PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS a. P11-0715,Craig Sjoberg (Applicant), Nahdo Selig (Appellant) Design Review application to construct an approximately 13-foot, 8-inch tall, 240-square-foot accessory structure in the rear yard of the property located at 663 Orofino Court. Zoning for the property is R-1-6,500 (One- Family Residential) District. Janice Stern presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key elements of the proposal. In response to Commissioner Blank easements associated with this property, Ms. Stern replied that there were none. Commissioner Blank then inquired what part of the structure the story poles represented. Ms. Stern replied that she believed the story poles represented the middle of the structure, and the ridge would go down on either side. Commissioner Blank inquired if staff evaluated installing additional landscaping to cover the hole between the trees through which the proposed structure could be seen from . He expressed surprise that planting a tree in that location to screen the structure was not proposed as an alternative. Ms. Stern replied that it could be added as a condition; however there is only a five-foot clearance in that area. She noted that there is also a eucalyptus tree in that area, and anything planted underneath it would not do well. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 17, 2011 Page 2 of 36
