William Bailey, 23670 Camino Hermoso Road, noted that both the staff and the Planning Commission had recommended denial of this application. He further commented that if the proposed house had been in place when they first saw their lot, they would not have purchased their property. It had a definite negative visual impact on their property. Ginny Collins, Fox & Carskadon, stated that loss of view had a definite negative financial impact on a piece of property. She further noted that a year ago this house was not visible from the Bailey's property. Dot Schreiner, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated that the Roley's lot was not unique. There were many lots in Town which involved more than one road right of way. She also believed that allowing the Roley's an exemption to the Town's regulations on garages would be precedent setting. There were many instances where residents would also like such an exemption. Barrett Bruch, 12186 Winton Way, noted that they were next door neighbors to the Roleys. He had comments to make on this application both as a neighbor and also as a member of the subdivision's architectural committee. As a member of the committee, he noted that the proposed house's architectural design was in accordance with the regulations. However, the committee had one proviso concerning the fire hazard of the pine trees. As a neighbor, Mr. Bruch raised several ` issues including the following: proposed development and floor area (their house was 4,100 square feet); restricted view (presently they could see over the Roley's house); a sheer white stucco was was directly in their view; and the fire hazard of the trees. Mrs. Roley, applicant, stated they had tried to work with their neighbors. They did not want to negatively impact their neighbors' views and had redesigned their home to achieve this goal. Concerning the pine trees, Mrs. Roley noted that many neighbors did not want them cut down. As a result they had pruned the trees and removed the debris. Mrs. Raley asked for compassion. They had been out of their fire ruined home for months and she wanted to go home. Gary Ahern, applicant's architect, addressed the site constraints of the lot, one of which was the location of the septic system. Jean Struthers, 13690 Robleda, referred to the Liddicoat fires in 1985. Those residents had been allowed to rebuild at 107 over what had been destroyed -- not thousands of square feet over. Hubbard stated that the applicants were aware of the right of way restrictions when they purchased the lot. Although he realized it was a difficult time for the Roleys, he did not believe it was fair to change the Town's regulations for them. Hubbard January 4, 1995
