REGULAR ACTION ITEMS 3. 62 LOMA VISTA DRIVE, ZONED R-1 — APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW FOR A NEW, TWO- STORY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND DETACHED TWO-CAR GARAGE (JACK CHU, CHU DESIGN & ENGR. INC., APPLICANT AND DESIGNER; CHIN-SHUI CHANG, PROPERTY OWNER) PROJECT PLANNER: RUBEN HURIN (RESUBMITTAL OF A PROJECT WHICH WAS DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE) Reference staff report dated August 27, 2007, with attachments. Community Development Director Meeker presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Twelve (12) conditions were suggested for consideration. Chair Deal opened the public hearing. Rico Huo represented the applicant. Was present when prior application considered by the Commission and heard comments from this earlier review. Brought a color elevation to better illustrate the proposed design. Described specific changes to project. Commission comments: • Complimented the design. ■ In bedroom 3, no window is shown on the front elevation. There is an error on the elevation as reflected on page A-4 of the plans (a window is shown); though would like a street-facing window in bedroom 3, with two windows (side-by-side or other arrangement) that are each of a similar dimension to the window over the entryway. ■ Install a remote-controlled electric gate in the driveway. ■ On the landscape plan, Australian Bushberry is not a good choice, can get diseased, should consider another species. ■ Asked if a false stack is necessary for the direct vent fireplace. ■ Discussed the second-floor plate height. ■ Encouraged use of a permeable surface paving system for the driveway. ■ On the south elevation, the corbels seem gratuitous; don't necessarily add anything. 2
