There is conflict between neighbors <br />and a brand new neighbor is wondering what is going on. She did not feel there was a <br />problem with the difference between fourteen and fifteen feet for the bungalow roof. She <br />has looked at this and did not feel it was fair to have Mr. Chestnut tear off the roof and lower <br />it. <br /> <br /> A substitute motion was made by Ms. Michelotti, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to <br />uphold the decision of the Zoning Administrator regarding the height of the bungalow <br />with a composition roof. <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Michelotti and Pico <br />NOES: Councilmember Dennis and Mayor Tarver <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti believed if the use of the barn and second unit had been discussed in <br />the beginning, some of the conflict and mistrust could have been avoided. She agreed some <br />notice should have been given for the change to the shingle roof of the barn, but she did not <br />support tearing it off now. She asked if approval were given to move forward with the plans <br />for the house if these were the ftnal plans as submitted. <br /> <br />Mr. Swift said yes. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala said there were no neighbors who opposed it. except for Mr. Ciesielski, <br />who does not want a two story house. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti wanted to add a condition concerning the cleanup on the Ciesielski <br />property. <br /> <br />Ms. Ayala said that was for the bam and Council is dealing with the house now. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti felt there would still be issues if the barn is not built as planned. She <br />referred to Ms. Dennis' comments about dealing with one thing at a time. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis referred to this project being reviewed as an addition to the house rather <br />than a new dwelling and asked if that required difl~rent noticing roles. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said with regard to what is happening with the existing house, the <br />procedures are identical in terms of process. It is administrative design review. What is not <br />subject to design review under any City Code is what is proposed for the barn. It is an <br />existing structure that is being repaired and rehabilitated. It is a non-conforming structure <br />that could not be built under today's regulations because it is too tall.
