16. Exhibit N, Comments and Location Map 17. Exhibit 0, Photographs of the Subject Property and Neighboring Properties BACKGROUND Peter Shutts, architect, submitted an application for Administrative Design Review approval on February 2, 2006 to allow the construction of a covered patio and first and second floor additions to the side and rear ofthe existing single story residence located at 779 Mirador Court. Pursuant to the Administrative Design Review process, staff notified the surrounding properties and in response to the notification, three neighbors, Dennis and Barbara Georgatos, 790 East Angela, Ron Imperiale, 798 East Angela, and Tim Bennett, 784 East Angela, expressed opposition to the additions, and requested a public hearing. Februarv 15. 2006 Meetine At staff's request, on February 15,2006, the concerned neighbors, property owners of the subject site, and their architect, Peter Shutts, met in hope of reaching an agreement between the parties prior to a Zoning Administrator Hearing. During the meeting, the neighbors restated the following concerns about the second-story: . Loss of privacy; . Shadowing; . Loss of view; . Eye sore; . Decline in property values; and . Out of character with neighborhood. Staff asked if the neighbors would support the second story addition if landscape screening, opaque glass, and/or higher windowsills were required; however, none of the neighbors indicated that those, in their opinion, would mitigate the impacts of the addition. An agreement could not be reached between the two parties and a Zoning Administrator Hearing was scheduled. Staff would like to note that meeting notes for the February 15 meeting can be found in Exhibit C. March 9, 2006 Zonine Administrator Hearine At the public hearing on March 9,2006, staff presented and recommended that the Zoning Administrator approve the proposed project subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit B of the staff report dated "March 9, 2006". After listening to the comments and concems of the neighbors and applicants, the Zoning Administrator, Ms. Decker, decided to continue the project so that she could; 1) meet with all parties individually to discuss their concerns; and 2) conduct a site visit to the neighborhood (please see Exhibit D for the March 9, 2006 Zoning Administrator staff report and Exhibit E for the meeting minutes).
