We had the ir_correct impression that the Lot Grade �aas measured at the building 1.�_r_e, rather than at the property line. vJe are prevented from depressing the building into the ground any further, because the garage ramp slope would become too steep. The project is no different than when we originally sub- mitted it, and we would have asked for this permit at that time had we been a��are of this_nonconforming item. t��.� � c.._ <<,, r� � e i"r�,-, , I hope you �vill accept my apology for taking your time � unnecessarily, and I also hope you.will find this project as acceptable as before.

Frar�card's question, stai:ed that the creek is private. Respondinr to �1r. Sine's ques�:ions regardinc� a statement about dirt mounds covering the parking, I�fr. 4Joodson er,plained that the grade slopes evenly from the back o� the sidel-ralk up �:o the face of the building, providing an on-grade Wd1l;way or steps follo��ing the contour up to the building. The driveway, he stated, is circular because of the narro4r space betv�een the eucalypi;us trees. He noted there v�ould be little mounds with landscaping on the slope; no trees would be removed. C. Jacobs movcd the special permit be granted, noting the trees and the location> i.e., the creek and �rater table levels and the ingress and egress saiety. C. Mink seconded the motion and it carried unanimously upon a roll call vote (7-0). It Uras noted that this item could be appealed to the Council; however, if not appealed, it S�rould be effective I�ovember 8, 1977. �� 7.

GLYP��I (G4�lNER) (REF. ND-122P DATED 8/12_i77 Chm. Taylor read the item. C. P. Savan stuted that this item has basically ti�e same circumstances as Item �6.except there are no eucalyptus t��2es, and noted that the condominium permit plans satisfied zoning re;ulations and cla;med the buildirg would be 35 feet in height. Upon review of canstruciion plans the projeci:�,�as found�to be more than 35 feet in height. He reemnhasized tnat 55 feet is alloti�r<�d in R-3. (Ed. 75 feet is allo�ved in R-4.) He also noted that lo;:eri�,g of the building l��ould cause difficult entry to the lower level parl:ing�and ine ramp to the upper level would have a flatter yrade. He stated that the d�si�n being considered is the best one for the s�te and recommended app•roval of the special permit. Responding to C. Jacobs' request for further explanation of the problem ��itt� the driveti��ays, Mr. Woodson explaine.d that the problem t,ras mainly ��rith the slope of the driveway and he also irentioned a condition for flood cortrol on Bellevue Avenue which ti�ras placed on the condominium permit. Ne staied that in order co comply v�ith that condit�on the ground h�as been sloped up 6 inches higher than the back of the sidewalk ��rhich causes a loss in the length of the driveway, making the slope more severe. The design, he continued, was felt �:o be the most desirable in that the driveway is easier t� negotiate and safer. Chm. Taylor opened the public hearinq. There being no one 4vishing to speak and no correspondence, ihe public hearing �,�as closed. C. Sine moved that the special permit be granted, noting the facts presented during staff rev�ew. C. Cistulli seconded the motion and it carried unaniinously (7-0) upon a roll call vote. It ti�ras noted that the decision of the Con�mission would be effective November 8, 1977 unless appealed to the City Council. C. Kindig requested that staff ta�e necessary stcps io see that such misunderstandings do not occur again. Mr. Woodson apoloqi�ed for i:akinc� un the Commission`s time, emphasizing again �;hat it was not �n intentional mistake. Commission had a brief discussion about landscaping and some �;ype of assurance to the City that landscaping would �e installed as presented ard bond posted. It ��,�as decided that this is a just concern and soi>>ething to discuss at a future study meeting. �
