Mr. Don Webb, City Engineer, referred to Conditions of
Approval No. 12 and 17 and stated that the applicant
should be aware of the sight distance condition and the
condition that parking shall not be allowed on slopes
greater than eight percent.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Goff,
Planning Director Hewicker stated that the 10 foot
alley setback has generally been required in commercial,
zones to provide for parallel parking spaces adjacent
to alleys for commercial deliveries, trash storage, and
dumpster locations. Mr. Webb stated that the alleys
should be wider than 10 feet, to allow for better
maneuverability of the 8 foot wide delivery vehicles.
Commissioner Goff asked Mr. Wang how the design of the
proposed structure would be affected if the
encroachment were to be reduced. Mr. Wang stated that
the design would be affected, but that his .architect
• was not present to further answer this question.
Commissioner Allen stated that if the project were
reduced in size from 1.2 times the . buildable area to
1.0 times the buildable area, the setback area could
then be provided. She suggested that an additional
condition could be added, in consideration of allowing
the use permit to exceed the height, that the property
never be more intensely developed than 1.0 times the
buildable area. Mr. Burnham, Assistant City Attorney,
stated that such a condition would be appropriate.
Planning Director Hewicker suggested that the
condition,' as recommended by Commissioner Allen, be
worded as follows, . "That the applicant record a
covenant of which the form and content is.acceptable to
the City Attorney,' binding the applicant and its
successors in interest in perpetuity, to a limitation
of 1.0 times the buildable area on the subject
property." Mr. Burnham suggested that the condition be
further modified as follows, "That as long as there is
a building on the site which exceeds the .height, that
the 1.0 times the buildable area restriction shall
remain in affect." Commissioner Allen concurred with
the modified condition.

discussed the background information related to this
request.

for a variance or use permit in order for the
Commission to determine this item. He stated that he
would not want to set the precedence that a viewing
terrace is an architectural feature.

Commissioner, Balalis and stated that the proper
notification should .be given to the surrounding
property owners.
Mr. Harvey Pease, the applicant, expressed his concern
that the dwelling is currently open to the weather and

consideration of this request. He stated that there
has been no intent to exceed the height limitation. He
stated that he has made every effort to determine the

Commissioner Balalis stated that he can sympathize that
the dwelling in currently open to the weather and
suggested that possibly the public hearing could be
held as early as November 18, 1982. However, he stated
that the architectural feature rule is utilized very
rarely and strictly utilized for architectural
amenities on a building. He stated that the deck is
strictly a utilitarian portion of the project and the
fencing around it is a requirement of the Uniform
Building Code. He stated that he would not want to set
a precedence with this item.
Mr. Pease stated that the Commission has granted
exceptions in the past, and requested that the
Commission grant an exception on this item. He stated
that he has acted in good faith in constructing this
building.
Motion Motion was made to set for public hearing on November
. 18, 1982, an application for a use permit to permit
a balcony railing in excess of the permitted height
limit on property located at 314 Carnation Avenue,
provided that the applicant submits the required plans,
filing fee, and property owners' list at least 10 days
prior to the hearing.
Commissioner Balalis stated that if the applicant
applies for the use permit and submits the required
items at least 10 days prior to the hearing, that this
item be the first item on the agenda for the meeting of
November 18, 1982. Commissioner Goff stated that
otherwise, this item would have to be scheduled for the
meeting of December 9, 1982. He stated that it is the
responsibility of the applicant to submit this
information to the Planning Department.
Mr. Pease stated that in measuring from the roof to the
natural grade, there is a difference of six to eight
inches in exceeding the height limitation. He again
urged favorable consideration of this item. He stated
that to do otherwise, would create a detriment to his
project.

Planning Director Hewicker explained the various
addendums of the project and the "stop. work" orders
which have been previously placed on the property.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner
Balalis, Planning Director Hewicker stated that the
plans by which the building permit was issued, show a
natural grade at 12 to 18 inches above the finished
floor level of the lower living area. He stated that

shows the grade approximately six feet higher than the
grade as shown on the Building Department set of plans.
Planning Director Hewicker stated that the top of the
railing would be approximately 18 inches to 2 feet over
the height limitation.
In response to a question posed by Commissioner Goff,
Planning Director Hewicker stated that in the event

Commission, the red tag could be lifted during the 21
day appeal period, and the applicant could commence
work on that portion of,the building not involving the
roof deck.
