CITY COUNCIL MINUI''ES - February 5, 1986 E. PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) : 2. LANDS OF HEPPICC, 28041 Horseshoe Court, request for a special lard use permit to allow construction of a new residence having a height in excess of fifteen feet The Town Planner presented her 1/29/86 staff repurt which noted that the Site Develogrent Ccnudttee remm:ended approval of a special lard use permit for the proposed new residence based on the project's substantial conformance with the guidelines for Ordinance #295. The report further wmanted that while the lot was on a very visible ridgeline, the applicant had agreed with certain mitigating measures to lessen the visual impact of the project. Nr. Bob DoAnaral, ardlitect, explained the grading and landscaping of the project. He also cemented on the small roof area which exceeds the height limit. Apparently this was a misunderstanding and according to his estimates, the highest peak was a triangle section 12" over the height limits. This peak was over the central stairwell and he would be pleased to lower the triangle to the required 27'. Mr. Charles Herpick, applicant, contented that he was building the home for himself and explained why he sited the residence on the lot as shown on the plans. He particularly noted that he wanted a view of Stanford and he wanted to avoid the noise of 280. Allison stated that he could not make the following findings regarding the application for lands of Herpick: Section 5(c) (i) and (iii) : The City Council nay not grant a special land use permit unless it finds that the following general conditions exist- 'The establishment and maintenance of the use applied for conform with the comprehen- sive zoning and land use regulations being studied, or which the Council intends to study within a reasonable time' . and 'The proposed use is not detrimental or injurious to property and improvements in the neighborhood and is appropriate to the location, the lot and the neighborhood' . Dronkert stated that she could not make the following finding regarding the Lards of Herpick: Section 5(b) (i) : The effect which the proposed use has on the comprehensive zoning and land use regulations which the Council currently has under study. ' Dronkert did suggest a field trip with the applicant to help clarify the application of these guidelines to the project under discussion. 1 MOTION SECONDED AND TABLED: Moved by Fuhrman, seconded by Dronkert and tabled to grant a special land use permit for Lards of Herpick based on the project's sub- stantial conformance with the guidelines for Ordinance #295 MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Allison, seconded by Dienkert to continue lands of Herpick, request for a special landuse permit to the next Council meeting to allow the applicant the opportunity to review the plans.
