~- THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Michael Peel, 530 Dolores Place, and Darlene Crane, 4275 Miramont Drive, represented the application. Mr. Peel displayed two scale plans for demonstration and stated that he feels the lot size and shape warrants a special circumstance; he said he would not be asking for approval if the neighbors objected to the plan. He noted that his builder is also present to answer questions. He said the average lot in the development is 2 1/2 times larger than his lot or about 33,000 sq. ft. He said their lot is 13,659 sq. ft. so it is technically between 1/3 and 1/4 acre. The zoning in that area requires 30 ft. distances between the homes. The setbacks on his project would be 5 ft. on his side and 25 ft. from the neighboring side; he felt this would meet the 30 ft. requirement for the sideyard setbacks. He further compared the other lots in the development. commissioner McGuirk asked the applicant plans before they saw the lot.

Doug Johnson, 9213 Bluegrass Drive, stockton, CA, was available ~ for questions. Chairman Mahern said it appears the neighbor's home would be at the same level as the second story of the proposed project. Mr. Peel thought there would be about 42 ft. from the adjacent house to the start of his second story. However, the shape of the lot would provide some privacy. Commissioner Michelotti asked Mr. Johnson the square footage of the buildable pad. Mr. Johnson replied he did not know the exact footage, but that it is the second to smallest building pad in the development and has the least amount of frontage. He indicated the pad would have to be much smaller if they were to stay within the required setbacks as stated in the staff report. Mr. Johnson further described the width of the proposed home to be 94 ft. and stated he has built a number of other homes. In response to commissioner Michelotti's question, Mr. Peel said he has purchased the lot in a bankruptcy sale from the present owner. He noted that the neighbors are very pleased that someone is going to build on the site in order to get rid of the weeds. Minutes Planning ea..ission JUDe 26, 1991 Page 6
