Samuel Raber 20 Deer Oaks Court Pleasanton CA 94588 DescrIptIon of VarIance Proposal 1. IntroductIon Samuel Raber and SylvIa Raber are the owners of Lot 7 of PUD-82-13 and desire to erect a detached second unIt that conforms to the standards of State Government Code SectIon 65852.2. CondItIon 62 of the PUD <CIty of Pleasanton OrdInance No. 1050) states that no structure shall be constructed outside of the area shown on the developoment plan as the bull~Ing envelope. SInce the proposed locatIon of the second unIt Is outsIde the buildIng envelope, an appllcatlon for a varIance to OrdInance No. 1050 Is hereby submItted. 2. Arguments In SUDDort of Variance A Soeclal CIrcumstances Aoollcable to the ProDert~ On flat or level lots of PUD-82-13, the assocIated building envelope coincIdes with the overall lot, except for setbacks. On h111slde lots, such as Raber's, the area of the building envelope Is usually much smaller than the lot and typically defines a SIngle flat area wIthin whIch a sIngle family residence Is to be erected. The specIal circumstances concernIng Raber's lot, IS that there exIsts a 350 foot frontage onto Deer Oaks Court and, furthermore, there exists two flat areas that can accommodate residential butldlngs. The Rabers contend that the butldlng envelope of their lot was erroneously drawn on the development plan and should have encompassed both flat areas, Instead of only one area that contaIns the present residence. The presently drawn building envelope Is Insufficient to accommodate a detached second unit. The strict applicatIon of the existIng building envelope to a limited portion of Raber's 2 acre lot deprives such property of prlvtleges enjoyed by other nearby properties havIng buildIng envelopes that encompass all level areas of property. The Rabers are hereby applying for a variance to OrdInance No. 1050 to permit the erection of a detached second unit along Deer Oaks Court, but
