The proposed plans comply with the City's Zoning Regulations.

The Johnsons are appealing this condition of approval. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of the appeal. GENERAL INFORMATION APPELLANTS: Mark and Alison Johnson ADDRESS:' 618 Gloria Road APPEAL: An appeal of the Santa Anita Oaks Homeowners' Association's Architectural Review Board's condition of approval requiring that the garage remain in the rear yard for a proposed addition and remodel. LOT AREA: Approximately 18,510 square feet (0.42 acre) . " FRONTAGE: 95.13 feet along Gloria Road . EXISTING LAND USE: The property is improved with a one-story, four-bedroom', 2,419 square foot residence with a two-car garage attached to the rear of the residence. ZONING CLASSIFICATION: R-0-22,000 & D - First One-Family Zone with a 22,000 square foot minimum lot size and an ArchitecturalDesign Overlay. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: SFR-4 - Single Family Residential with a maximum density of four (4) dwelling units per acre. BACKGROUND On August 12, 2002, Mark and Alison Johnson submitted their proposed addition and remodel plans, and a Short Review Procedure Application for Homeowner Association Architectural Design Review to the Architectural Review Board (ARB) 6f the Santa Anita Oaks Homeowners' Association (HOA). On August 16, 2002 the architect was informed that a Regular Review Procedure was necessary for the ARB . to consider the proposed addition and remodel. The ARB held a meeting on September 3, 2002. On September 4, 2002, the ARB issued a conditional. approval of the proposed addition and remodel. The condition of.approval is that the garage is to remain to the rear of the house. On September 12, 2002, the Johnsons submitted an appeal of the conditional approval. PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS , " The Johnsons' proposed addition and remodel would convert and expand an existing two-car garage, which is atta'ched to the rear of the.house, into a master bedroom and bathroom, and add a new attached three-car garage (with one space as a tandem space) to the front of the residence. A 16-foot wide garage door would face the street. The proposed plans comply with the City's Zoning Regulations. The Architectural Review Board (ARB) of the Sahta Anita Oaks Homeowners' Association (HOA) has approved the proposed plans, subject to a condition that the garage remain to the rear of the house. The Johnsons are appealing the conditional approval. Theirappealletteris included as Attachment 3 with the following exhibits: . ARB Appeal- 618 Gloria Rd. October 22, 2002 Page 2 . . . . Exhibit 1. Application for Homeowner Association Architectural Design Review (Short Review Procedure) and proposed plans. Exhibit 2. Architectural Design Review Board (Committee) Findings and Action dated September 4, 2002. Exhibit 3. Declaration of Pamela Blackwood (Current President of the Santa Anita Oaks Association). Santa Anita Oaks Reaulations Section 9272.2.3 of the Arcadia Municipal Code establishes residential areas that are subject to Design Overlay Zones. City Council Resolution 5290 (Attachment 4) sets forth conditions, regulations, procedures and standards by which the Santa Anita Oaks HOA may exercise its plan review authority. In order that buildings, structures and landscaping on property within the Santa Anita Oaks area will be harmonious with each other and to promote full and proper utilization of those properties, Section 3 of Resolution 5290 imposes Conditions on all of the properties in the Santa Anita Oaks area that address the following items: 1. Minimum Ground Floor Area 2. Front Yard Setbacks 3. Street Side Yard Setbacks for Detached Garages and Carports on Corner Lots 4. Setbacks From Front Property Lines for Garages and Carports 5. Tree Preservation 6. Compatibility of Exterior Building Materials 7. Compatibility of External Building Appearance For this case, Conditions 2, 4, 6 and 7 are relevant. For Tract 13345, which includes all of the lots on Gloria Road, Condition 2 requires a minimum 55-foot front yard setback. The proposed design provides only a 52'-10" front yard setback for the garage addition. However, the southerly corner of the existing residence is set back only 51 '-3" from the front property line. Condition 4 specifies setbacks from the front property line for detached garages and carports, and requires that any garage not be closer to the front property line than the main dwelling. The proposed design complies with this requirement because the garage is attached and the front property line is at an angle. In actual appearance, however, the garage will protrude in front of the residence by approximately four feet. Conditions 6 and 7 require