ISSUES OF CONCERN Planning: This application is reviewed for its compliance with R-2 Zone Regulations, Hillside Development Regulations and Architectural Design Guidelines. 1. The City‘s Hillside Development Regulations state that natural slopes of over forty percent gradient shall be undevelopable.

Staff recommends that you revise your site plans and design the project in accordance with this regulation. I I 2. There needs to be a clear area of 20'x 20' in each garage for car parking. On your site plans, garages are shown as 20'-4"x 23'"'' however the four feet wide steps leading down to the main entry are encroaching within the required 20'x20' area for the garage. 3. The proposed project also needs to comply with the Neighborhood Architectural Design Guidelines, contained in City Council's Policy No. 44 (copy attached). The project shall comply with guidelines 4,5,7,13 and 14 and one guideline from numbers 1 through 3. Also as stated in procedure, please provide documentation to demonstrate compliance with the policy. Engineering: 1. Revise the location of the sewer laterals so they are constructed perpendicular to the centerline of the road. 2. Relocate the water meter outside the driveway. Refer to the redlines for clarification on this. 3. Provide slopes on the driveway. 4. Revise the site plan to callout the correct street name. 5. Remove the callout for grouting rip-rap.
