.
.
.
Eighth Ave. and a lot line adjustment between 1426 and 1432 S. 8th AVe.
..
The staff report was presented.
In reply to a question by Commissioner Lucas, Mr. Kasama indicated that lot 11 required only a lot line
adjustment. He said that the recording of a tentative map could take a year or more. Because the
applicant is aware of the pending amendments to the code, he wanted to have this development to be
considered under the existing code and he wanted this project locked in under tOOay's regulations, The
proposed amendments will be effective in mid March. With the exception of the 5' setback on the
comer, lot, the project complies with the proposed code changes.
The public hearing was opened.
JefUey Lee, 255 E. Santa Clara, ,said they are in agreement with al1 of the conditions listed in the staff
report. He explained.that the property owner to the north owned the, two properties ~ he developed
the northern lot and erected the fence. If they were to construct a fence on the property line, there would
be a separation of 1.4' between their wali and the one that is already existing. Therefore, they are
requesting the lot line adjustment to eliminate the narrow strip that would be created by having two
walls. In essence, it would make a cleaner property line.
No one else spoke in favor of or in opposition to this item.
Chairman Olson closed the public hearing.
MOTION
It was moved by Commissioner Baderian, seconded by Commissioner Wen to approve Vesting
TM 53890, subject to the conditions listed in the staffreport and.fiIe the Negative Declaration.
In response to a question by Commissioner Lucas, .Mr. Kasama indicated that if the design of any of the
homes are altered, the new design would have to comply with the regulations that would be in effect at
that time. The new homes shown with the vesting tentative map would have to comply with the plans
that have been submitted. If they do not, then they would. be reviewed under the code that would be in
place at that time.
Ms. Butler further explained that the design of the homes does not get recorded, but are kept on file with
the map. ., '
