permit. At that time staff would decide the most appropriate way to accomplish the separation. Commissioner Finch believes this particular design does not warrant having two addresses. Mr. Swift stated that since the house has two entrances, it needs to ave two addresses. In response to Commissioner Michelotti's question of how a perman nt division of the units be made, Mr. Swift stated that staff would look at the proposed pi s to make sure they complied with the second unit requirements. Further, the owner wo d have get approval of the modifIcation on the use permit as well as a building permit.

Sallie Caraballo, 1740 l50th Ave., San Leandro, represented the ap lication. Ms. Caraballo stated she had read the staff report and conditions, and she and her other, who is a co- owner of the project, agree to the conditions. Ms. Caraballo indicated the staff report (page 2) was in error in tha she would be occupying the primary unit and her mother, Doris, would be occupying the ndary unit. ~ Robert Morgan, 4957 Forest Hill Drive, Pleasanton, is a neighbor the applicant, and he feels this application is a way of getting a duplex into an otherwise 'ngle family neighborhood. He feels that, in the future, the second unit could b turned into a daycare facility, etc. He wishes to maintain the neighborhood as single f ly homes. Furthermore, because of another incident in the neighborhood where a resident b i1t living quarters over a garage, Mr. Morgan would like the Commission to honor his feelin s against this application. Commissioner Michelotti advised Mr. Morgan that State law does type of development of additional housing, and this particular appli law. Other applications for "granny flats" have been brought forw approved because the State law allows it. Moreover, it is not in th Commission to deny an application solely based on the fact that it i ow and encourages this tion is directed by State d, and they have been purview of the Planning a secondary unit. Mr. Morgan stated he has no objection to the "mother's unit," but eels the design of the house should not include two entrances. He feels this wi11lower h' property value in the future because of having a multiple unit next door. Commissioner Hovingh advised Mr. Morgan that the two entrances and two addresses are for safety reasons so emergency personnel can respond to the appropri te entrance. Mr. Morgan felt this was not justifiable in this instance because there is access all parts of the house from either entrance. Commissioner Wright added that the State g idelines call for it to be double addressed. PJanning Commission Minutes Page 3 September 22, 1993
