APPLICANT: David Britt
PROJECT PLANNER: Jennifer Armer
Jennifer Armer, Senior Planner, presented the staff report.
Opened Public Comment.
John Housley
He lives across the street from the subject site. He is concerned about privacy impacts
to his house from the proposed project’s second story, the need for off -street parking spaces,
and construction traffic impacts. During the last construction project on the street emergency
vehicle access was blocked.
Garrett Brown
He lives at 17035 Pine Avenue. He is concerned about the small front setback, the
accuracy of the front setback as depicted by the story poles, and parking impacts on the street.
Carlos Uribe
He is the applicant. The front setback is as proposed because he plans to build an
accessory dwelling unit at the rear of the property, and the second story bedroom windows are
deep set.
Mike Rowe
He is the architect. Construction can be done well. Accessory dwelling unit might be
built before the main house. Second floor windows are set back from the front wall.
Committee members discussed the matter, noting that the landscape plan in the project file
includes two additional off-street parking spaces, and the conditions of approval require
restoration of roadway surface if damaged during construction, preparation of a construction
management plan, and no construction parking on Pine Avenue