that the materials and appearance of a structure be compatible with other structures on the same lot as well as with other structures in the neighborhood. ARB Appeal- 618 Gloria Rd. October 22, 2002 Page 3 . ARB FindinQs . The Architectural Design Review Board (Committee) Findings and Action are included as Exhibit 2 of the appeal. Having the garage at tlw front of th'e house is the only aspect of the proposed design that the ARB found would have a ,significant adverse impact on the overall appearance of the property, and would be detrimental to the use and enjoyment and vaiue of adjacent properties and the neighborhood. The issue of having the garage at the front of the house Is not specifically addressed by the Conditions in Resolution 5290. Otherwise, the ARB found that the proposed addition and remodel will be compatible and consistent with the existing appearance of the residence, and will be in proportion to the neighborhood (Conditions 6 & 7). Photographs 'of [the subject property and of the adjacent properties are shown on Attachment 5. The ARB did not address Condition 2 regarding the proposed 52'-10" front yard setback as measured at the southerly comer of the proposed garage. Appeal The Johnsons discuss the following three reasons for their appeal: 1) That their proposed addition and remodel will be compatible and harmonious . with the other properties and structures in the neighborhood; . 2) That the ARB's decision was not rendered in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 5290; and ' 3) That their proposed plans should be deemed approved because the ARB did not act on their application within the ten working days stipulated by Resolution 5290. . Only one reason is necessary for an appeal of an ARB's decision; and ultimately any decision on an appeal is to be based on whether, or not, the proposed plans will provide for architectural compatibility and harmony (Issue t). Therefore, any other reasons for an appeal need not be considered. In support of their appeal, the Johnsons cite the following four houses on Gloria Road that have..garages or carports located at the front of the house. Photographs of these properties are included as Attachment 6. . 524 Gloria Road - This property is eight lots to the south -of the subject property and was built in 1951. Thetwo-cargaragewas added in 1984,. '. ARB Appeal- 618 Gloria Rd. October 22, 2002 Page 4 . . 548 Gloria Road - This house is five lots to the south of the subject property and was built in 1991. . 610 Gloria Road - This property is adjacent to the south of the subject property . and was built in 1951. The carport appears to be part of the original construction. . 629 Gloria Road - This hoiJse is across the street and to the north of the subject property and was built in 1951. The attached two-car garage faces sideways and appears to be part of the original construction. Only these four properties of the 35 houses that front on Gloria Road have parking facilities at the front of the house. Condition 4 of Section 3 of Resolution, 5290 includes distan~es from front property lines for carports or garages not connected to a dwelling, but the only requirement for attached garages or carports is that they shall not be closer to the front property line than the main dwelling. Theiproposed garage will be setback 52'-10" from the front property line. The front yard setback of the existing house is 51 '"3" at the southeast comer. Therefore, the proposed plans comply with Condition 4 of Section 3 of Resolution 5290. . In addition to citing the four properties with parking faCilities at tne front of the house, the Johnsons have a Declaration from Ms. Pamela Blackwood, Current President of the Santa Anita Oaks Association (Exhibit 3 of the Appeal). Ms. Blackwood supports the Johnscins' proposed addition and remodel, and she has attached the minutes of the May 19, 2002 HOA meeting to document the current HOA Officers and Directors and ARB committee members. Architectural Review Principles Condition 16 of Section 3 of Resolution 5290 stipulates that the ARB and any body hearing an appeal of the ARB's decision, shall' be guided by the following four principles: a. Control of architectural appearance and usa of materia.ls shall not be so exercised that individual initiative is stifled in creating the appearance of external features of any particular strucfure, building; fence,wall or roof, except to the extent necessaryt6 establish contemporary accepted standards of harmony and compatibility acceptable to the Board or the' body hearing an appeal in order to'avoid that which is excessive, garish, and substantially unrelated to the neighborhood. (Pertains to Conditions Nos. 6 & 7 of Section 3 of this