GRADING APPLICATION #19
Lot 79, Tr. 23943 (P.V. Dr. West)
Applicant: Kirk Gillett
that Grading Application #19 be tabled
of possible amendments to the grading
Director Hightower reviewed the request for
approval of grading for a single family
residence. The proposal involves grading
and construction on slopes in excess of 35%.
Accordingly, it was staff's recommendation
until the Planning Commission completes review
section of the Development Code.
The applicant, Mr. Gillett, emphasized the need for expediency, but indicated his
willingness to have the matter tabled.
Director Hightower emphasized that, even after a Code amendment, there could be no
guarantee that the grading for this particular project would be approved.
On motion of Mr. Rosenberg, seconded by Mr. McTaggart and unanimously carried, the
appeal of Grading Application #19 was tabled until such time as the Commission has re-
viewed the grading ordinance and initiated a Code amendment.
PARCEL MAP #6660 Director Hightower summarized the request
77 Headland Drive for approval of Tentative Parcel Map #6660,
Applicant: Sherman Hutchison for the creation of two lots with a minimum
area of 29,000 sq.ft. each, with the revised
recommendation that the parcel map be ap-
proved subject to the conditions contained in Resolution 76-3 P.C., with the added con-
dition that a waiver be signed and submitted not opposing any future sewer assessment
district formation.
In response to Commission question, Director Hightower indicated the City does not re-
quire a topographic map based on field survey for either a parcel map or other City
applications.
Mr. Hutchison indicated the driveway easement was not a fee easement because it was
his understanding the ten feet would be needed for a 15' setback for a future tennis
court on the front parcel.
It was indicated that the setback at that portion of the property would only be 5',
since it is considered the side property line, not the rear.
It was moved by Mrs. Trefts, seconded by Mr. McTaggart, and unanimously carried to
adopt Resolution 76-3 P.C., approving Tentative Parcel map #6660, based on the condi-
tions contained in Exhibit "A" of the Resolution, with the added condition that a
waiver be signed and submitted not opposing any future sewer assessment district forma-
tion.
