Resolution No. 89-450 <br /> Page Two <br /> <br /> a. There is nothing unique about the size, <br /> shape, topography, location or <br /> surroundings to justify a variance from <br /> the Code. The obstructions in the back <br /> yard, the swimming pool, spa, etc., were <br /> all constructed or placed on site. <br /> <br /> b. The satellite dish is clearly visible to <br /> the adjoining neighbors on the side and <br /> to the rear of the property and is not <br /> properly screened as required by City <br /> ordinance. Even if the dish were lowered <br /> and screened, it would still be <br /> aesthetically displeasing to the <br /> neighbors because of its immense size <br /> (between 12 and 14'10" tall and 12' in <br /> diameter). <br /> <br /> c. The satellite dish generates noise which <br /> is disturbing to the neighbors. <br /> <br /> From the above findings, the City Council makes the <br /> following determinations: <br /> <br /> 1. Special circumstances unique to the site <br /> cannot be found. <br /> <br /> 2. The application, if granted, would constitute <br /> a grant of a special privilege. <br /> <br /> 3. The health and general welfare of the persons <br /> in, and the aesthetics of, the surrounding <br /> area would be impacted by the granting of the <br /> application. <br /> <br /> 4. The findings and decision of the Board of <br /> Adjustment ought to be reversed and the appeal <br /> of the City Council granted. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON <br />RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br />Section 1: The appeal of the City Council (AP-89-15) is <br /> upheld and the application of Wayne Johnson (Case <br /> V-89-25) for a variance is denied. <br /> <br />Section 2: This resolution shall become effective <br /> immediately upon its passage and adoption. <br /> <br /> <br />
