PUBLIC HEARINGS
1. APPEAL - 367 HILL STREET (File No. 407)
Council held a public hearing to consider an appeal by Rob Strong of a
Planning Commission action to deny a use permit for a new house on a sensitive
site at 367 Hill Street; William and Beatrice Jeong, applicants (continued
from 8/7/90).
Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director, reviewed the agenda report with
the recommendation that Council, after considering public testimony and
Planning Commission comments, adopt a resolution to uphold or deny the appeal
subject to appropriate findings and conditions. He stated the proposed house
size and visual prominence were discussed in terms of the City's Hillside
Planning Standards. The house appears to comply with most, if not all, of the
Hillside Standards, however, it will be visually prominent due to its large
size and visibility from Chorro Street and State Highway 101. With careful
attention to building colors, materials and landscaping, staff felt the house
could be compatible with the neighborhood and its hillside setting. The
Planning Commission had voted 4 -2 to deny the use permit because the proposed
use did not conform to Hillside Planning Standards requiring houses to be
stepped to follow the natural terrain, and the requirement that hillside
grafting be minimized. Further, that the proposed house would be excessively
prominent and would not fulfill the "S" designation objectives.
Mayor Dunin declared the public hearing open.
Rob Strong, representing the Jeongs, showed a brief slide presentation and,
argued that the adverse visual impacts were minimal. He recommended support
of the project.
Frank Sheehan, 1632 Fredericks, also spoke in support of the project.
Ralph Lingle, 396 Lincoln, spoke in support of the project.
Mayor Dunin declared the public hearing closed.
After brief discussion moved by Reiss /Raooa (3 -1 -1, Councilman Roalman voting
342

Tuesday, September 4, 1990 - 7:00 p.m.
no, Councilwoman Pinard absent) to adopt Resolution No. 6865 to uphold the
appeal subject to appropriate findings and conditions.
2. TENTATIVE MAP - 1815 SYDNEY STREET (File No. 410)
Council held a public hearing to consider a tentative map for Minor
Subdivision 90 -127, as recommended by the Subdivision Hearing Officer,
creating two lots from one lot at 1815 Sydney Street; Casey O'Connor,
subdivider (continued from 8/7/90).
Arnold Jonas, Community Development Director, reviewed the agenda report with
the recommendation that Council adopt the resolution which would deny the
tentative map based on findings recommended by the Subdivision Hearing
Officer. He stated that the Hearing Officer recommended had determined that
the request for exceptions to subdivision and grading regulations were not
justified. He stated the subdivider argues that the subdivision would be very
similar to other developments the City has approved in the vicinity. However,
the steepness of the site, its prominent location, the existence of wetland
habitat and the possible extension of Sydney Street, all evaluated in the
staff report, would support denial.
Mayor Dunin declared the public hearing open.
Dan Lloyd, representing the O'Connor and Columbo families, spoke in support of
the project. He did not feel the requested cul -de -sac would be necessary at
this location. He also requested deletion of conditions 2, regarding
dedication of land on and off -site for the extension of Sydney Street, and
condition 3, installation of curbs and gutters on both sides of Sydney Street.
Jim ward, a neighboring property owner, expressed concern with the requirement
for increasing the width of street.
Dan Coates, 1751 Sydney, a next -door neighbor, submitted a letter into the
record supporting the lot split, but was concerned with the access
requirements.
Casey O'Connor, applicant, spoke in support of the lot split.
Jim Jones, 1817 Sydney Street, spoke in support of the lot split.
Mayor Dunin declared the public hearing closed.
Councilwoman Rama expressed concern about extending Sydney Street, but felt
the project was consistent with the neighborhood and supported the sensitive
site designation.
Councilman Roalman supported the staff recommendation to deny the project.
Councilman Reiss said that while he could support the project, he was also
concerned with the extension of Sydney Street.

Council held a public hearing to consider a Planning Commission recommendation
to approve the tentative map for Tract 2017 creating an 8 -unit residential
planned development condominium at 550 Dana Street, O-N -PD zone; Jim Duenow,
subdivider.

the recommendation that Council adopt the resolution approving the tentative
map creating 8 residential condominium lots and one common lot as recommended
by the Planning Commission.

Brian Staff, representing Mr. and Mrs. Duenow, spoke in support.

Laverne Schneider, 1364 Marsh Street, urged against the request for water from

resources.

repaid and what would be the cost.