Resolution - Exterior Building Materials & Exterior Building Appearance). . b. Good architectural character is based upon the principles of harmony and proportion in the elements of the structure as well as the relationship of such principles to adjace'nt structures and other structures in the ARB Appeal- 618 Gloria Rd. October 22, 2002 Page 5 neighborhood. (Pertains to Conditions Nos. 6 & 7 of Section 3 of this Resolution - Exterior Building Materials & Exterior Building Appearance). c. A poorly designed external appearance of a structure, wall, fence, or roof, can be detrimental to the use and enjoym~nt and value of aojace.nt property and neighborhood. (Pertains to Conditions Nos. 6 & 7 of Section 3 of this ,Resolution - Exterior Building Materials & Exterior Building Appearance). ' d. A good relationship between adjacent front yards increases the value of properties and makes the use of both properties more enjoyable. (Pertains to Condition No.2 of Section (3 of this Resolution - Front yards). . Based on the above fburprinciples, the ,Planning Commission is to determine whether, or no~, the proposed plans satisfy the Santa Anita Oaks Regulations as specified in Resolution 5290 such that the proposed front yard setback, and the proposed design of the addition and remodel will be compatible and harmonious with the other properties and structures in the neighborhood. Plannina,Commission Determinations The proposed pl~ns are in compliance with Condiiions1, 3, 4. and 5 of Section 3, of Resolution 5290. The ,proposed plans do not comply wi~h the minimum 55'"0" front . yard setback required by Condition 2. The setback at the southerly corner of the proposed garage is 52'-10'\ However, the front yard setback of the existing house is only 51'"3" at the southerly corner, and the front yard setbacks of the adjacent houses are 52'-4" foNhe house to the north, and 52'-8" for the southerly house. The proposed plans comply with the City's front yard setback requirement of 52'-6". The Planning Commissiol) is to make the following determinations: , A. Do the proposed plans provide an appropriate front yard setback pursuant to Condition 2 of Section 3 of Resolution 5290? In accordance with the ARB's power under Condition 10.d of Section 3 of Rel;olutlon 5290, tile minimum: 55'-0" front yard setback requirement may be made less restrictive if the ARB (or Planning Commission on appeal) determines that such action will foster development of a 'lot and will not adversely affect the use ~nd enjoyment of the adja,cent lots and the general neighborhood and would not be inconsistent with the 'provisions and intEmtof Resolution 5290. B. Does the proposed design satisfy Conditions 6 and 7 of Section 3 of Resolution 5290? That is, will the proposed design provide Tor architectural compatibility and harmony? . ARB Appeal- 618 Gloria Rd. October 22, 2002 Page 6 . . . If the Planning Commission finds that the proposed 52'-10" front yard setback is appropriate, and that the proposed design with a two-car, attached garage facing the street, will provide for architectural compatibility and harmony, then the Commission should approve the Johnsons' appeal and overrule the ARB's conditional approval. CEQA Arehitectural Review decisions will not have a significant effect on the environment and are therefore exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act. RECOMMENDATION The Development Services Department recommends approval of the appeal. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Approval of Appeal If the Planning Commission is to approve the appeal, the Commission should make the following findings and move to sustain the appeal and overrule the Santa Anita Oaks Homeowners' Association's Architectural Review Board's condition of approval, and direct staff to prepare an appropriate resolution for adoption at the next meeting. 1. That the proposed 52'.10" front yard setback will foster development of a lot and will not adversely affect the use and enjoym~nt of the adjacent lots and the general neighborhood and would not be inconsistent with the provisions and intent of Resolution 5290; and 2. That the proposed addition and remodel will be archit.ecturally harmonious and compatible with the other properties and structures in the area; and 3. That the proposed addition will promote full and proper utilization of the subject property. Denial of Aooeal If the Planning Commission is to deny the appeal, the Commission should make at least one of the following findings and move to deny the appeal and uphold the Santa Anita Oaks Homeowners' Association's Architectural Review Board's conditional approval, and direct staff to prepare an appropriate resolution for adoption at the next meeting.

