North Sycamore Specific Plan Like the PUD, the North Sycamore Specific Plan does not have established development standards for the subject lot. The specific plan makes recommendations and policies for new development and references the Municipal Code in terms of setbacks, lot size, etc in relationship to a new home. Under the Public Facilities Element, Section B-Water Service, 2: Study Area Water Source, the Specific Plan states that; "With several exceptions, existing residences within the Specific Plan area rely on private wells for water....." Staff recognizes that this "policy" is for the well itself; however the well requires having an efficient water tank, which, in staff's opinion, would be located as close as possible to the well itself in order to maximize efficiency. PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of this application was sent to all properly owners and occupants within 1,000-feet of the subject property. At the time this report was prepared, staff had not received any comments or concerns other than those raised by the rear neighbor prior to noticing. Neighbor Joanna Segundo, of 455 Sycamore Drive, is located directly behind the subject property. Mrs. Segundo's front yard abuts the applicant's rear yard; where the water tank is located. She has provided staff with the following comments regarding the relocation and replacement of the tank during a site visit on February 25, 2007: ^ The Segundo's removed their trees in their front yard to allow for more "openness" and therefore is not interested in additional landscaping; ^ Would prefer that the tank was not screened with a structure because it would give the appearance of being larger; ^ Would not like to have the fence re-done to be solid or higher because, again, that would take away from their "openness"; and ^ Would ideally like to see the tank relocated farther to the left so that it is screened by their garage; as shown in the below.
