Florence Berg
128 Alta Lorna Drive
Mr. Albert Seyranian stated that the applicant has agreed to the
conditions with the exception of modifying the proposed block wall
with a combination concrete block column and wooden fence.
Mrs. Morgan objected to the height of the structure stating that it
would cast a shadow in her backyard.
Mrs. Berg's concerns were view obliteration, rodents from existing
restaurants, burglaries in the neighborhood, and parking problems.
The Commission also felt that the height of the building was not in
scale to the surrounding businesses and although they favored seeing
this parcel developed they could not support the application.
Director Smith stated that the proposed building is 39' from the rear
property line and it is within the allowable height limit.
Mr. Donald Seyranian stated that it was not economically feasible to
lower the structure any further and he did not favor a redesign.
Chair Boblitt directed staff to prepare findings for denial and
requested a motion to have the case continued to June 25, 1987.
Motion-Matteucci/Second Warren: To continue UP-87-798 to the June
25, 1987 Planning Commission meeting.
On the question: Commissioner Mantegani stated that the applicant
should be informed as to what the Commission considered a reasonable
height for this site for redesign purposes. The Commission wanted
the building to be visually more in scale with the surrounding
buildings.
Unanimously approved by roll call vote.
