Summary: On February 24, 2003, the Planning Commission approved by consent calendar a design review application for a new, two-story single family and detached garage, zoned R-1 (February 24, 2003, Planning Commission Minutes). A building permit for this project has not yet been issued. In a letter, dated October 28, 2003, the designer notes that the location of the furnace and water heater was overlooked and not included in the plans while designing the project. The designer is now proposing to add a 3'-0" x 6'-0" utility closet along the driveway on the first floor behind the den (see floor plans and right elevation). The proposed utility closet does not affect setbacks or the driveway width. The utility closet is proposed under an approved 3'-0" wide trellis, which was already included in lot coverage and floor area ratio. Therefore, there is no increase in lot coverage and floor area ratio, only a change in the right side elevation. The project was approved with an FAR of 0.51, 3522 SF, where 0.54 FAR, 3689 SF is the maximum allowed on this lot. The shingle siding on the walls and doors of the utility closet will match the exterior materials on the house. The utility closet will not change the plate height or roof pitch. The design of the addition, other than adding the utility closet, remains unchanged. Reduced copies of the approved and proposed floor plans and building elevations (date stamped October 28, 2003) have been included for your review. Planning Commission Page 2 November 12, 2003 Planning staff would note that because of the minor revision to the right side elevation, it was determined that it 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.
