PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF PLEASANTON COUNTY OF ALAMEDA STATE OF CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. 2544 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION DENYING THEIR APPEAL OF A MINOR MODIFICATION TO CASE PUD-79-11 REQUESTED BY MR. HOWE OF 645 ABBIE STREET WHEREAS, Roy Howe, owner of the single-family residential property located at 645 Abbie Street in the Old Towne development submitted an application for a modification to the planned unit development governing the Old Towne project; and WHEREAS, the modification consists of allowing Mr. Howe to retain the 4 ft. high by 28 ft. long masonry wall which he has constructed across the northeast corner of his property. This was determined to be a minor modification to the PUD and approved by the Zoning Administrator on 9/6/84; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission appealed the decision of the Zoning Administrator at their meeting of October 10, 1984; and WHEREAS, appeals of modifications to the PUDs require public hearing before the Planning Commission and City Council; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered all public testimony, relevant exhibits and rcommendations of the City staff concerning this appeal; and WHEREAS, the northwest portion of the wall (5+ ft. in length) is located within the right-of-way of Abbie Street and, hence, is on City owned property. A PUD modification cannot be granted for this portion of the wall since the street is unzoned. If that portion is to be retained, Mr. Howe needs to secure an encroachment permit from the Director of Public Works or the City Council. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON RESOLVES THE FOLLOWING: Section 1. Denies the appeal of the Planning Commission and concurs with the decision of the Zoning Administrator to allow the retention of that portion of the wall on Mr. Howe's property because it would not be a traffic sight obstruction and the appearance of the wall is acceptable and that it would not adversely affect any surrounding
