Summary: On September 24, 2007, the Planning Commission approved an application for Design Review and Variances for front setbacks and lot coverage for a second story addition to an existing single family dwelling at 1315 Edgehill Drive, Zoned R-1 (September 24, 2007, Planning Commission Minutes). On May 27, 2008, an FYI application for clarification of on-site landscaping was reviewed and accepted by the Planning Commission. Construction is now nearing completion. The approved plans included changing the siding of the existing single-car detached garage, from horizontal wood to cedar shingle, to match the design of the house (see originally approved building elevations of the house, dated September 10, 2007). The existing detached garage is in poor condition. Therefore, the property owner would like to renovate or rebuild the garage in the future when additional funds are available to him. Currently, the property owner is in the process of refinancing his current loan and would like to cash out in order to help pay for rebuilding the garage. However, the property owner notes in his letter dated November 16, 2009, that the refinance and cash out will be completed approximately 90 days after all City divisions approve their final inspections (bank requires that all permits be finaled prior to completing the refinance). Because it would not be sensible to re-side an existing garage that is in poor condition and which may be replaced in the near future, the property owner is requesting that the Planning Commission accept his request to retain the existing horizontal wood siding on the detached garage (see attached letter dated November 16, 2009). Other than the proposed changes described above, there are no other changes proposed to the design of the house. Planning staff would note that because of this minor revision, it was determined that the project could be reviewed by the Planning Commission as an FYI item. 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.
