Mr. Pico felt the homes that go in should comply with the original development standards <br />with the 20 foot separation between the houses. He felt the three-car garage design did not fit <br />the character of the neighborhood. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis commented that these homes need to fit well with those older neighborhoods. <br />The greater separation between the houses might do that, perhaps with less garage. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver stated that there has been a lot of concern from the beginning about visual <br />impacts and about what those impacts do to the existing neighborhood. He wanted to live up <br />to the original approval and had a concern about the massing of garages on small lots. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mr. Pico, and seconded by Ms. Dennis, to adopt Resolution No. <br />95-133, dening the application of PanCat Development Company filed under Case <br />PUD-90-18-1M and PUD-90-18-2D. <br /> <br />The roll Call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Dennis, Pico, and Mayor Tarver <br />NOES: Councilmember Michelotti <br />ABSENT: <br />ABSTAIN: Councilmember Mohr <br /> <br />Item 6f <br />AP-95-10 (V-95-15 and Z-95-168} - Robert and Suzanne Ernest <br />Appeal of the decision by the Planning Commission to approve the request by the applicants <br />for a variance from the Pleasanton Municipal Code and for design review approval to allow <br />an existing, approximately 15'0" tall gazebo within the required front yard of a single- <br />family lot. (SR95:382) <br /> <br /> Brian Swift presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver asked when the gazebo, if placed closer to the resident that is complaining <br />about the gazebo, would meet code. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swirl stated that the gazebo is fourteen feet from the Cravottas' property line and <br />twenty feet from the front property line. If it were moved back five feet so as not to need the <br />variance, it would be twenty-five feet from the front of the property and nine feet from the <br />Cravottas' property, which is four feet further than the Code requires. Since the structure is <br />over ten feet tall, it still needs to meet the requirements for design review. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver asked how the setback is defined. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swirl replied that a setback is defined to follow a line parallel to the curb made by <br />the bulb. <br /> <br />11/21/95 -9- <br /> <br /> <br />
