PRESENT• Annika M. Santalahti, Zoning Administrator Lori Duca, Assistant Planner Pamela Starnes, Secretary ITEM N0. 1 EIR CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION - CLASS 3 VARIANCE N0. 37.59__~READ_V_ERTISED) PUBLIC HEARING: OWNERS: MICHAEL B. ROACH AND KAREN Z. ROACH, 5885 Trapper Trail, Anaheim, CA 92807. AGENT: JIM YORK, CUSTOM HOME PLANNER, 1107 "E" Chapman, Orange, CA 92666. Subject property is an irregularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 3 acres having a frontage of approximately 508 feet on the east side of Overlook Terrace, having a maximum depth of approximately 490 feet and being located approximately 50 feet east of the centerline of Tuckaway Circle and further described as 6944 East Overlook Terrace. Waiver of maximum structural height to construct a two-story, 36 1/2-foot high, single-family residence. Continued from the meeting of February 25, 1988 to be readvertised. There were two people indicating their presence in opposition and three letters were received in opposition. David York, Agent, 1107 "E" Chapman, Orange, said the reason they were requesting the variance was the lot sits down from the street and noted the proposed structure rises approximately 17.5 feet above the road and the chimneys approximately 24 feet above the road. He noted they were actually requesting a 34 foot height waiver rather than 36 foot 6-inches. He said the flues count for 2~ of the roof area above 30 feet. He said the pad was an average of eight feet below the street (ranging from o at the north to about 16 feet a't the north end). Marilyn Whitman, 6945 E. Overlook Terrace, noted she and her husband were here for the meeting of February 25, 1988 and presented their case at that time. She said their lot was directly across the street from the proposed project. She stated they had taken into consideration that the lot across the street did sit down. She said they checked the height requirements at the time they purchased their lot and knew of the 25 foot height restriction and noted that was taken into consideration in the design of their house.. • • MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, MARCH 10, 1988 Page 2 She said they designed their kitchen and view windows on the southeast corner so they would have a view. She stated they knew they would lose the view of the lower portion of the hills but would still be able to have a beautiful view of the hills above as advertised in the brochures when they purchased their lot. She said if the house was built to almost three stories then they will definitely lose their view from those windows. Pamela Hale, 1175 S. Tuckaway, said she was one lot away from Overlook Terrace and her main concern was that the lot basically sits in front of four home sites and believed the requested variance height was excessive. She noted it was stated in the C.C. & R.'s that the height limit would be 25 feet, and in the marketing information that their views would be preserved because they did have a height limitation. She said their living room, dining room, and master bedroom all face that direction and their view would be obstructed. She stated that the variances should be looked at on an individual basis in that area as there are some lots that will not obstruct people's views. She said there was another lady planning to attend this hearing but her son had an accident and was in the hospital. Ms. Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, said there were three letters received in opposition. One from Sonja Grewal, one from Steve & Pamela Hale and one from Michael and Marilyn Whitman. She read the three letters and they are part of the permanent file. She said copies of the letters were available to anyone in the audience. She noted photographs were also included with one of the letters. Karen Roach, owner, said any home built on. that lot will obstruct the view and they will be looking at a roof whether it is 35 feet or 25 feet as their lot is 15 feet below the street line. She noted a large percentage of their proposed front yard is a circular driveway, so a large part of the view across their lot will be preserved. Michael Roach, owner, said if you look at the position of the Whitman house compared to their house you would see that the majority of. the Whitman house faces the view and they would have a very clear wide open view. He noted there is another lot at street level and when a house is built on that lot it will certainly block any view and is going to block the Whitman's view more than his house would. He said in addition there is another house going up (he believes on Lot 10) that is'at least 36 feet and no one has complained about it. He noted the second lady's house is considerably higher than the Whitman's to begin with, and feels there is no way his house would affect their view as any house built would obstruct the view. He noted there are a number of other houses in the area being built that required considerably higher variances of 35 and 37 feet and have single story houses across the street and had no problems getting a variance. He said their house will enhance the property values of any house around them. • • MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, MARCH 10, 1988 Page 3 Mr. York, noted that in the application they supplied a section which showed the view and said there is still a view left. