APPLICATION ASA 7-U-87 -- WILLIAM H. AVERY•
Requesting approval of architectural plans and landscaping for four
single-family homes within a Planned Development zone. Site is
located on the west side of McClellan Road, approximately 200 feet
south of Mira Vista Avenue.
II) MAJOR ISSUES
PUBLIC AND STAFF:
- BUILDING FORM: One citizen'testif'ed that the Building mass and
height may appear top,:,,., e �!, from McClellan Road. Staff
questioned consistency 8f19'a'ctual or apparent three story
elements 'faciria east with Condition 3 of Planned
zoning for the site
Staff is concerned ''that": I co'mbin'edi effect
wall, the four foot high regaining wall -beyond w
private yard of each site, added to the strong
of three story elements will create a stark
viewed from the east, at ,least for the firs
Development
of the criblock
hich defines the
vertical effect
appearance when
t several years
following construction until vegetation cover matures.
LANDSCAPING FOR RETAINING WALL: Use Permit condition requires
provisions of tree pockets in downslope retain wall to provide
vertical relief; technically infeasible to shape pockets in wall
plane. Alternate proposal of 2' wide planter strip between wall
face and back of curb, with trees placed in concrete root
retainers.
ASAC
- BUILDING FORM: Found limited 'use of three story sections
appropriate and consistent with the intent of previous
direction.
LANDSCAPING: Determined that lalt:ernat'i.ve tree planting strategy
will accomplish the"object"ive .of screening without use of
"pockets." Required minor alteration of tree types selected for
wall screening.
