Town of Los Altos Hills April 8, 1998 Staff Report to the Planning Commission RE: SITE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR A NEW RESIDENCE; LANDS OF HARARI; 12580 MIRALOMA WAY; File#6-98-ZP-SD. FROM: Susan Stevenson, Planner 55 APPROVED BY: Curtis S. Williams, Planning Dire for RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission EITHER: 1. Approve the requested Site Development Permit, subject to the attached conditions of approval; OR 2. Approve the requested permit, subject to the attached conditions, with modifications to condition #1 to either revise the patio exit from the lower level and/or to reduce the mass at the entry. BACKGROUND The subject property is located to the left at the end of Miraloma Way. There is no subdivision information on the creation of this lot, therefore, a certificate of compliance will be required with the approval of the new residence (see condition #?). The title report indicates that there are access easements along the northeast corner for private use by the neighbors. A new residence was approved on this site in January, 1997. The previous owners subsequently sold the property and a new residence is proposed. The previous points of concern were the extent of the second story and the plantings proposed (and installed) on the site. The current application does not include planting (to be reviewed at a Site Development Hearing) and has located the second story area and higher rooflines away from the neighbors that had concerns regarding views with the previous application. CODE REQUIREMENTS As required by Section 10-2.301 of the Site Development Ordinance, this application for a new residence has been forwarded to the Planning Commission for review and approval. Criteria for review from the Site Development Ordinance include grading, drainage, building siting, pathways, landscape screening and outdoor lighting. Zoning Code review encompasses compliance with floor and development area requirements, setbacks, height and parking.