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Ms. Santalahti, asked if the lot was at finished grade now or was additional grading planned that would either lower or raise the building pad. Applicant said the pad was at finished grade. Ms. Santalahti, said she had driven out and looked at the property from the neighbors point of view and from different street angles. She noted the applicant stated the pad was an average of eight feet below the street, although it goes from one extreme to another from end to end. Ms. Santalahti noted probably of all the variance lots she looked at yesterday, this was the lot that had the greatest number of neighbors around it, not only existing, but at least three people would be directly effected by the intrusion when they built in the future plus anyone driving along the street. She noted the other variances in the area basically affected the immediate neighbors and noted she was surprised at how massive some of the houses were. She noted an exhibit showing the grade of the lot relative to the grade of the street would have been very helpful. She said the exhibit would have plotted the neighbor's houses relative to this lot so that it was obvious what the actual angle of sight was because in a certain direction the' frontage appears to be fairly well blocked but when you look slightly more to the north it appears to be more open. She noted they did submit a section which shows the street level but the more important aspect is what the affect is specifically on the two neighbors opposite who are on the corners of Tuckaway Circle. She stated she is not overly concerned about a 30 foot height limitation except to the extent of the mass of the building as viewed from the closest house and the street, and that this project does have a fair amount of roof line at 30 feet, the chimneys she considered minor. She said she is really interested in the 30 foot ridgeline. She said before she acted on the variance she would like to see additional exhibits. One, an extension of the section they have to show the house across the street on the west side of Overlook Terrace and what the view is from the finished pad on that lot; and two, a simplified plot plan showing how the houses on the other property relate to the view across the proposed development. Jim York, Agent, said they would be happy to provide Ms. Santalahti with any additional information or exhibits she needed. He said he felt the most obvious thing would be to find the houses that were effected, to establish what the second floor line-of-sight would be, and what an eye level of an approximately six foot person would be able see from that point on all the lots that are involved. • • MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, MARCH 10, 1988 Page 4 Ms. Santalahti said she felt this would explain to anyone who is concerned what the actual physical extent of the construction would be if the variance is approved. She said this site is critical to several other properties and people who have purchased property have a right to expect certain standards. Ms. Santalahti said she would like Exhibit 5 modified to show the approximation of Mrs. Whitman's and Mrs. Hale's houses as well as the property recently developed on the southwest corner of Tuckaway Circle and Overlook Terrace, and would like the section extended to show Mrs. Whitman's house's (the northerly corner of Tuckaway Circle and Overlook Terrace) line-of-sight because she believes they are the ones, with the most similar grade level. Mr. York said they would provide that information within one week, March 17, 1988. Ms. Santalahti continued the item until March 24, 1988 and' noted there would be no other notice going out regarding that date and stated this would be the first item on that agenda. She said if the opposition would like to come in and view the plans ahead of time, they might want to call and verify they are here on March 17, 1988. ITEM N0. 2 FAMILY DAY CARE N0. 88-02: PUBLIC HEARINGS. APPLICANT: GLORIA AND LARRY CLEMENS, 1593 West Cerritos, Anaheim, California 92802. Subject property is a rectangularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 0.25 acre, having a frontage of approximately 60 feet on the north side of Cerritos Avenue,, having a maximum depth of approximately 185 feet and being located approximately 1400 feet west of the centerline of Euclid Street and further described as 1593 W. Cerritos Avenue. Petitioner requests a Large Family Day Care home for a maximum of 12 children under authority of State Government Code Section 1597.46 of the Health and Safety Code and Chapter 18.10 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. There were two people indicating their presence in opposition and three letters received in