Planning Commissioner Comiso reported that five public hearings were held at the May 8, 1991 Planning Commission Meeting: 1) Lands of Choo, request for a site development permit for a new residence, cabana, tennis court and swimming pool - denied; 2) Lands of Yu, request for a site development permit modification for a new residence - denied; 3) Lands of Owen, request for a site development permit for a new residence, second unit, tennis court and swimming pool - approved; 4) Lands of Circle, request for adoption of a negative declaration and approval of a tentative map for a two-lot subdivision - denied; and 5) Lands of Malek, request for adoption of a negative environmental declaration for a three-lot subdivision - denied. Mrs. Comiso also noted that a resident had brought to their attention a photo montage which was done on computers and more information on that would be forthcoming. She noted that the sub-committee on fences had met with the next meeting scheduled for May 22nd. The first meeting was a general discussion including 'why are variances being requested for fences? In response to an inquiry from Council on the rationale behind the approval of the Lands of Owen, Commissioner Comiso noted that the elevation of the house was one story, only one neighbor complained and heavy mitigation was planned with landscaping. Council asked staff the status of the fence on O'Keefe and the Director of Public Works responded that they had advised him that they liked their fence the way it was. Casey asked how many complaints had been received about the fence and she asked staff to keep a log. Staff stated they would be in touch with the owners of the O'Keefe fence under discussion and efforts would be made to mitigate the impact. Siegel asked staff to resolve this issue in an expedient fashion. The City Attorney commented that she did not believe it was appropriate for Planning Commission Stutz to participate in the Commission meetings by phone. 4.
