PUBLIC HEARINGS
ITEM 1: 16362 Hilow Road
Architecture and Site Application S-16-0 11
Requesti ng approval to construct a new single-famil y residence on property zoned
R-1 :8. APN 532-04-082.
PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: Yaly Jalalian
PROJECT PLANNER: Susie Pineda
I . Chair Machado opened the public hearing.
2. Staff gave report on proposed project.
3. Applicant was introduced and exp lained that the fo ll owing revi sions were made:
• The house will be moved 1 0 feet back from the street.
• The second floor windows will be raised to address pri vacy concerns.
• An eight-foot privacy fence will be built before the start of construction.
• The applicant determined an acceptable haul route for the excavation.
4. Members of the public were present.
Bill and Debra Wagner suggested to move the house back an additional 10 feet. They were
a lso concerned about th e height of the house. The additional property line trees are not
necessary or desirable. They feel an eight-foot privacy fence would be adequate.
J eanne Driedger preferred if the house were kept more towards the street, rather than
constructing a massive house.
Shannon Susick commented that the application shou ld be forwarded to the Planning
Commission because the proposed house is mass ive and the area is mo stly single-story homes.
5. Public h earing closed.
