PRESENT• Annika M. Santalahti, Zoning Administrator Della Files, Associate Planner Margarita Solorio, Acting Secretary Pat Koral, Acting Secretary Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, explained the procedures for the meeting and that anyone desiring to speak about matters other than the agendized items would have the opportunity to be heard at the end of the meeting. ITEM NO. 1 - CEQA CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION CLASS 3, VARIANCE NO. 4138 PUBLIC HEARING: OWNERS: Henry and Sandy Jo, 249 East Borromeo, Placentia, CA 92670. AGENT: Inland Design, Inc., 954 West Foothill Blvd. Ste. B, Upland, CA 91786. Subject property is an irregularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 0.98 acre located at the southern terminus of Old Ranch Road, having a frontage of approximately 110 feet on the southeast side of Old Ranch Road, having a maximum depth of approximately 285 feet, being located approximately 300 feet south of the centerline of Country Hill Road, and further described as 530 South Old Ranch Road. Waiver of maximum structural height to construct a 3-story single-family residence. Continued from the September 5 and October 3, 1991 public meetings for the applicant to look at possibly revising the plans closer to Code standards and to meet with the neighbors regarding that. Steve Falk, architect for the project, 954 W. Foothill Blvd., Upland 91786, stated that he noticed in staff report item 7, page 2, it stated they had only reduced the height by one foot but they have lowered the house from 5 to 7 feet and part of the house is basement below grade. The ridgeline is anywhere from 25 to 30 feet. Ms. Santalahti asked, "Are you saying that the maximum ridgeline height is from 25 to 30 feet"? "Mr. Falk replied "correct". Mr. Falk stated he believed that he had discussed the method of measuring the height with the Zoning Administrator. Ms. Santalahti replied that one of the difficulties staff has is that when incomplete information is given on the plans, staff has is to make the best guess as to what the height actually is. • MINUTES ZONING ADMINISTRATOR OCTOBER 17 1991 PAGE 1 Ms. Santalahti stated that what is really helpful to her is to be able to look at good drawings to clearly understand proposed building heights and that two types of drawings should be submitted. She said height is measured above ground level directly down as a plumb bob would drop and it is really helpful that a roof plan be provided showing all the areas that are over 25 and 30 feet high, and using colors to outline those areas. She said the 2nd kind of drawing is either sections or elevations showing by color. or clear lines how building levels change. Mr. Falk asked,"How should we come back?" Ms. Santalahti replied she wants a drawing or drawings for the neighbors to look at, including a roof plan and/or a drawing showing the height from the ground underneath when the roof height is higher than 25 and 30 feet. She noted that the percentages of those higher areas should be calculated relative to the total footprint of the building because Code lets you go from 25 to 30 feet for approximately 10~. The really difficult decisions are the proposals that are very close to Code, while 43 ft. high proposals are easy to deny. She asked of Mr. Falk if he can provide a drawing like she's described? Mr. Falk replied yes, and asked when would be the next meeting be. Ms. Santalahti replied Nov. 14, 1991. Mr. Falk asked if there is a letter of .opposition he could have a copy? Ms. Santalahti replied that any letters that have been received are public record and a copy would be provided by staff. Ms. Santalahti asked if there was anyone else who would like to speak. Ms Santalahti said the public hearing would be continued and she is looking at continuing the item for four weeks until November 14 for the petitioner to provide additional information as she has described today so perhaps a person who is ignorant about drawings can understand what they are looking at. She continued the petition to November November 14, 1991, and noted this petition will probably be the first item on the agenda. • MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, OCTOBER 17, 1991 PAGE 2 ITEM NO. 2 - INFORMATIONAL ITEMS: None. ITEM NO. 3 - ITEMS OF PUBLIC INTEREST: There was no one indicating a desire to speak. Ms. Files stated there will be no meeting on the next scheduled meeting of October 31, 1991 and the next meeting will be November 14, 1991. She said staff will place an agenda on the Council Chamber door at that time listing one administrative adjustment, in other words, there will be an agenda on October 31st but no public meeting.
