ITEM N0. 1 EIR CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION-CLASS 5 AND VARIANCE N0. 3659 PUBLIC HEARING. OWNER: KEITH JOHN HULTQUIST AND MARLENE MARIE HULTQUIST, 1225 Andrea Lane, Anaheim, CA 92807. AGENT: BLUE RIBBON BUILDERS, INC., 1135 W. Katella, Orange, CA 92667, ATTN: LYNN NEALE. Property is a rectangularly-shaped parcel of land consisting of approximately 4,908 square feet, having a frontage of approximately 50 feet on the west side of Andrea Lane, approximately 350 feet north of the centerline of La Palma Avenue and further described as 1225 Andrea Lane. Request for waivers of maximum lot coverage and maximum number of bedrooms to construct a second-story addition to a single-family residence. Continued from the meetings of May 21, in order to be readvertised with the correct hearing time and for the applicant to be present to answer questions and from June 4, 1987, in order for the applicant to submit revised plans. Annika Santalahti, Zoning Administrator, explained this matter was continued from the meeting of June 4, 1987, in order for the architect to review the plans to determine if they could be revised to lessen the 'impact of the addition over the patio area. Perry Hanstad, builder, stated a concern regarding the rear of the structure extending into the 20-foot setback was discussed at the last meeting. He stated that neighbor has a 2-story addition within 10 feet of the rear property line and he feels denying this request would be denying one property owner the right to do something that another property owner can do. He stated the owner wants to proceed with the submitted plans, but that the window could be changed. ~' /f • • MINUTES, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, JUNE 18, 1987 Page - 2 Ms. Santalahti stated she did review an aerial photograph dated December 1986 which showed almost the entire block and most of the properties are rectangularly-shaped and appear to have rear setbacks of about 15 feet rather than 10 or 20 feet; and that the property to the south, off„the cul-de-sac of Andrea and Woodsboro, has a different requirement since it ;is not rectangularly-shaped. Mr. Hanstad stated this lot is small and the only other choice the owner has is to move. Joe Bueno, 1217 N. Andrea Lane, stated there are reasons for having codes and restrictions and he thought they should be enforced. He stated this addition is rather large when compared to the lot size. Mr. Hanstad stated following the last meeting, the neighbor put up a "for sale" sign and kie feels this addition will decrease his property value. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Ms. Santalahti stated she reviewed the aerial photograph in relationship of this structure to the property on the south to see how the buildings would relate to one another and the closest properties appear to have building setbacks of about 15 feet and subject property is setback about 20 feet and is inset from the neighbor to the north. She stated the aeria'1 photograph re-enforced her opinion that this request should be approved in part, denying waiver (a) for maximum lot coverage, thereby requiring 35$ permitted, and approving waiver (b) in part, permitting four bedrooms, rather than the five proposed. She explained from looking at the plans, eliminating that one bedroom would bring the plan into conformance with the 35$,'lot coverage requirement. She stated Condition No. 1 would also be modified to read: "1. That subject property shall be developed substantially in accordance with plans and specifications on file with the City of Anaheim marked Exhibit Nos. 1 and 2; provided, however, that a minimum fifteen (15) foot building setback shall be maintained from the rear (west) property line, that lot coverage shall not exceed 35$ and that only 4 bedrooms are permitted. Revised plans showing said increased setback, maximum 35$ lot coverage and 4 bedrooms shall be submitted in connection with the building permit." Ms. Santalahti explained if the owner goes ahead with construction based on this approval, a minimum 15-foot setback will have to be maintained, and that it appears all the rectangular lots have approximately 15 foot setbacks and if the lot coverage is kept at 35$, the 15-foot setback would be acceptable. She added there are no variances approved in that area and that the aerial photograph referred to showed the entire block. Mr. Hanstad stated the neighbor has a 10-foot setback. Ms. Santalahti stated any lots in the neighborhood which arse not rectangularly-shaped would have different requirements. -2- ., f • ~ ..
