4 Ms. Lytle referred to her staff report of March 9, 1984, noting this is a
variance request to exceed the maximum allowable development area by 2,453
sq.ft. to allow for construction of a swimming pool and decking. Ms. Lytle
indicated the applicant previously received a site development permit on
November 29, 1979, to construct a residence, swimming pool and tennis court,
pointing out the residence and tennis court building permits were obtained
and finaled in 1980-81. The applicant did not request a permit for the
swimming pool until January, 1984. Ms. Lytle indicated at the time site
development was issued for all three items the site plans were in conformance
with the ordinances, however, with current regulations precludes the pool
construction. Staff recaarended denial of the subject variance request, be-
cause written application does not produce evidence, not has staff found
evidence in their review of the project, supporting the six criteria listed
in Title 9, Chapter 5, Article II, Section 9-5.1107 (b).

Mr. Tsunoda, 11622 Rebecca lane, informed commission he selected a lot in

Commissioner Carico asked Mr. Tsunoda if he could send the plans back to
his architect to see if sere of the development could be reduced, noting
if it was not reduced she could not vote in favor of this 2,400 sq. ft.
variance request.
Ca aissioner Stewart suggested the concrete area he reduced, and perhaps
sane of the decking on the home, and with the use of lawn area around the
pool, this could eliminate the need for such a large variance request,
noting then he would be able to vote in favor of the request.
CaTudssloner Struthers suggested Mr. Tsunoda use lawn around the pool area
to reduce the amount of impervious surfacing, noting she felt the commission
could approve the request giving a specific nuober that would be allowed
for development area on the subject lot and then have the applicant go on
to Site Developnent for approval of the grading and drainage of the pool.
MOTION SA"tlfIDID AND CARRIED: Moved by Stewart, seconded by Carico and
passed u++ly to deny without prejudice the variance application for
the Lands of Tsunoda, File $VAR 1-84, as the six criteria for granting of
a variance as per amicipal Code Section 9-5.1107 (b) could not be met
positively, as the existing developrent area is already exceeded and this
request would bring the total developent area 2,453 sq.ft. over the allowed.
Mr. Tsunoda was info=d he can re -apply up to one year without additional
fees being inposed or make an appeal to the City Council on this action.
