Planning Commission <br /> Lands of Silvestri <br /> January 14, 1998 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Floor Area and Development Area: <br /> Area Maximum Proposed Existing Increase Left <br /> Development 17,100 15,447 -0- +15,477 +1,653 <br /> Floor 6,864 6,779* -0- +6,779 +85 <br /> *excludes 2,893 square foot basement that is wholly underground <br /> Site and Architecture <br /> The applicant is requesting approval of a site development permit for a one-story <br /> residence with an attached four-car garage and basement and a swimming pool. The <br /> house would be 5,753 square feet, the garage 1,026 square feet, and the basement 2,893 <br /> square feet in area. The basement is to be completely underground and is not counted as <br /> floor or development area. The length and depth of the window wells and the stairway <br /> and exit are minimal. Staff has included wording in condition #1 requiring the window <br /> wells to be the minimum required by the Uniform Building Code. <br /> Varied roof lines and wall planes, a bay window, eaves and architectural detailing have <br /> been proposed to provide interest and shadowing. The proposed residence has also been <br /> angled on the site and only a few corners are close to the minimum setbacks. Story poles <br /> have been placed on the site for the Commission's review. <br /> The maximum height of the new residence is shown to be 23 feet four inches as measured <br /> from the building pad. Staff is recommending that the height be reduced to a maximum <br /> of 23 feet (see condition#1). This would be consistent with all other recent approvals of <br /> new residences in the La Paloma view corridor. A proposed residence on the Lands of <br /> Hill was recently denied by the Commission and Council as it exceeded 23 feet and was <br /> not consistent with other approvals in the neighborhood. <br /> Some properties on La Paloma Road have been required to have greater front setbacks. <br /> The following table indicates the setbacks for newer residences fronting on La Paloma <br /> Road: <br /> Owner Address z: Front Setback <br /> Reed 13940 La Paloma Road 55 feet <br /> Tsui 13928 La Paloma Road 80 feet <br /> Whitney 13890 La Paloma Road 80 feet <br /> Shah 13918 La Paloma Road 80 feet <br /> Mooring 13791 La Paloma Road 80 feet <br /> Stewart 13975 La Paloma Road 50 feet <br /> Papoulias 25101 Maurer Lane 50 feet <br />
