BACKGROUND:
The subject property is located on the east side of Robin Way (Exhibit 1). The lot is
approximately 13,112-square feet with an existing 2,466-square foot single-story residence
with a 542-square foot garage. The immediate neighborhood contains one-story residences.
On November 13, 2019, the applicant submitted an Architecture and Site application for the
demolition of an existing single-family dwelling, construction of a new 3,737-square foot single-
story residence, and a 508-square foot attached garage.
The proposed project meets all technical requirements of the Town Code including parking,
height, floor area, setbacks, and building coverage.
On June 9, 2020, the Development Review Committee (DRC) approved the Architecture and
Site application with an additional condition to address privacy concerns from the adjacent
neighbor as detailed in the Discussion section of this report.
On June 19, 2020, the decision of the DRC was appealed to the Planning Commission by the
adjacent neighbor (appellant), due to concerns regarding privacy (Exhibit 14).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
A. Location and Surrounding Neighborhood
The subject site is located on the east side of Robin Way (Exhibit 1). The surrounding
properties are one-story single-family residences with Ranch Style architecture.
B. Project Summary
The applicant is proposing to construct a new 3,737-square foot one-story single-family
residence with an attached 508-square foot garage (Exhibit 16). The proposed residence
would be located within the area of the existing development.
C. Zoning Compliance
A single-family residence is permitted in the R-1:10 zone. The proposed residence is in
compliance with the allowable floor area, height, setbacks, and on-site parking
requirements for the property.

DISCUSSION:
A. Architecture and Site Analysis
The applicant is proposing to construct a new single-family residence with 3,737 square feet
of living space, and a 508-square foot attached garage. The proposal also includes an
attached open and covered loggia at the east end of the proposed residence which does not
count towards floor area maximums. The maximum height of the proposed residence is 18
feet 1 inch, where a maximum of 30 feet is allowed.
The proposed project materials include a standing seam metal roof, integral colored stucco,
stone veneer siding, horizontal wood siding, and metal windows and trim. A color and
materials board are included with this staff report (Exhibit 5). The applicant has provided a
Written Description/Letter of Justification detailing the project (Exhibit 6). The project data
sheet is attached as Exhibit 4 and includes additional information regarding the proposed
project.
B. Building Design
The Town’s Consulting Architect reviewed the design of the proposed project within the
neighborhood context to provide recommendations regarding the building design (Exhibit
7). The site is in a neighborhood of one-story Ranch Style homes. In the Issues and
Concerns background section of the report, the Consulting Architect noted that the home
fundamentally fits the Ranch Style, but identified issues with the Town’s Residential Design
Guidelines. In the Recommendations section of the report, the Consulting Architect made
the following recommendation(s) to address consistency with the Residential Design
Guidelines:
1. Simplify the taller boxy elements on the front façade.
2. Limit the wood siding to accent locations (e.g., recessed entry, rear patio and right-side
pop out).
3. Select a less prominent garage door compatible with the Ranch Style of the home and
the immediate neighborhood.
4. Select a roof material more similar to other homes in the immediate neighborhood.
5. Use wood or other non-metal windows with traditional jamb dimensions.
6. Use wood trim at all windows and doors.
7. Simplify the wood pop up and roof on the rear façade and right-side elevation.
The applicant revised the project to incorporate the Consulting Architect’s
recommendations prior to the May 19, 2020 DRC public hearing (Exhibit 9).

DISCUSSION (continued):
Following the May 19, 2020 DRC hearing, the applicant further revised the design to
respond to the concerns of the neighbors by lowering the height, replacing the flat roof
parapet over the front bay with a gable, and changing the materials to warmer colors prior
to DRC approval.
C. Neighborhood Compatibility
The immediate neighborhood is made up of one-story single-family residences. Based on
Town and County records, the residences in the immediate area range in size from 1,973-
square feet to 3,967-square feet. The floor area ratios range from 0.139 to 0.307. The
proposed residence would be 3,737-square feet with a floor area ratio of 0.285. Pursuant
to Town Code, the maximum allowable square footage for the 13,112-square foot lot is
3,738-square feet with a maximum floor area ratio of 0.285. The table below reflects the
current conditions of the immediate neighborhood:

The proposed residence would not be the largest home in the immediate neighborhood in
terms of square footage or FAR.
The applicant reached out to surrounding neighbors during the review process and reported
not receiving any initial concerns (Exhibit 15).
D. Tree Impacts
The Town’s Arborist prepared a report for the site and recommendations for the project
(Exhibit 8). The project site contains one protected tree. The applicant is proposing to
remove four fruit trees and one protected tree. The existing protected tree proposed for
removal is a Fir tree located on the rear east corner of the property.

