PUBLIC HEARTNG - APPEAL OF HTLLSIDE AREA CONSTRUCTION PERMIT AND VARIANCE TO REAR SETBACK FOR ADDITION AT 3096 RIVERA DRIVE R ESOL UT ION 7 4-92 - APPROVING SAIVIE city Pl-anner revj-ewed her memo of August 10 hrhich recornmendedcouncil hold a public hearing and take action. Ronald Perner,architect and Renato and Beverly Tuccori, property owners, arerequesting a hillside area construction perrnit and rear setback variance in order to expand their house at 3096 Rj-vera. They wish to enclose a 153 square foot area under an existing eave atthe front of the house, making it a part of the adjacent room andthey also want a rear setback variance for six feet where 15 feet are required to retain a 547 square foot patio cover builtseveral years ago without a building perrnit. The Planning Cornmission approved these requests at its rneeting of July 27 andthat decision rr/as appealed by attorney Norman Book on behal-f of a neighbor at 161,0 Hunt Drive. she distributed a new copy of plan since the dj-mensions were wrong on the plan sent to council withthe staff report. She also noted attorney Book said there was anerror in his letter regarding required setbacks for the property at 1610 Hunt. Councilwoman Knight asked about the hazard created by debris inthe yard at 1610 Hunt. Mayor Pagliaro asked if this appeal wasonly to consider the patio cover; staff responded the appeal- must be for the entire project. Mayor Pagliaro opened the public hearing. Ronald Perner, archi.tect, responded to points from attorney Bookr s letter dated August 7r' the earlier variance for fence height was allowed because a five foot fence would not provide for safety around the pool; the Tuccorirs purchased the home in 427 L983, after the fence and pool were built; the applicants at- tempted to grow trees and shrubs to give privacy to their yardbut because of the poor drainage on that property line all theplants died, the only alternative for them is the patio covericorrugated plastic is an acceptable material for patio coveraccording to building departrnent; he requested approval. Ken Sirnoncini, attorney for the applicant, said variance from 1977 and t978 for fence around pool was for safetyi privacy issueis severe need because the house at 1610 Hunt is 50 feet abovegrade; the variance is also to the neighborts advantage; there isa hardship because the appticants cannot fully use their property as the neighbor tooks into all the rear rooms; front of house isnot trul-y on Rivera; debris in the back yard of 1610 Hunt is a nuisance; materj-al used for patio cover is acceptable to city; he urged approval . BeverLy Tuccori, owner of 3096 Rivera, said the architect has drawn plans for the patio cover to meet city requirernents; theexceptional height of the house at 1610 Hunt alloers for noprivacy in her home, six r^rindows look down into her horne I she needs the variance for her mental health. Councilwoman OtMahony asked Tuccori to describe her vi-erri before the house at 16L0 Hunt was built; Tuccori said before the house there was open park 1and. PUBLIC HEARING SECOND READ ING ORDINANCE 14 69 REVISING SEVJER RATES AND CHARGES Publ-ic Works Director reviewed his meno of Jul-y 29 which recom- mended council hold a pubtic hearing and adopt thj-s ordj-nancerevising sewer rates. EPA regulations require that operation andmaintenance costs for the sewer treatment plant be paid from the se$/er rate and it specifies the method of calculating that rate based on flow and loading. For the deterrnination of the rate,the revenue required was reduced by the estimated amount to bereceived from Burlingane Hill-s and Hillsborough based on agree- ments with those entitj-es, and their respective flows and load-ings were removed from the program. The proposed rates shor^r anincrease from 16 percent to 48 percent; for single farnily resi- Leon Delgrand, 1625 Hunt, lived across the street from both homes, he had lived there for 25 years and seen three farniliesLive at 3096 Rivera; none of the previous owners keep the proper- ty as well as the Tuccorirsl the patio cover is such an insignif-icant issue, any tine you live down hill frorn others you needprivacy, people above at 161-0 Hunt have the vj-ew; before L61o Hunt $ras bui1t, the Tuccoris had the park for a neighbor. Norman Book, attorney representing owner of 1610 Hunt, said hisclient is not challenging the patio cover issue except that hethinks the cover could be buitt within city ordinances; hisclient was assured when he bought the property he lrou1d have open space between propertj-es; his client would like the patio cover shortened to l-0 feet from the si-de and rear property line; thatproperty already has several variances granted to it. Mayor Pagliaro closed the public hearing. Councilnan Harrison said it could be no worse looking down on thepatio cover than looking at all the debris in the 1610 yard; he noved to uphold the Planning Conmj,ssion decision includingconditions in staff report. Seconded by Councilwoman Knight whosaid the irnpact of looking down on the Tuccori lot is not asgreat as the Tuccoris looking up to Fried; think there are excep-tional circumstances in the extreme height of the 1610 Hunt housegiven the change in grade; no distant views are lost; would be ad.vantageous to both partiest privacy. Council members agreed; house at 1610 Hunt has an exceptional view; having a front setback on both streets is disadvantage for 3096 Rivera; 1610 looms over their house; this project woul-d not be detrimentat toneighbors; seeing house at L6l,o Hunt shows a good example of why councj-I passed the hillside ordinance. The motion carried unanimously on ro11 caLl vote. 428 dential the increase is 18 percent. This year, instead of a I^rinter/sunmer rate, the rate is proposed to be based on hrinter rnonths of January to April. The charge wil,I be the same each month based on the average water use during those rnonths. Wecontinue to have one of the lowest rates as cornpared to othercities . Mayor Pagliaro opened the public hearing. A representative of apartnent dwellers wondered about the legali-ty of irnposing such a great increase on apartnent dweJ.lers, cityis discrininating against apartment dwellers; council and staffexplained nethods of calculating rates for single family, mutti-family and businessesr' fornula also includes payment for debt ofrnodifications in the sewer treatnent plant on the bayfront. Councilwoman Knight asked about increases for Hill-sboroughi staffsaid that rate is sirnilar to the Burlingame Hills rate. Mayor Pagliaro cl-osed the hearing.
