ISSUES OF CONCERN
1.

3.
The City's Hillside Development Regulation state that natural slopes of over forty
percent gradient shall be undevelopable.
Response: At a meeting on July 3,2002, it was determined that the area in question was, in fact, illegal fill pushed onto the site when the adjacent residence was constructed. Once the illegal fill is remedied, the slope is less than 40 percent and therefore buildable.
There needs to be a clear area of 20' x 20' in each garage for car parking.
Response: The steps leading to the main entry have been reduced by 1'-0" to give the proper 20' x 20' clear area for car parking.
The proposed project also needs to comply with the Neighborhood Architectural
Design Guidelines. The project shall Comply with guidelines 4, 5, 7, 73, and 74 and
one guideline from number 7 through 3. Documentation is as follows:
Response: Guideline 4---Street Elevation, The street elevation has five (5) changes of plane with the furthest plane being twenty-four (24)feet
back from the front plane. See enclosed exhibit.
Guideline 5---Rear Elevation, The rear elevation has four (4) changes
of plane with the furthest plane being twelve feet, six inches (12'6")
back from the front plane. See enclosed exhibit.
Guideline 7---Exterior Openings, All windows and doors in this project contain extruded foam shapes of two (2) inches in depth.
These will be color coated and painted a contrasting color.
