would like to see in relation to the garage and house. The impression was that it should continue to look like an old bam and not a new structure. The bam issues are not before Council tonight at all. There were no notices regarding the barn because there is no design review for the barn. It was brought up in the staff report because of the issues the neighborhood had. Mayor Tarver referred to the Z-99-178 application and the letter stat'mg the approval was effective in fifteen days unless appealed. That sounds like an official approval that should have been noticed. Condition 6 said the applicant shall use a raised seam metal roof for the barn. If a resident received that, when would they know the roof was changed to another kind? Mr. Swift explained that Mr. Chestnut asked to add a second floor inside the ham. Because of the way this neighborhood has been reacting to all of these applications, staff processed the second story floor as a neighborhood process with notice and no request for modification was made or comment made. Staff approved the application. At that time there was a metal roof to match the metal roof that was on the barn to begin with. Mayor Tarver said if he got a notice with conditions that he agreed with and then there was a change later, it would make him very upset. How can conditions be changed without letting people know? He wanted a fool-proof process to make sure changes to conditions or approvals were noticed. Ms. Ayala believed that most people would have felt it was a great idea to have a shake roof rather than a metal roof. She reiterated that at this point Council is not dealing with the bam, but with the house addition. Ms. Michelotti asked about the garage area and what is expected. Mr. Swift said it is a pre-existing structure that has been renovated and how Mr. Chestnut chooses to use it is up to him. It could be storage. Ms. Michelotti said the staff report alluded to an area for storage but could be used as a home office, but not living quarters. Mr. Swift said a zoning certificate was necessary for a home office, but it is an existing accessory structure that could be used for any of those kinds of uses. If it is a home office, it would have to meet the requirements of a home occupation or he would need to apply for a conditional use permit if it exceeded the square footage or other requirements for mn exempt home occupation. Ms. Michelotti asked if it were to be used as an extra bedroom or guest house, could he do that? Mr. Swift said yes, but it could not be a dwelling unit. Pleasanton City Council 17 03/07/00 Minutes
