Item # 'S
Design Review Study
Address: 1521 Drake Avenue Meeting Date: 2/9/04
Request: Design review and special permit for a new two-story single family dwelling and detached garage.
Applicants and Property Owners: Mark and Sheila Buran APN: 026-033-060
Architect: Randy Grange, TRG Architects Lot Area: 6000 SF
General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1
Summary: The applicant is proposing to demolish an existing single-story house, detached garage and shed to
build a new two-story single family dwelling and detached two-car garage. The applicant is also proposing a 723
SF basement at the rear of the house. Because the finished floor above the basement is less than two feet above
existing grade, 700 SF of the basement area is exempt from the floor area calculation (CS 25.08.265, b, 2 and b,
3, E). A special permit is required for a basement with a ceiling height greater than 6'-6" (CS 25.28.035, fl.
With the basement and covered porch exemptions, the proposed house and detached garage will have a total floor
area of 3,339 SF (0.56 FAR) where 3,420 SF (0.57 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The project includes a
detached two-car garage (434 SF, 20'-8"W x 21'-0"D) which provides two covered parking spaces for the
proposed four-bedroom house (the den on the first floor is considered a bedroom for parking calculation
purposes). All other zoning code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following:
Design review for a new two-story single family dwelling and detached two-car garage (CS 25.57.010);
and
• Special permit for a new basement with an interior ceiling height greater than 6'-6" (8'-0" proposed)

diameter plum tree, located in the easement behind this property, is a city-owned tree and will be removed soon
due to poor health and structure.
