Property Owners: Rick and Carole Soss APN: 029-273-190 Applicant and Designer: Rick Soss Lot Area: 7,875 SF General Plan: Low Density Residential Zoning: R-1 CEQA Status: Article 19. Categorically Exempt per Section: 15303 - Class 1-(e) additions to existing structures provided the addition will not result in an increase of more than 50% of the floor area of the structures before the addition, is hereby approved. History: Initially, the applicant received building and planning approval to add a new dormer to the east elevation of the house. Because the initial dormer complied with the code requirements that if the enclosed area under the roof addition is 100 SF or less; the roof addition's pitch matches the existing roof pitch; and the height of the roof addition is not higher than the highest ridge of the existing roof; P.C. Commission review was not required for this dormer addition. This first dormer measured 10' x 10' and encloses approximately 67.5 SF of floor area. On November 26, 2001, the Planning Commission approved an application to allow construction for a second second story dormer addition at 110 Bloomfield Road. This approval for a second dormer was to allow the construction of a second story dormer at the rear of the house and to convert existing attic space into habitable living area. The attic living area created was 397 SF and increased the total square footage of the house to 2,951 SF (.37 FAR). The approved dormer measured 10' x 10' and encloses approximately 48.75 SF. The applicant was required design review because the two dormers exceeded the 100 SF allowed, 116 SF. Summary: The applicant is requesting design review amendment for the addition of a third second story dormer to an existing single story house located on an interior lot at 110 Bloomfield Road, zoned R-1. The proposed third dormer would measure 10' x 10', enclose approximately 54 SF, be located on the East side and will match the exact design of the approved two dormers. The total square footage of the current house is 2,951 SF. The new floor area created by the third dormer would increase the house to 3,005 SF (.37 FAR) where 4,020 SF (.51 FAR) is the maximum allowed. The applicants are not increasing the roof height or building envelope. The dormers allow the attic area to be converted to living space. All other zoning code requirements have been met. The applicant is requesting the following: • Design review amendment for a second story dormer addition to an existing single story house (CS 25.57.010); PROPOSED EXISTING ALLOWED/REQ'D SFTBACKS Front: (IS`flr) No Change 8'-0"* 15' or block average (2"d flr) No Change 16'-6"* 20'-0" Design Review Amendrnent for a Second Story Dorrner Addition 110 Bloomfiel�l Road PROPOSED EXISTING ALLOWED/REQ'D Side: (left) No Change 4'-0" 4'-0" Side: (right) No Change 11'-6" 4'-0" Rear: (ls`ftr) No Change 89'-0" 15'-0" �2��d.�r% No Change 89'-0" 20'-0" LOT COVERAGE: No Change 33°/o 40% (2,592 SF) (3,150 SF) FAR: 3,005 SF 2,951 SF 4,020 SF** 0.3 8 FAR 0.3 7 FAR 0.51 FAR # of BEDROOMS: No Change 3 ---- PARKING: No Change Two covered in detached One covered in garage garage (24'-0" x 30'-0"), (10'-0" x 20'-0") + 1 uncovered in driveway + 1 uncovered in driveway HEIGHT: No Change 19'-0" 30' ar 2'/2 stories DH ENVELOPE: Meets requirements N/A See code *Existing, non-conforming **(32% x 7,875 SF + 1100 SF + 400 SF for Detached Garage) Staff Comments: See attached. Planning staff would note that because of the nature of the request it was determined that this project could be brought forward directly to the action calendar. If the Commission feels there is a need for more study, this item may be so directed. Design Review Criteria: The criteria for design review as established in Ordinance No. 1591 adopted by the Council on Apri120, 1998 are outlined as follows: 1. Compatibility of the architectural style with that of the existing character of the neighborhood; 2. Respect for the parking and garage patterns in the neighborhood; 3. Architectural style and mass and bulk of structure; 4. Interface of the proposed structure with the structures on adjacent properties; and 5. Landscaping and its proportion to mass and bulk of structural components. 2 Design Review Amendment for a Secon�l Story Dormer Adctition l l0 Bloornfield Road Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission should hold a public hearing. Affirmative action should be by resolution and include findings made for design review, and the reasons for any action should be clearly stated.

Our proposal for this additional dormer is for both aesthetic and practical purposes. From an architectural design standpoint: The added dorn7er will balance the look of the Northern Elevation and hence the overall look of the home. Principally, this will add interest to an ele��ation that suffers a dearth of windows. From an interior design standpoiilt: Z'he added dormer, while not significantly increasing the square footage, affords a more open, less narrow feel to the upper level. Additionally, there will be an increase in access to preferred northern light. From a practical standpoint: As we are currently in the construction process and not quite near our rain season, it would be e�:tremely helpful to be able to commence ��ork on this final element as soon as possible.
