ATTACHMENT 4 P14-1186. Nagib Haddad Application for Design Review approval to construct an approximately 6,841-square-foot, two-story custom home and related landscape and site improvements, including approximately 23,817 square feet of grading, at 8019 Golden Eagle Way. Zoning for the property is PUD-LDR (Planned Unit Development— Low Density Residential) District. Jennifer Wallis presented the staff report and described the scope, layout, and key elements of the proposal. Commissioner Balch noted that the slide on the site plan shows a suggested building envelope and inquired how that comes about. Ms. Wallis replied that when the Golden Eagle PUD was designed and the Design Guidelines created, each lot was looked at to determine the flattest area, the building envelope, that had the least impact on the natural topography within the subdivision. Commissioner Piper inquired if the 40-percent grading was a Homeowners Association (HOA) recommendation or requirement. Ms. Wallis replied that the Design Guidelines indicate lots should maintain a 40-percent or 20,000-square-foot of grading, whichever is less, but it can be exceeded with City and HOA approval. Commissioner Piper inquired if the HOA is fine with the 40 percent. Ms. Wallis replied that the HOA's letter actually indicates that its original approval was for 20,000 square feet of grading, but indicated within that letter that it would support the City should it approve grading in excess of 20,000 square feet. For clarification purposes, Commissioner O'Connor inquired if that letter indicated that the grading of 23,817 square feet was submitted but was not identified. Ms. Wallis said yes. Commissioner Nagler inquired, as a stand-alone explanation and in reference to the HOA's work on the progress of its project review, what specifically occurred between December 2013 and the letter that was sent to the City approving the design. He indicated that he was particularly interested in, from the City staffs perspective, what design changes were made in the home between that December 2013 position of the HOA and what is before the Commission tonight. He noted that it appears the HOA is still objecting to or asking for certain design and architectural changes. Ms. Wallis stated that the HOA's original approval letter dated August 19, 2014 had only three outstanding stipulations: (1) that color and material samples would be provided at a later date; (2) that the return wall between the home and the property line needed to be revised; and (3) that a full landscape plan needed to be provided.
