Protected Tree Encroachment No. TRE 17-16
PROJECT ADDRESS: 1830 Lee Avenue
Dear Mr. Lai:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision ended on August
8, 2017. Staff did not receive any comments from neighboring property owners
regarding these applications during the public comment period. The
Development Services Department has conditionally approved the single-
family design review project dated June 20, 2017, for a new 3,413 square foot,
two-story, Prairie style residence, with a 450 square foot, attached, two-car
garage at 1830 Lee Avenue. The proposed new residence will encroach into the
protected zone of four (4) protected trees. The conditions of approval are as
follows:
On the plans submitted to Building Services for plan check, the landscape
plan shall be revised to include a note that the Laurel Bay trees and
Dwarf Strawberry trees shall be a minimum of 6-feet in height at the time
of planting.
The project shall comply with the City’s Water Efficient Landscaping
Ordinance (WELO). The application shall be submitted with the plans for
plan check in Building Services.
There is a ten (10) day appeal period for these applications. To file an appeal, a
completed Appeal Application form must be submitted to the Community
Development Division along with a $600.00 appeal fee by 5:30 p.m. on
Thursday, August 24, 2017. You will be notified if an appeal is filed.
Approval of SFADR 16-45 and TRE 17-16 shall not be of effect unless the
property owner and applicant have executed and filed the enclosed Acceptance
Form to indicate awareness and acceptance of these conditions of approval.
The Acceptance Form is due now and if it is not received by Wednesday,
September 13, 2017, this approval will become null and void.
This approval shall expire in one year (August 25, 2018) from the effective date
unless a building permit is issued and the construction is diligently pursued, a
certificate of occupancy has been issued, or the approval is renewed.
An extension may be granted by the Development Services Director or
designee, or the Review Authority that approved the project for a maximum
period of one (1) year from the initial expiration date. An extension can only be
granted if the required findings can be made. Please note that acceptance of an extension
request does not indicate approval of an extension. A building permit must be obtained prior to
any construction activity. Please contact Building Services at (626) 574-5416 to determine the
type of documentation, plans, and fees for the appropriate permit. This approval letter must be
presented to Building Services to initiate the permitting process.
