SUBJECT: FYI — REVIEW OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO A PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
DESIGN REVIEW PROJECT AT 1428 VANCOUVER AVENUE, ZONED R-1.
Summary: An application for Design Review for a new, two-story single family dwelling and
detached garage at 1428 Vancouver Avenue, zoned R-1, was approved by the Planning
Commission on January 27, 2014 Consent Calendar (see attached January 27, 2014 Planning
Commission Meeting Minutes). A building permit was issued in June, 2014 and construction is
underway.
The applicant is requesting approval of an FYI to change the originally approved office/guest
room to a living room with a fireplace. The proposed revision includes replacing a window along
the left side of the house with a chimney and a smaller window (see attached explanation letter
and revised building elevations, date stamped November 6, 2014).
The architect submitted plans showing the originally approved and proposed building elevations,
date stamped November 6, 2014, to show the changes to the previously approved design
review project.
Other than the changes detailed in the applicant's letter and revised plans, there are no other
changes proposed to the design of the house. If the Commission feels there is a need for more
study, this item may be placed on an action calendar for a second review and/or public hearing
with direction to the applicant.

To whom it may concern,
We are proposing to make the following modifications to the previously approved plans of the single
family home at 1428 Vancouver Avenue. Permit Number B14-0061.
- On the 15t level, we are proposing to make the room listed as "Office/Guest Bedroom #1" more
of a living room. As such, we felt it would be more appropriate to have a fireplace located in
this room. We are proposing to add a fireplace and relocate the window to the side of the
fireplace.

The proposed modifications are shown in the attached drawings.