September 11, 2002 City of Arcadia Planning Department 240 West Huntingtpn Drive Arcadia, California 91006 Re: Proposed Remodel of 618 Gloria Road, Arcadia, California Dear Planning Department: Pursuant to Arcadia City Council Resolution No. 5290 Section 15, this letter constitutes an appeal by Mark and Alison Johnson of the finding or decision issued on September 4,2002 by the Santa Anita Oaks Home Owners Association Architectural.Review Board ("ARB") with respect to the application submitted by the Johnson's to the ARB on August 12,2002 regarding the proposed remodel of their residence located .at. 618 Gloria Road in Tract No. 13345 of the Santa Anita Oaks (the "Remodel"). A copy of the application submitted to the ARB together with the plans for the Remodel is attached as Exhibit 1. A copy of the findmg or decision issued by the ARB with respect to this application is attached as Exhibit 2. . The decision of the ARB should be overturned for many reasons. First, it should be overturned because the Remodel complies with all applicable City requirements. Further, as noted in the ARB's decisiOn, the design for the Remodel provides for the proper setbacks, is in proportion to the other improvements on the property and adjoining properties, and is consistent with the existing design of the residence. In additiOn, as further noted in the ARB's decision, the construction materials proposed for the Remodel are consistent with the existing materials of the residence. Further, the ARB's finding or decision that the Remodel will be detrimental to the use, enjoyment and value of adjacent properties because the gl;1Iage will be located in the front yard is not supported by the evidence. First, many homes in the vicinity of the residence have garages . or carports located in the front yard. These homes include the following locations or addresses: 610 Gloria Road (next door to the residence), 629 Gloria Road (across the street from the residence), 548 Gloria Road, and 524 Gloria Road. In addition, this finding is at odds with the opinion of Pamela Blackwood, President of the Santa Anita Oaks Home Owners Association and 'a real estate agent active in the Santa Anita Oaks area Ms. Blackwood has no objection,to the Remodel and believes that the Remodel will enhance the use, enjoyment.and value of the Johnson residence as well as the adjacent properties and neighborhood and will not have a detrimental effect on the use, enjoyment or value of the Johnson residence or the adjacent properties or neighborhood. (See, Ms. Blackwood's Declaration attached as Exhibit 3.) . In addition, the finding of the ARB should be overturned because it was not rendered in accordance with the provisions of Resolution No. 5290. Resolution No. 5290 Section 9:g states that any "decision by the [ARB] shall be made by a majority of the entire membership of the [ARB], and such decision shall be rendered by the [ARB] members who considered the ATTACHMENT 3 City of Arcadia, Planning Department ... September 11,2002 -- Page2 . application." The ARB's decision with respect to the Remodel was notmade by the majority of the membership of the ARB. The ARB has 7 members. and is comprised of the following individuals: Chairperson, Jack Lynch; Member; Tom Beck; Member, Nancy Dom; Member, Steve Perry; Member, Carlton Seaver; Member, Clyde Stauff; and Member, John Woo. (See, Ms. Blackwood's Declaration attached as Exhibit 3.) The ARB'sdecisioo with respect to the Remodel states that it was made by Jack Lynch, Tom Beck, Carlton Seaver (absentee), and Jim Potter. However, Mr. Potter is not a member of the ARB. Therefore, the ARB"s decision'With respect to the Remodel was not made by a majority of the membership ofthe ARB as required by Resolution No. 5290 Section 9,g. Finally, the ARB's decision with respect to the Remodel should be overturned because the ARB should be deemed to have approved the Remodel pursuant to Resolution No. 5290 Section II. On August 12, 2002, our'architect, JeffreyShifs, personally delivered to Jack Lynch, Chairperson of the ARB, a completed application for the Remodel. The application included a consent form signed by all of the adjoining property owners, (See, Exhibit 1.) Therefore, the application was submitted pursuant to t1).e short review process or procedure outlined in Resolution No. 5290 Section 11. If the ARB determines that any condition set forth: in an , application is not appropriate for the Short Review Process, pursuant to Resolution No. 5290 Section II.d, it is required to file in writing with the City Clerk and Director of Planning a list of the conditions in the application that itbelieves are not appropriate for the Short Review Process. We do not believe that any stich filing was made with respect to the application for the Remodel. Therefore, the Short Review Process applies to the application for the Remodel. Resolution No. 5290 Section 11.c.states that U[t]he Board Chainnan, or another Board member, designated by the Board Chaiiman to act in,his behalf,. shall render his decision on a Short Review Process application within ten (10) working days from the date such request is filed with the ,Board, failure to take action in said time shall, at the end of the ten (10) working day period, be deemed an approval. of the plans." Neither the ARB nor its Chairman rendered any decision on the application for the Remodel until September-4, 2002. That date is more than ten working days from the submittal to the ARB on August 12,2002 Of the application for the Remodel pursuant ,to the Short Review Process. Therefore, pursuant to Resolution No. 5290 Section ltc, theARB.shouldbedeemed to have approved the application for the Remodel. , Thank you for your considerationofthls appeal.

DECLARATION OF PAMELA BLACKWOOD I, Pamela Blackwood, declare as follows: 1. The following facts are known by me to be true based on my own personal knowledge. 2. I am the President of the Santa Anita Oaks Home Owners Association ("SAOHOA"). In addition, I am areal estate agent actively involved in the purchase and sale of homes in the Arcadia lIfel\, including the Santa Anita Oaks area. 3. I have reviewed the plans prepared by Jeffrey Shifs for the remodel of the residence owned by Mark and Alison Johnson and located at 618 Gloria Road, Arcadia, California (the "Remodel"). I have no objection to the Remodel. In my opinion, the Remodel will improve the overall appearance of the Johnson residence. In addition, I believe the Remodel will enhance the use, enjoyment and value of the Johnson residence as well as the adjacent 14 properties and neighborhood and will not have a detrimental effect on the use, enjoyment or value 15 of the Johnson residence or the adjacent properties or neighborhood. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 4.

