PUBLIC HEARING MP 2006-04 1311 Rodeo Road John Barber on behalf of property owner, Paul Lai Consideration of modifications for a new two-story residence. The staff report was presented. In answer to a question by the Planning Commission, Ms. Flores stated that Greek Revival is a Corinthian style building, where the porches extend to the second floor with large windows and . . . doors, decorative fret cornice on the main roof and porch to represent the classical entablature and ornate ironwork. The public hearing was opened. John Barber, 25 Carmel Bay Dr., Corona Del Mar, the designer of the project said that they have read the conditions in the staff report and are in agreement with them. They have submitted a photo of what they are trying to replicate. Originally, they had proposed a French style home but at the recommendation of staff this was revised. They are desirous of maintaining a park like atmosphere. There is a similar style home across the street from the subject site. No one spoke in favor or in opposition to this item.

ROLL CALL: AYES: NOES: MOTION: Commissioners Baderian,Beranek, Hsu, Olson, Lucas None It was moved by ComD).issioner Badepan, seconded by Commissioner Beranek to approve MP2006"04 subject to the oonditions,in the staff report. Chairman Lucas was concerned that the architectural industry might have found a flaw in the proh!bition of the two story entries and they would try and get a way with that by calling it a Greek Revial style home. He could see the regulations' vulnerability with this regard. In reply to a question by Commissioner Beranek, Mr. Nicholson said that the same design elements are carried from the 1st floor to the 2nd. Since the new regulations were adopted dealing with entry heights, there have been only two modifications filed and both were on large parcels. The current single-'family architectliral.design review regulations address these. Staff looks at the relations and proportions. He concluded that staff has a good handle on these. ROLL CALL: AYES: NOES: Commissioners Baderian, Beranek, Hsu, Olson, Lucas None Chairman Lucas indicated that there isa ten working day appeal period. Appeals are to be filed by AprillBth.
