condition and still achieve their desired floor plan as compliance could result in the loss of at
<br /> least one bedroom on the second story since the Building Code requires adequate egress,
<br /> usually in the form of a window, within a bedroom in case of emergency. Accordingly, the
<br /> applicants/appellants filed an appeal of the Zoning Administrator's approval on June 9, 2017,
<br /> stating objections to Condition of Approval No. 3. Specifically, the applicants/appellants claim
<br /> this condition would require the second-story floor plan to be substantially reconfigured and
<br /> prevent them from moving forward with a project that meets their needs. Additionally, the
<br /> applicants/appellants state this condition should be removed because the adjacent neighbors at
<br /> 3564 Yellowstone Court (the Johnsons) also have a second-story window on their south-facing
<br /> elevation that provides views into the applicants'/appellants' yard.
<br /> Accordingly, the appeal is now before the Planning Commission for determination. Please refer
<br /> to Exhibit C for a copy of the appeal.

<br /> for the project in Exhibit B, which indicate the existing residence is approximately 1,582 square feet in area. Please
<br /> note this discrepancy would not affect the project's compliance with the requirements of the PMC as outlined later
<br /> in this report. Staff relies upon applicants to provide accurate information; however, in many cases, applicants rely
<br /> on field measurements from fence lines, interior versus exterior wall measurements, and other measurements that
<br /> can change over time due to a variety of factors and could slightly affect the information provided by applicants
<br /> without their knowledge. This is especially common for older properties.
