van Tamelen stated that she did not vote for approval of this special land use permit because it was not in conformance with the conditions of approval for the original Huth Subdivision. 3. LANDS OF HAECKL, Lot #25, Blandor Way, request for a special land use permit to allow construction of a new residence having a height in excess of fifteen feet The Engineering Technician presented the Planner's staff report dated 5/16/86 which noted that the Site Development Committee had not made a recommendation to Council on the proposed residence as the project was 508 over the guidelines for building coverage and maximum develop- ment area. However, the committee did comment that the residence was nicely designed, had a low profile and was single story. Mr. David Takamoto, applicant's architect, explained the siting of the proposed residence, the design of the house, the use of natural colors in the project and the use of landscaping as a mitigating factor for visual impact. Mr. Takamoto noted that while it was not a large lot, there was a large amount of open space. It was further noted that the neighbors all approved of the proposed project. MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Tryon, seconded by van Tamelen and passed unanimously to grant a special land use permit for Lands of Haeckl based on the project's substantial conformance with the guide- lines of Ordinance #295 and conformance with the intent of Ordinance #295. Council commented on the careful and thoughtful design of the proposed project and congratulated the architect and applicants on a well done development. 4. LANDS OF WRIGHT, 14185 Miranda Avenue, request for a special land use permit to allow construction of an addition having a height in excess of fifteen feet The Engineering Technician presented the Planner's staff report dated 5/15/86 which included the Site Development Committee's recommendation that a special land use permit be granted based on the project's con- formance with the guidelines for Ordinance #295. Mrs. Barbara Wright, applicant, commented that they had been working on this addition for over a year and had made every effort to conform to the Town's regulations. She did suggest that it might be far less confusing to applicants if the regulations were less complicated and more uniform. Mr. John Hearn, 14221 Miranda, stated that he was the next door neighbor of the Wrights and he was pleased with the outcome of the efforts of the Wrights and the staff to work together; he had no concerns with the design of the project as presented. -4-
