ir. <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS <br />26379 Fremont Road <br />Los Altos Hills, California <br />MINUTES OF AN ADJOURNED REGULAR MEETING <br />Wednesday, December 10, 1986 <br />cc: Reel 183, Tr. I, Side I, 110-432 <br />Mayor van Tamelen called the Adjourned Regular Meeting of the <br />City Council to order at 3:35 p.m. in the Council Chambers at <br />Town Hall. The Mayor added the following item to the agenda: Armi <br />Remodeling Project. <br />A. ROLL CALL: <br />Present: Mayor van Tamelen and Councilmembers Dronkert, <br />Plummer, Siegel and Tryon <br />Absent: None <br />4 Staff: City Manager George Scarborough, City Attorney Frank <br />�w Gillio and City Clerk Pat Dowd <br />B. ARMI REMODELING PROJECT: <br />Mayor van Tamelen referred to her report dated 12/8/86 which <br />noted that when she had requested Council to grant a waiver of <br />variance fees for the Armi project at the last Council meeting, <br />she was not aware that the variance could still take 60-90 more <br />days. The Armis were very upset at the delay. Their project had <br />been going on since last July and they were most anxious to have <br />their extension completed. The Mayor suggested that the Council <br />order staff to issue a building permit and cited the following <br />reasons for taking this unprecedented and exceptional step: ex- <br />ceptional circumstances, extreme hardship, the unobtrusiveness of <br />the project, the consent of the neighbors, the nonconformance of <br />maximum floor area resulting from ordinances more recent than <br />those in effect at the time the home was built, the full develop- <br />ment of the neighborhood, and the prolonged procedure necessary <br />for a variance. The report further stated that this should not <br />constitute a precedent for other cases. <br />Mr. and Mrs. Armi, 24721 Olive Tree, clarified that the extension <br />to their home involved an enclosure of approximately 183 square <br />feet over the existing deck. <br />
