Acting Chair Keighran noted that there were two letters regarding the project at 1320 Skyview Drive at the Commissioner's desks this evening. She asked if anyone in the audience or on the Commission wished to call any item off the consent calendar. There were no requests. However commission asked the CE if it was within City guidelines to relocate the driveway for this corner property onto Skyview, the CE responded yes. The CA asked if provisions had been made to preserve the trees noted in the letter.

Applicant and Architect: John Matthews Architects Property Owners: Samuel and Elaine Wong General Plan: Low Density Residential APN: 027-201-260 Lot Area: 7,150 SF Zoning: R-1 History: In August, 2000, the Planning Commission denied without prejudice an application for design review for a first and second story addition (August 14, 2000 P.C. Minutes). The project was also reviewed by a design review consultant, who recommended that the project be approved (June 26, 2000 memo). In their denial without prejudice, the Planning Commission noted that the August 2000 project was different and had no character, the entrance was large on Kip Lane, and that it would change the look of the neighborhood. The Commission also commented that the garage should comply with current code requirements (20' x 20' clear area), that the house should take advantage of the slope on the lot, that a split level design should be considered with the garage below the living room, and that in the design the mass of the building was not dealt with in a proper way. The Commission suggested that the applicant should respect the existing style of the house and should carefully consider the window and eave detail. The property owners and a new architect re-evaluated the project and now have submitted revised plans in response to the Planning Commission's concerns (plans date stamped May 9, 2001). The applicant also submitted a preliminary landscape plan (sheet L-1) for your review . Summary: The existing single -story house is on a corner lot (Skyview Drive and Kip Lane) which slopes upward from Skyline Drive and contains 2,535 SF of floor area (0.35 FAR), including an attached double -car garage, a 419 SF trellis (to be removed), with three bedrooms. The applicant is proposing a 199 SF first floor addition, a new 968 SF second story, and a 1,140 SF basement (not included in floor area ratio), increasing the floor area of the remodeled house to 3,104 SF (0.43 FAR), and four bedrooms. As part of the project, the applicant is proposing to convert the existing garage, which now faces Skyview Drive, into a family room. A new attached two -car garage is proposed on Kip Lane, below the main floor of the house. The proposed attached garage meets the definition of a basement under the previous code, and therefore is not included in the floor area of the house. This application was submitted before the effective date (March 24, 2001) of the new requirements for including basement areas in FAR calculations. The basement level also contains a wine cellar, storage room, and exercise room, all of which do not qualify as bedrooms. The proposed garage measures 20'-0"W x 26'-6" D (clear interior dimensions) and provides two covered parking spaces for the four bedroom house, where two parking spaces are required (one of which must be covered). The applicant is requesting the following: • Design Review for a first and second story addition (C.S. 25.57.010, d & e); and 0 Special Permit for an attached two -car garage (C.S. 25.28.035, 1).
