THE CITY OF m~n.,~ Int 1 j~L~E~S~4NTON® March 4, 2008 Planning and Community Development TITLE: PAP-110 (PAP-108/PADR-1698), DENNIS LONG, ROBERT LEETE AND FRANK MORGAN, JR., APPELLANTS; SCOTT AND LAURIE SMITH, APPLICANTS - CONSIDER AN APPEAL OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S APPROVAL OF AN APPLICATION FOR AN ADMINSTRATIVE DESIGN REVIEW APPROVAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN APPROXIMATELY 64-SQUARE-FOOT SINGLE-STORY ADDITION ON THE LEFT SIDE AND AN APPROXIMATELY 273-SQUARE-FOOT SECOND-STORY ADDITION ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE EXISTING TWO-STORY RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 3496 WHITEHALL COURT. PROPERTY OWNER/ Scott and Laurie Smith APPLICANTS: APPELLANTS: Dennis Long, Robert Leete, Frank Morgan, Jr. GENERAL PLAN: Medium Density Residential - 2 to 8 Dwelling Units Per Gross Acre ZONING: R-1-6,500 (Single Family Residential, Minimum Lot Size 6,500 square feet) District SUMMARY At issue is whether the proposed addition, started without prior approval or permit and now near completion, should be allowed. The addition is an expansion of a previously approved, currently under-construction addition at the Smith's. The applicants changed the scope of the previously approved project during construction. Three neighbors indicated that the overall addition is too large for the neighborhood, the duration of the construction has lasted longer than anticipated, and that the portion of the additions that were not approved or permitted should therefore be removed. The addition in question has been constructed as an integral part of the residence, and it meets the requirements (i.e. setbacks, Floor Area Ratio, and height) of the R-1-65,000 zoning district. The Zoning Administrator and later the Planning Commission approved the application. The neighbors have appealed the Planning Commission's approval to the City Council. 14 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
