• Steve Wallace reviewed Staff Comments, explained the scope of the
project and its conformance and compatibility with the existing Seven
Springs development. He stated that since the majority of the house
would not be seen from the Seven Springs development or from most of
the valley floor area, the three-story look of the house would be
hidden. He also stated that a fence at the lower portion of the lot
would hide the basement level of the house.
Committee Member Jackson stated she was abstaining from comment due to
possible conflict of interest.
Chairman Gong reviewed the architectural style and the appearance it
would have from adjoining residents. He stated he has had concerns
with the massive appearance of the building and the large use of
stucco.
Committee Member Hoxsie stated his concerns with the visual appearance
of the building and the tall height. He compared the height to the
house on Rainbow Drive which also has a very massive appearance. He
stated that the project should meet the Xeriscape Guidelines as well.
Committee Member Lim stated that he would like to see the
modifications when they were completed.
Chairman Gong explained to Mr. Wallace that ASAC could make a decision
or he could choose to have it continued in order to bring back
modifications.
DECISION:
On a 3 to 0 vote, Application ASAC 51,903.1 was continued to a date
uncertain.
3. APPLICATION ASAC 25-U-86 - ST. ANDREWS ARMENIAN CHURCH Requesting
review and approval to modify a previously approved landscaping plan.
The site is located 11370 S. Stelling Road, approximately 100 feet
north of Berland Court.
Tam Robillard clarified the scope of the project stating that the
intent of the application was to modify the sidewalk treatment and
landscaping in the front yard area of the church only. The plans as
submitted show a different landscaping treatment on the sides and rear
portion of the property which do not conform with the use permit
conditions.
Zaven Paparigin, Aram Henescan, and Ace Paul, St. Andrews Church,
reviewed Staff Comments and answered questions of the committee
members.
Kathryn Nickerson, 11360 S. Stelling Road, objected to more people
being in front of the church and expressed concerns of privacy and
noise intrusion.

material and the setback from the street.

Aram Henescan explained that crowds would only gather out front during
funerals which do not occur regularly.
In response to Chairman Gong's question, . Zaven Paparigin explained
that there would be a landscape screening on the north side consisting
of 5-gallon Oleanders. Chairman Gong expressed concern that they
would be too small and would take too long to grow in order to be
effective.
Micki Tsan, 7649 Berland Court, expressed concerns of parking
problems, safety from people hopping fences, and noise intrusion from
people picnicking at the rear portion of the lot.
In response to Committee Member Lim's question, Mr. Robillard
explained that if parking and over-use became a major problem, that
the City Council does have the authority to revoke the use permit.
Committee Member Jackson had no concerns regarding the new sidewalk
configuration, but expressed concerns regarding noise and privacy and
stated that the 8-foot wall should be extended further toward Stelling
Road in order to reduce those intrusions.
Committee Member Hoxsie expressed concerns regarding the sidewalk at
the northside and the landscaping treatment at the southside. He also
agreed that the walls should be extended closer toward Stelling and
1111) the landscaping should conform to the Xeriscape Guidelines.
Committee Member Lim also agreed with the wall extension.
DECISION:
On a 4-0 vote Application ASAC 25-U-86 was approved pursuant to the
findings and conditions contained in the Model Resolution with finding
No. 3 added and Conditions 11 and 12 added to read as follows:

conformance with the Xeriscape Guidelines.
