Approved 5-0

 

4.         WS-0511-11 – SHDML, LLC:

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following: 1) reduced setbacks; and 2) reduce the building separation in conjunction with a single family residence on 1.0 acre in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the east side of Spanish Heights Drive, 200 feet north of Hacienda Avenue within Spring Valley.  SB/pd/ml (For possible action)

Denied 4-1 per staff recommendations. Applicant did not know who owns adjoining parcels and had not discussed possible negative impacts on those properties. Significant reductions requested for questionable reasons as the building already shades the area in question. Applicant offered no rebuttal to staff recommendations for denial. The single vote in favor was cast with a comment that the request involves areas behind a wall and generally not visible.

 

5.         WS-0508-11 – LIU DINGRONG, ET AL:

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following: 1) reduced corner setback to an accessory structure; and 2) reduce setback from a street to an existing accessory structure (storage shed) in conjunction with an existing residence on 0.1 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the northeast corner of Foxgrove Drive and Starwood Drive within Spring Valley.  SB/mk/ml (For possible action)

Denied 5-0. The applicant presented several signatures of neighbors in support of the request and two neaighbors appeared asking it be approved. They supported the request saying the shed built is much better and more attractive than those on other nearby properties and that this was an outstanding neighbor. The shed was placed without apparent knowledge of the need for permits and was assembled by a family friend who described himself as a handyman. English was a second language for the handyman and the applicant was represented by a fried due to the applicants lack of English language skills.

The members learned the shed has no plumbing or electrical service. We asked the staff if simply moving the location might bring it into compliance with regulations and it appeared that may be an option. At TAB request, the staff member met with the applicant outside the meeting and it appears they are seeking a viable solution to come into compliance. We expressed our hope they could return to a future meeting and achieve approval.
