,
chase
his
comments.
I
really
liked
what
you
guys
did
with
the
design
the
roofline
turned
out
very
nice
thing.
The
ramps
are
gonna.
Look
very
good!
Good
luck
to
you!
Congratulations!
Yeah!
Yeah!
You
guys
did
a
great
job.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
D
A
B
Our
associate
planner
Laura
was
promoted
to
senior
planner
and
with
that
promotion,
a
well-deserved
promotion
Laura
will
be
working
more
directly
in
terms
of
managing
the
current
planning
application,
so
working
even
more
closely
with
our
staff,
not
just
internally
within
our
department
but
within
other
departments,
kind
of
interacting
with
other
departments
to
better
assure
that
our
applications
go
through
smoothly
and
then
also
coordinating
and
representing
our
department
regionally
with
with
other
regional
groups.
So
congratulations
to
Laura
on
that
promotion
and
reclassification
it's
well-deserved.
B
The
other
modification
or
change
has
to
do
with
Mark
Sullivan
mark
Sullivan's
position
was
housing
and
redevelopment
manager
and,
as
you
know,
