Commissioner Sandoval requested to be excused because of a conflict of interest. The Chairman granted the request and Commissioner Sandoval is NOW absent. The Planning Director explained the petition which brought: but the public hearing and explained the differential of existing pad e1tvatio,s in relationship to Corona del Terra curb height in comparison to the two upper lots to the curb height and average building height of structures on Montego. 107 108 Arroyo Grande Planning Commission, 12 -3074 Page 2 The three remaining building sites on the south side Brighton were also included in the discussion. It was noted that all of the 'd :t on the east side of Corona del Terra now have a building permit issued . h and, therefore, no action can be taken to limit those lots. It was also noted that the two upper lots below Montego were of such an elevation abovee curb that a 17' limitation above curb height would restrict construction to approximately 10' or 12', and that even a two story house would not infer= fere with the view of those houses on Montego because there was an approxi- mate 30' difference in elevation between curb height of Corona del Terra and Montego. The Planning Director also stated that he was concerned that placing a height limitation on five undeveloped lots after all of the other lots of the subdivision had been built would be imposing a constraint which would be un- realistic in view of the other construction in the subdivision. With reference to the Ruth Ann Way Assessment District development, he stated that, In his opinion, until such time that grading plans have been pre- pared, that It would be Impossible to consider placing any sort of a height restriction on any one or all of those lots because there is a considerable difference between existing terrain of the total aroi, Mr. gallop recommended that the Commission deny the total "D'' Override xone chenge request, and that staff be requested to "flag" Ruth Ann Way devolopment for consideration or height limitations when grading and development plans have been preiseeted. After the presentation by the Planning Director, and upon assurance that public hearing for Rezoning Case No. 74.77 had been duly published and property owners notified, Chairman Calhoon declared the hearing open. Mrs. Stella Nobles, 1239 Montego, requested additional clarification on the problem involved between curb height, pad elevation and structural heights. The Planning Director reviewed this again for the audience and Commission. Mr. Carpentier, 1243 Montego, stated that the houses on the south side of Montego have been limited to an 11' height above curb. The Planning Director noted that even with the 11' height limitation above curb, that two story houses could still be built by taking advantage of the terrain south of Montego. He also noted that in Mr. Carpentier's situation, that the 11' height limit- ation applied to the higher curb elevation of Montego, and that the curb drop is approximately 2' within the carpentier property, which allowed him 13' of construction height on the westerly end of the lot. Mr. Bill Prather, 2218 Glacier Lane, Santa Maria, developer of the property, stated that on the south side of Brighton they plan only single story homes such as the two already built, which would not create a vision problem to the houses on the north side of Brighton which are approximately 8' above curb grade. Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson, 208 Fairview Drive, stated that she had no -objections to the proposals, but was concerned that all of the development takes place uniformly, and she inquired as to whether any of the lots within Ruth Ann Way Assessment District could be built immediately, other than the two which had been built on the north side of Brighton. The Planning Director stated that there were two lots on the south side of Brighton,granted by a parcel map, which could be constructed immediately, and one lot on the extreme northerly end of the Assessment District area which has access to lower Newport could be developed, otherwise, no new construction could take place until the Assessment District and subdivision have been approved. Mrs. Noble asked if a public hearing would be held on the subdivision proposal on Ruth Ann Way. The Planning Director stated that a public hearing on the Assessment District would be held by the City Council, but a public hearing was not required for the subdivision, however, if she would call the Planning Commission Secretary, an agenda could be sent to her when the sub- division was to be considered by the Commission. There being no fruther discussion for or against the proposed rezon- ing, Chairman Calhoon declared the hearing closed. After discussion, the following action was taken: Arroyo Grande Planning Commission, 12-3774 P,ge. 3 RESOLUTION NO. 74 =354 z On motion by Commissioner Moots, seconded by Commissioner Ries, and by the following roll call vote, to wit: The foregoing Resolution was adopted this 3rd day of December 1974.