opposition. Mrs. Clemens presented four letters in support of her application; two from neighbors, and two from parents whose children are attending the day care facility. Ms. Santalahti noted we were having the public hearing as :there were three letters received in opposition to the request. She said basically under the State regulations, which the City has to follow in these cases if the person requesting this business meets the criteria set forth by the State and certain permissable City criteria, then the City cannot deny,the application. She noted if misinformation has been given on the application, then, of course, it could be denied. • • MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, MARCH 10, 1988 Page 5 She noted there was concern expressed by the Traffic Engineer on this item. She asked if the applicant had been given copies of the letters received in opposition and Brent Schultz, Assistant Planner, said yes. Ms. Santalahti said there were three letters received in opposition. One from Delilah Johnston, one from Harry & Anne Huff and one from Fae Sheplay. She read the three letters and they are part of the permanent file. She said copies of the letters were available to anyone in the audience. Ms. Santalahti said the City Traffic Engineer had reviewed the submitted plans and had not approved the vehicle loading/unloading area. Debbie Fank, Associate Traffic Engineer, said they needed a drop off area. She said the driveway area is only 11 feet wide and is only wide enough for one car. She said they need to have a paved area aside from the driveway where they could drop off children and two vehicles could pass each other. She noted they also needed a 25 foot back up space for the employee parking in the back. She noted they should also have a turnaround area for people dropping off their children. She said it needs to be designed so there is no dropping off or picking up of children from the street. Ms. Santalahti asked if there was any consideration or discussion given to having a circular loop driveway in the front yard for drop'off and pick up purposes. Ms. Fank said they could do that but thought the applicant wanted the front for a playground. Gloria Clemens said they had already received their day care license from the State of California, Department of Social Services, for the 12 children. She noted they needed the license for 12 children because they had six children of their own. She said they take pride in their home and have been in the process of upgrading it. She said the only way they could make the driveway so two cars could pass would be to cut down the trees and shrubs growing along side the driveway. She submitted photographs of her house showing the play area, driveway, etc. She felt her backyard area, that was covered with gravel, would be an easy place for someone to turnaround. She said they want to be good neighbors. Larry Clemens said he would continue to improve and upgrade their house and property. He said they could take out some of the shrubs so two cars could pass each other. Ms. Santalahti asked if the support letters were from their neighbors to the east and west and applicant said yes. Fae Sheplay, with ERA Real Estate who owns two homes in the area, said the homes range from $150,000 to $250,000 so it can be considered an above average neighborhood. She said advertising a business in that neighborhood would take • ~ MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, MARCH 10, 1988 Page 6 away from it being as choice area and was not in the best interest of the neighborhood. She stated Cerritos is a busy street and used by students driving to and from Loara High School. She noted the pick up and delivery of children at the day care center would add to the traffic congestion. She said she was mainly concerned about the property values of the area.. Harry Huff, 1590 Cerritos, said he was opposed to a commercial business being allowed in a residential area as well as the effect it would have on the value of property in the neighborhood. He also expressed concern about traffic congestion on Cerritos. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED: Ms. Santalahti restated her earlier comment regarding the fact the State of California regulates day care centers and establishes the criteria which the City must follow for up to 12 children and noted the City did not have the option of denying the application if those criteria are met. She said the City was permitted to enact an ordinance to establish certain standards for this type of operation. She stated one of the issues was picking up and dropping off children in a safe manner. She said she had looked at the site and noticed how the street narrowed down. She said she agreed with the traffic engineer's concerns. She asked the applicants if they would consider the possibility of constructing a circular driveway in the front and they said yes. She asked the opposition if they wished to make any comments regarding the circular driveway and they~did not. Ms. Santalahti said .she would approve the application