The City Council of the City of Arcadia denies the appeal and approves a two story 7,137 sq. ft, home with an attached four car garage based upon the following findings and those findings made by the Planning Commission which are hereby incorporated by reference as part of this Resolution: 1. That section drawings submitted by the property owner's representative illustrated that the visual impact of the height of the proposed dwelling was not -1- 5454 significantly greater than other dwellings on the same block and that there were other dwellings in the vicinity with as high or higher visual impact because of their height and distance from the street. 2. That the many trees within the area block views toward the foothills and, therefore, the proposed house does not cause any detriment to the neighborhood. 3. That the home is not out of character in the area because the homes in this area are unique and architecturally different. 4, That everyone has a right to build a two-story dwelling and the proposed dwelling complies with all code requirements, 5. The house is not garish, excessive or substantially unrelated to the neighborhood and does not detract from the neighborhood nor will it harm, nor injure, or be a detriment to the surrounding properties and improvements, 6, The Council is concerned with mass (height and width) of the building which is increased by the uphill slope of the lot, but determines that the applicant has compromised and based upon the Planning Commission's recommendation the mass can be reduced to an acceptable level by lowering the building another foot from the height as shown on the revised elevation and that approval with conditions as set forth in Section 2 allows for a house that is compatible pursuant to City Resolution 5288 and does not stifle individual design initiative. Section 2, That for the foregoing reasons this Council approves the proposed 7,137 sq. ft. two-story dwelling subject to the following conditions: 1. That the main ridge be lowered to approximately 35 feet above curb, by reducing the main ridge from the 28 feet as shown in the revised plan to 27 feet. 2. That the two turrets (one at each end) be lowered one foot. 3, That the roof peak be lowered by one foot from 32'-7" to 31'-7". 4. That MP 88-023 shall not take effect until the owner has executed a form available at the Planning Department indicating awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval. 5. Noncompliance with the provisions and conditions of this Conditional Use permit shall constitute grounds for the immediate suspension or revocation of said Permit.
