Mr. Weinstein, Planning Manager, welcomed the group to the Zoning Administration Hearing to discuss P15-0037. He asked the Associate Planner, Eric Luchini, to give a brief description of the application. Mr. Luchini stated Zarina Kiziloglu submitted an Administrative Design Review application on January 26, 2015. Notices were sent to surrounding property owners on January 28, 2015, as required for all Administrative Design Review applications. On February 4, 2015 Jamison Cummings requested a formal Zoning Administrator hearing for the project, expressing his concern about privacy in relation to the balcony portion of the proposed plans. Staff has found the project meets all development standards of the R-165 zoning district and therefore recommends approval of the project as designed with standard conditions of approval. The public hearing was opened. Mr. Weinstein asked Ms. Kiziloglu to discuss the reasoning for the balcony and what considerations were made in the design of it. Ms. Kiziloglu stated the balcony adds space, provides a view, and increases property value. Ms. Kiziloglu also noted that neighboring properties have balconies. Ms. Kiziloglu explained that when designing the balcony and placement of the balcony consideration was made in building it as far away from neighboring properties as possible in an attempt to avoid the P15-0037, Zarina Kiziloglu, March 10, 2015
