LANDS OF WONG, IOT #40, Dawson Drive, request for a special land use permit to allow construction of a new residence having a height in excess of fifteen feet The Town Planner presented her report dated 5/29/86 which noted that the Site Development Committee did not make a recommendation on this proposed project as the design exceeded the guidelines concerning maximum floor area and maximum development area. However, the committee did note that the project was well-designed and suggested that perhaps the minimum floor area allowance in the guidelines might be too restrictive. Mr. Ray Cobb, applicant's architect, commented that they wanted to design a home that would be a credit to the community. The steep slope of the lot and the numerous trees resulted in the siting of the house in a certain location. However, it was an appropriate mediterranean style and was one of the smaller homes in the neighborhood. Mr. Winston Wong, applicant, commented that design of the home had been done to meet the basic needs for his family and he did not feel it had been excessively done. Dr. Howard Martin, 11666 Dawson Drive, and Harry Emerzian, 11670 Dawson Drive, addressed the Council with their concerns about the drainage from the proposed project. They each related their past experiences in the neighborhood regarding drainage and wanted to be quite certain that the issue had been addressed in the project before Council. Dr. Martin offered to deed an easement through his property to the Town to alleviate the drainage problem and it was agreed that staff would meet with Dr. Martin and Mr. Wong at a later time to discuss this offer. -3-
