Summary: On March 27, 2006, the Planning Commission approved an application for design review for a new two-story single family dwelling with detached garage at1456 Bernal Avenue, zoned R-1 (March 27, 2006, Planning Commission Minutes). A building permit was issued on June 30, 2006, and construction is underway. The applicant is now proposing to remove the crown moulding under the eaves on both the first and second floors (see Proposed Elevations, date stamped January 25, 2007). The contractor submitted a letter, dated January 30, 2007, stating that there is a difficulty in installing the crown moulding under the eaves because of the 1 x 4 siding on top of the windows which creates no space between the top of the siding to the bottom of the eave. He also states that if the Commission decides that the crown moulding must be installed, they will run the crown moulding on top of the 1 x 4 siding, but that they don't believe that makes sense. The design of the new single family dwelling and detached garage, other than the removal of the crown moulding, remains unchanged. A copy of the originally approved and proposed building elevations (date stamped January 25, 2007) are included for your review. Planning staff would note that because of the minor revision concerning the removal of the crown moulding, it was determined that the project could be reviewed by the 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.

SB. 1456 BERNAL AVENUE, ZONED R-1— APPLICATION FOR DESIGN REVIEW FOR A NEW TWO- STORY SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING AND DETACHED GARAGE. (TONY LEUNG, APPLICANT AND PROPERTY OWNER; AND JAMES CHU, DESIGNER) ( 66 NOTICED) PROJECT PLANNER: ERICA STROHMEIER Reference staff report March 27, 2006, with attachments. Plr Hurin presented the report, reviewed criteria and staff comments. Fifteen conditions were suggested for consideration. CP Monroe received clarification from the designer noting that the roof over the bay window at the living room will be copper, condition #1 will be amended to reflect this clarification. Chair Auran opened the public hearing. Tony Leung, applicant and property owner, was available to answer questions. Mary Frances Nappi, 1452 Bernal Avenue, noted that she met with the applicant to discuss the issues listed in her letter dated March 27, 2006, feel that the issues about retaining and protecting the existing hedge and ivy at the property line can be worked out with the applicant; there is no agreement about the proposed balcony at the rear of the house, would lilce to see a decorative wrought iron balcony off the master bedroom instead of a full balcony, feel privacy will be lost with a full balcony, will leave it up to the Commission for direction on the balcony. Applicant noted that he would like to have the balcony as proposed since it will add value to the property. Commission noted that the freestanding trellises, as requested by the neighbor, would help to provide privacy to the neighbor's rear yard and pool. There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed. Commission discussion: Commission should not get involved with the trellises, this should be worked out between the applicant and neighbor, concern about drainage will be addressed by the Public Works Department at time of building permit submittal, should add a condition for protection of the existing hedge and ivy in the neighbor's yard.
