Home My WebLink AboutAV 00-01; WALSH RESIDENCE; Admin Decision LetterCity of Carlsbad IAFIOh ■ei·■•J4•E•i•,,14HI May 8, 2000 Mr. Norman Walsh 3160 Falcon Drive Carlsbad, CA 92008 SUBJECT: AV 00-01 • WALSH RESIDENCE The Planning Director has completed a review of your application for an Administrative Variance, AV 00-01, to allow for a 3 foot high retaining wall with an attached 6 foot high wood fence in the rear yard setback at 3160 Falcon Drive. After careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this request, the Planning Director has determined that the findings required for granting an Administrative Variance CAN be made and therefore, APPROVES this request based on the following findings and conditions. Findings: 1. That special circumstances apply to the subject property in that the retaining wall with attached wood fence is necessary to provide the required pool security fence height and afford privacy to adjacent properties, such that the strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives said property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under the identical zoning classification. 2. That the variance will not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated. This decision may be appealed by you or any member of the public to the Planning Commission within ten days of receipt of this letter. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Planning Commission at 1635 Faraday Avenue in Carlsbad, along with a payment of $400. The filing of such appeal within such time limit shall stay the effective date of the order of the Planning Director until such time as a final decision on the appeal is reached. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact Paul Godwin at (760) 602-4625. ~£~~~~ ~AYNE / Assis nt Planning Director GEW:PG:cs c: Bob Wojcik Data Entry File Copy 1635 Faraday Avenue• Carlsbad, CA 92008-7314 • (760) 602-4600 • FAX (760) 602-8559 (i)