for the family day care center with a condition which requires that within a period of sixty (60) days from the date of this decision, an on-site vehicle•turn-around area shall be provided for off-street passenger loading and unloading. Said area shall be set back a minimum of ten (10) feet from the front property line and shall consist of a minimum twenty (20) foot wide by nineteen (19) foot deep area with a minimum twenty five (25) foot back up space, which space may include the existing driveway, as shown in red on the approved Exhibit No. l: Said turn-around area shall be either paved or graveled to prevent dust. Alternatively, the applicant may provide a paved or graveled loop driveway to Cerritos Avenue. Ms. Santalahti asked Debbie Fank if this would take care of the concerns expressed by the traffic engineer and she said yes. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Zoning Administrator may appeal such decision to the City Council, tendering the applicable appeal fee to the City Clerk's Office within twenty-two days following the date of this decision. Said permit shall not be deemed final, and permittee shall not be authorized to engage in the use granted by said permit, until the expiration of said twenty-two day appeal period. • • MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, MARCH 10, 1988 Page 7 ITEM N0. 3 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION-CLASS 3 VARIANCE N0. 3761 PUBLIC HEARING. OWNERS: HAROLD ABEDOR AND JOAN DEAN ABEDOR, 2114 Spring Oak, Yorba Linda, California 92686. Subject property is an irregularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 0.5 acre located at the terminus of Hummingbird Circle, having a frontage of approximately 70 feet on the north side of Hummingbird Circle, having a maximum depth of approximately 221 feet and being approximately 1200 feet northeast of the centerline of Fairmont Boulevard and further described as 7485 Hummingbird Circle. Waiver of maximum structural height to construct a 40-foot high, single-family residence. No one indicated their presence in opposition, however, two letters were received in opposition. Harold.Abedor said they were asking for a height variance for the roof line of about 34 1/2 feet. He noted the ,lot sat up on a plateau which is about 25 feet above street level. He said there was an ugly electrical power pole to the east which would be partially hidden by a house 34 1/2 feet in height from the westerly view. He noted the house was an English Tudor design which would be an enhancement to the neighborhood. Ms. Santalahti read letters received in opposition from Sonja Grewal and Ann Bien, and they are part of the permanent file. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED: Ms. Santalahti asked applicant if grading was complete and he said yes. She asked what the setback was from the back of the house to the deep slope going to Mohler Drive and applicant noted it was a narrow lot and he thought the setback was about 30 feet. He said the house sets back from Fairmont almost two city blocks. Ms. Santalahti noted the house was in a relatively isolated location. Mr. Abehor said the developer he purchased the property from was happy he was going to build this type of house because it would help to hide the utility towers. He said this was one reason there was no opposition from people on the street. He stated the angle the house sits on the lot. actually hides its height. Ms. Santalahti approved the variance as requested because the greatest amount of elevation or facade was on an angle away from the street and you wouldn't see the widest side of the house as you would from a more easterly view, and the fact that property was substantially elevated above Hummingbird Lane. She said it was also located next to a major Southern California Edison Company easement on the northwest. • • MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, MARCH 10, 1988 Page 8 She noted the proposal was categorically exempt. This decision shall become final unless an appeal to the City Council, in writing, accompanied by an appeal fee, is filed with the City Clerk within 15 davs of the date of the signing of this decision or unless a member of the City. Council shall request to review this decision within said 15 days. ITEM N0. 4 EIR CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION-CLASS 3 VARIANCE N0. 3762 PUBLIC HEARING. OWNERS: OSCAR F. MARTIN AND BARBARA J. MARTIN, 6949 Avenida De Santiago, Anaheim, California 92807. Subject property~is an irregularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 1.6 acres, having a frontage of 125 feet on the north side of Tamarisk Drive, having a maximum depth of approximately 542 feet and being located approximately 750 feet southeast of the centerline of Avenida De Santiago and further described as 1160 East Tamarisk Drive. Waiver of maximum structural height to construct a 30-foot, 6-inch high., single-family residence. No one indicated their presence in opposition, however one letter was received in opposition from Sonja Grewal, and was made a part of the permanent file. Oscar Martin noted that a similar request had been granted on Lot 4 just to the east of this project. He said they sit on a ridge, there is no house across the stret and they really don't obstruct anyones view. