Exception to allow a second story deck on an existing two-story residence.
Residential Design Review Committee decision final unless appealed.

Staff presentation: Peter Gilli, Planner I, stated that the project is a replacement of an
existing second story deck. The size of the new deck is approximately the same as the
old one. The original deck was built prior to requiring an exception. However, this
replacement is a modification and requires an exception. Because of the arrangements of
the lots in this area the second story deck does not have any views into any private yards,
except for section B on the exhibits. There is a slight view into property B. The applicant
has provided waivers for privacy protection signed by neighbors B and C.
Staff recommends approval.
Chairman Stevens stated that he does not want to set a precedent where privacy
protection waivers signed by neighbors would be sufficient to approve a project. The City
needs to assure that privacy protection for future neighbors is guaranteed. Since the
view in this case is very minor, approval can be granted. If it had a full view into the
neighbor's backyard it could not be approved.

Modification to a use permit to allow a 139 sq. ft. addition to a single family
attached residence in a Planned Development zone.
Residential Design Review Committee decision final unless appealed
Staff presentation: Peter Gilli, Planner I, gave an overview of the project. This is an
application to construct a 139 sq. ft. sunroom addition. The addition would be located
approximately 6'4" from the rear property line. Staff had two concerns with this project.
One was whether to allow any encroachments into the rear setback, and second, if
allowed how much. Ifa 10' setback is maintained, staff could recommend approval.
The applicant mentioned that the association and her neighbors have approved the
addition. The recommendation of a 10' setback would be consistent with a single family
home, but naturally the PUDs are on a smaller lots.

Chairperson Stevens stated that a sum:oom is like a glorified back porch and that approval
could be granted. Any other structure with walls and a roof could not be approved.
Comm. Doyle expressed concerns about future developments like two story structures.
He said that in this case approval could be granted since tiffs project is a glass structure, it
is less than 9 feet in height, and it does not create any visual intrusion.