Santa Anita Homeowners' Association Annual MeetinglParty May 19, 2002 Agenda Call to order: GOOD AFTERNOON Welcome to the Santa Anita Oaks Homeowners' Association Annual Business Meeting for the election of Officers And Directors! Party On behalf of the Santa Anita Oaks Homeowners' Association I would like to thank our gracious hosts Terry and Pamela Blackwood for opening their beautiful home to us today. Thank You! Appreciation: On behalf of the Santa Anita Oaks HomeoWI;lers Association . I would like to express our-appreciation and thanks to the following people: The outgoing Officers and Directors member: President George Bennett Vice President Larry Wilson Treasurer John Snider Secretary Laura. K wok Director Bashir Ahmad Director Ruth Bell Director Pamela Blackwood Director Robbin Cohen Director Janice Corey Director Suzanne Coulter Director Gene Detmer Director Jimmy Jiang Director Mark Johnson Director MichaelLin Director Joan McCann Director Karen McAlister Director Carol O'Toole Director Keppie Sullivan The outgoing Architectural ReView Board Members: Attachment to Exhibit 3 .' Chairperson Jack Lynch Member Tom Beck Member Nancy Dom Member Steve Perry , Member Carlton Seaver Member Clyde Stauff Member John Woo . Treasurer's Report. . President!s Report Highlights of Major Activities: Annual Meeting/Party was the result of the efforts ofLe6i1a Madikians, Patty Nijjar, Nafissa Rashidi (Shakoor), Karen McAlister, Pamela Blackwood, Ruth Bell, Joan McCann, and-Janice Corey. Sound Wall: LanyWilson was Chairman of the Sound waU committee. We must look out for ourselves. We caught the fact that SAOHA sound wall, was left out of the Caltrans budget. The States funding blessed us. We need to stay on top of this issue. . Filming Issue: Joan McCann has single handedlycaused thousand of dollars from the tllin production companies to be donated to SAOHA. City was not particularly helpful on putting a letter requesting a donation. The City Attorney has rewriting of the letter to b.e a reluctant notice. I rewrote the letter suggesting a donation for the film companies of $200 for the first day of each production and $75 for each day after. Don' Penman, with City, has worked with us and is helping. Current City policy is'to allow filming at a home once each three months. The Board supports this restriction. Neighborhood Watch- Mark and Allison Johnson are Neighborhood Watch. Co-Chairpersons. Carol O'Toole and Janice Corey are on the committee. We need your help as a volunteer to be a block captain. Stolen car and annual Christmas break rampages. I believe that this issue should be our numbE;r one priority. If you wish to help, see them. Highland Oaks Homeowner Association Sign- At the 2000 Annual1l1eeting I announced that, we were looking into joining with the Highlands Oaks . Homeowners Association and placing.a sign on the median in Santa Anita . 2 . Avenue above Foothill Blvd. Laterthat year, having SAORA's name on the sign lost by one vote at a board meeting. Mark Johnson changed his vote to a no vote at the last minute. Some people are very upset over the Highland Oaks sign on Santa Anita Oaks. Currently Bashir Ahmad, Joyce Getzen and Larry Wilson are on a committee to work with Highland Oaks Homeowner Association's President Jeff Bowen to see what can be done about the sign. Possibly to explore ways to renegotiate the placement and size of the Highland Oaks sign. If you wish to join that committee see them. Peacock Issues: Carol O'Toole presented a petition asking the Mayor to initiate a proposal to control the peacocks. Bashir Ahmad volunteered Mahmuda, his wife, to chair the committee for this issue with Barbie Betz to join. If you wish to join that committee see them. We are looking into publishing another newsletter with the help ofKeppie Sullivan and Carol O'Toole. . To find our web site: 1. wwW.cLarcadia.ca.us 2. Then click on About Acadia . 3. Then click on Santa Anita Oaks Association At Gino Roncelli' s request, I am looking into having just one thrash collection day rather than the current every day is trash day in some part of SAORA. The two homeowners associations near the arboretum had' a party and it was a big success. Pamela Blackwood is talk to the Upper Rancho Association and the Highland Oaks Homeowner Association about having a joint party with our homeowners associations. The other associations are interested in having a party with us. The arboretum will charge a small fee for the party.