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: Ms. Santalahti asked if the grading of the lot was complete at this time and the applicant said yes. She asked if anyone could build across the street and applicant said no. Ms. Santalahti said she would approve this application because the major portion of the roof line (about 75~ - 90~) was at about 26 feet which is a minor deviance from Code. She noted this was Categorically Exempt. This decision shall become final unless an appeal to the City Council, in writing, accompanied by an appeal fee, is filed with the City Clerk within 15 davs of the date of the signing of this decision or unless a member of the City Council shall. request to review this decision within said 15 days. ITEM N0. 5 EIR CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION-CLASS 3 VARIANCE N0. 3763 PUBLIC HEARING. OWNERS: BENJAMIN FISHER AND MARILYN R. FISHER, 241 Calle Da Gama, Anaheim, California 92807. Subject property is on an irregularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 1.2 acres located at the northeast corner of Tamarisk Drive and Avenida de De Santiago, having a frontage of approximately 338 feet on the north side of Tamarisk Drive and a frontage of 75 feet on the east side of Avenida De Santiago, and further described as 6900 East Avenida De Santiago. • • MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, MARCH 10, 1988 Page 9 Waiver of maximum structural height to construct a 32-foot high single-family residence. No one indicated their presence in opposition, however, one letter was received in opposition from Sonja Grewal, and was made a part of the permanent file. Benjamin Fisher said he inteded to live in the house and noted 80~ of the roof line is below 25 feet and only 4~ above 30 feet. He said Mr. Robertson, his architect, would answer any questions. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED: Ms. Santalahti asked if lot was at finished grade and Mr. Robertson said yes. She asked if they had discussed or shown the proposal to existing neighbors and he said no. He noted, however, the neighbors to the northwest are 10 to 15 feet higher than street level and their view orientation seems to be across the valley to the north as opposed to across the proposed project. Ms. Santalahti asked Lori Duca, Assistant Planner, if we had heard from any of the neighbors and she said no. Ms. Santalahti approved the variance as the structural height of that portion of the roof and a chimney will have a minimal effect on nearby properties because the longest axis of the proposed house is oriented so as to minimally obstruct the views from nearby lots and that nearby lot grades are typically 7 to 17 feet higher or lower than subject property; and because the 6-foot high wall protrudes less than 2 feet into the 25-foot deep front yard. She noted this item was Categorically Exempt. This decision shall become final unless an appeal to the City Council, in writing, accompanied by an appeal fee, is filed with the City Clerk within 15 davs of the date of the signing of this decision or unless a member of the City Council shall request to review this decision within said 15 days. ITEM N0. 6 EIR CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION-CLASS 3 VARIANCE NO. 3764 PUBLIC HEARING. OWNERS: ARTHUR E. O'MALLEY AND BARBARA A. O'MALLEY, 6811 Avenida De Santiago, Anaheim, CA 92807. Subject property is on an irregularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 2 acres, having a frontage of approximately.180 feet on the east side of Avenida de Santiago, having a maximum depth of approximately 342 feet and being located approximately 480 feet southwest of the centerline of Tamarisk Drive and further described as 6810 East Avenida De Santiago. Waiver of maximum structural height to construct a two-story, 31.5 foot high, single-family residence. n ~. • ~ MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, MARCH 10, 1988 Page 10 No one indicated their presence in opposition, however, one letter was received in opposition from Sonja Grewal, and was made a part of the permanent file. Oscar Martin said this was located about six lots from the one just discussed and noted it was the highest lot. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED: Ms. Santalahti noted this item was Categorically Exempt. She said she would approve this variance because the waiver requested was minimal in that the 31 1/2 foot height was for the two chimneys and the height of the highest roof ridgeline of the house was only 27 1/2 feet. This decision shall become final unless an appeal to the City Council, in writing, accompanied by an appeal fee, is filed with the City Clerk within 15 days of the date of the signing of this decision or unless a member of the City Council shall request to review this decision within said 15 days.
