1. Chair Baily opened the public hearing.
2. Staff gave report on proposed project.
3. Applicant was introduced.
4. No one from the public was present
5. Public hearing closed.
6. Chair Baily moved to approve the application subject to conditions, with the following
findings:
· As required by Section 29.20.150 of the Town Code for Architecture and Site
applications. The considerations required by Sec. 29.20.150 of the Town Code
were all made in reviewing this application.
· As required by Section 29.10.265(3) of the Town Code for nonconforming lots.
The proposed addition and its use is compatible with the neighborhood in that:
1. There are no detached garages in the neighborhood,
2. The detached garage is unstable and the architecture of the structure is unsympathetic
to the existing house and is an eyesore to the neighborhood.
3. The proposed attached garage will improve the streetscape and will be more
consistent with the other attached garages in the neighborhood.
4. The side setback of the proposed garage is skewed, and therefore, the proposed side
yard setback will be less than what is existing.
· The application is Categorically Exempt from CEQA, Section 15303.

7. Parsons seconded motion passed unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 9:15A.M. The next regularly scheduled
meeting of the Development Review Committee is the next Tuesday.
