Staff APPELLANTS: ELIZABETH LAM & recommendation was that the Council uphold MARY ANN LOU the Planning Commission decision and deny LOCATION: 12 PACKET ROAD the appeal based on inability to make all ( 1804) of the required findings in Section 9113 A of the Development Code. With the use of photographs and drawings, Mrs. Lam, the appellant in this matter, described the details of her proposed addition. Speaking in opposition to this addition was Mr. Klaus Landers whose home was located next to Mrs. Lam. His objection was based on the fact that his light and air would be restricted. Additionally, he stated that it would reduce the value of his home. Also speaking in opposition were William Gussman, 11 Packet Road; Mrs. J. Nerko, 6 Packet Road; James Hurst, 9 Packet Road; R.E. Pelton, 2 Packet Road; and Judge Anderson, 8 Sea Cove Drive. These objections were based on appearance and also the alleged incompatibility of a two story home in that area. Mrs. Lam spoke in rebuttal to these comments, citing the fact that two story homes already existed in the neighborhood. In support of this statement, Mrs. Lam dis- tributed photographs of several two story homes in the neighborhood. The City Attorney advised the Council that in denying or upholding this appeal, it would be necessary to consider each of the criteria of Section 9113, Paragraph A, of the Development Code. Council Meeting 787 February 21, 1978 Section 9113, Subparagraph a: Councilman Dyda moved to support this finding in that the provisions of this section had been fulfilled since Staff had sent notice of this application to build a house exceeding sixteen (16) feet in height to property owners within five hundred (500) feet of the lot. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ruth. There being no objection, MAYOR RYAN SO ORDERED. Subparagraph b: Councilman Dyda moved that since evidence presented showed the existence of two story, split level and second story additions above garages, that this proposed structure would be compatible with existing structures in the neigh- borhood. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Shaw. There being no objection, MAYOR RYAN SO ORDERED. Subparagraph c: Councilman Dyda stated that with respect to view as has been used by the City, and based on the fact that the proposed structure would be obscured by trees which in one area were taller than the structure, that this structure did not change the vista or the view. He then moved to support the finding that this proposed second story addition was situated in such a manner as to minimize view obstruction. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ruth. There being no objection, MAYOR RYAN SO ORDERED. Subparagraph d: Councilman Dyda moved that the cumulative effect of the proposed structure, or future structures of a similar character which could be constructed in the neighborhood, would not adversely impact the neighborhood view. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Shaw. There being no objection, MAYOR RYAN SO ORDERED. Subparagraph e: Councilman Dyda moved that since the proposed structure was not located on a ridge or promotory that this second story would not accentuate the impact on the neighborhood view. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ruth. There being no objection, MAYOR RYAN SO ORDERED. Subparagraph f: Councilman Dyda moved that this proposed structure would not unreasonably interfere with the neighborhood view. The motion was seconded by Councilman Ruth. There being no objection, MAYOR RYAN SO ORDERED. Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilman Ruth, to reverse the decision of the Planning Commission and grant the appeal. There being no objection, MAYOR RYAN SO ORDERED.
