"mystery space" is actually air space above the kitchen. Mr. Cravotta continued to <br /> explain structural details of the proposed project and stated that the project will probably <br /> take 3-4 months to construct. <br /> Mr. Weinstein asked if the elimination of the one bedroom downstairs will require a <br /> change in the configuration of the top floor rooms. Mr. Cravotta stated that it will not. <br /> Mr. Weinstein stated to the applicants that merging two bedrooms on the upper floor to <br /> eliminate the window on the back would satisfy the neighbor's privacy concerns and <br /> asked if that is feasible. <br /> Mr. Weinstein asked the Robles' how many cars are at the property. A member of the <br /> applicant team answered that it would be the same amount of cars as currently are <br /> there. <br /> Mr. Weinstein asked if any cars are parked in the garage. A member of the applicant <br /> team replied that it is used for laundry and storage. <br /> Mr. Weinstein asked the Robles' about the police activity at the residence. He <br /> commented that it is not necessarily pertinent to the zoning issue, but the neighbors are <br /> wondering about it. <br /> Mr. Robles stated that most of the activity concerns his son who is in rehab. He has not <br /> gone to court and the police have sought him, trying to get him to go to court. He has <br /> not complied so the police continue to come to the residence to search for him. Mr. <br /> Robles stated that his son has not been home for about two months. Mr. Robles added <br /> that any activity from here on out would concern his other son's kids, if they were to do <br /> anything wrong. <br /> He does not believe there will be any more police activity. <br /> Mr. Weinstein asked if there are any plans for the yard, other than removing two trees <br /> as part of the proposed project. Mr. Robles answered that there are no plans at this <br /> time and that the water shortage is to blame for the current state of the yard- no grass, <br /> bare ground. <br /> Mr. Weinstein asked Mr. Luchini asked about the concerns regarding the submittal. <br /> Mr. Luchini stated that the site plan does not necessarily have to be a surveyed site <br /> plan. In this case, because there is no change to the actual footprint of the home, it is <br /> less of an issue to staff at this time. Regarding the arborist report, Mr. Luchini stated <br /> that it is not always required, and is required only if a project could affect significant <br /> trees. When there is a proposed tree removal, the City consults the Landscape <br /> Architect to verify whether or not an arborist report is warranted. The trees proposed to <br /> be removed for this project are clearly damaging the home and need to be removed. <br /> P17-0372, Robles, May 25, 2017 <br />
