BACKGROUND An application for a conditional use permit to replace an existing 10,000 gallon redwood water storage tank with a new 5,000 gallon polyurethane green tank at a new location closer to an existing well on the subject site was submitted to the City. The original redwood barrel water tank was constructed of vertical interlocking boards and was in poor repair (Attachment 2). It was identified as non-salvageable by the applicant's well specialist and therefore they recommended replacing it. The Planning Commission approved the applicant's request for a conditional use permit on April 9, 2008. Although they acknowledged that neighbors may perceive various elements of rural character as sometimes undesirable, the Commission believed that the landscaping (Figure 3) that had been installed by Ms. Rocha would adequately screen the tank from both the appellant's home and those homes located west of the subject site on Diamond Court. Please refer to the "Background" section of the attached Planning Commission staff report dated April 9, 2008, for additional information (Attachment 4). SITE DESCRIPTION The subject site is approximately 1.33 acres (57,738 square feet) in size, relatively flat and located on the south side of Sycamore Road, at the beginning of Sycamore Creek Way. The subject property shares the south and west boundaries with the approximately 1.1 acre flag lot owned by the appellants. The appellant's front yard faces the rear yard pasture area of the subject site. Both the Rocha and Segundo properties are located immediately east of the homes located on Diamond Court PUD- MDR (refer to Figure 1). Page 2 of 8