DISCUSSION (continued):
If the project is approved, tree protection measures would be implemented prior to and
during construction. Replacement trees would also be required to be planted pursuant to
Town Code.
E. Development Review Committee
The DRC held a public hearing for the Architecture and Site application on May 19, 2020.
Written public hearing notices were sent to surrounding property owners and occupants
within 300 feet of the subject property.
Several neighbors, including Robert Buxton, Gordon Yamate, Liz Crites, Lora Lee and Jim
Zaky, and Mark Willey, submitted correspondence or spoke on the item. Mr. Yamate
submitted correspondence voicing his support for the project. Other neighbors raised
concerns about the compatibility of the project with the neighborhood in terms of size,
scale, and design. The DRC continued the item to June 2, 2020 to allow the applicants to
address neighbor concerns. On June 2, 2020 the item was continued to June 9, 2020.
During the continuance, the applicant met with the neighbors and further revised the
design to respond to the concerns by lowering the height, replacing the flat roof parapet
over the front bay with a gable, and changing the materials to warmer colors. The story
pole installation was revised and certified to represent the lowered height.
At the June 9, 2020 DRC public hearing, several neighbors, including Gordon Yamate, Lora
Lee and James Zaky, Liz Crites, and Robert Buxton spoke on the item.
Mr. Yamate spoke to voice his support for the project. Ms. Crites and Mr. Buxton raised
concerns related to architecture, mass, and scale compatibility. The Zaky’s raised concerns
regarding views to the north, scale, and privacy impacts associated with the removal of
apple trees and landscaping. The applicant agreed to a condition of approval to install an
eight-foot fence and increased landscape screening for privacy on the south side, and Mr.
Zaky confirmed he would be amenable to that condition; however, he did not feel it would
fully address his concerns (Exhibit 13).
The DRC found that the application was complete and in compliance with the Town Code
and Residential Design Guidelines. Based on these findings and considerations, the DRC
approved the proposed project, subject to the recommended conditions of approval
(Exhibit 3).

DISCUSSION (continued):
F. Appeal
On June 19, 2020, the decision of the DRC was appealed to the Planning Commission by the
adjacent neighbor, James Zaky (Exhibit 14). The specific reasons for the appeal are provided
below, followed by analysis in italic font.
“Secure commitment from applicant to address privacy concerns. The DRC proposed the
applicant replace the existing 5’ fence w/an 8’ fence between 146:140 Robin Way. Both
parties agreed in concept. We are requesting a formal commitment by the applicant.”
The existing wood fence is six-feet tall and in conformance with Town Code sec. 29.40.0315,
which states that fences may not exceed six feet in height with a one-foot lattice on top.
Condition of approval 11 states that the south side fence shall not be less than eight feet in
height; and screening shall be added to the satisfaction of the Community Development
Director. The final Building permit will not be approved until the condition is met.
G. Environmental Review
The project is Categorically Exempt pursuant to the adopted Guidelines for the
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, Section 15303: New
Construction or Conversion of Small Structures.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Following the filing of the appeal the applicant and appellant have met. On July 14, 2020, the
applicant reported having met with the appellant on July 9, 2020 to discuss the fence and
screening. No update has been provided since July 14, 2020. At the time of this report’s
preparation, the Town has not received any public comment.
Certified story poles, and a project sign including the hearing date, contact information, project
description, were installed on the site; and the written notice of the Development Review
Committee public hearing was sent to neighboring property owners and occupants. Following
the May 19, 2020 public hearing, the story pole installation was revised and certified to
represent the lowered height proposed in response to neighbor concerns. Following the
appeal, written notice of the Planning Commission hearing was sent to neighboring property
owners and occupants, the story poles have remained in place, and the project sign has been
updated to reflect the appeal hearing before the Planning Commission.

RE: 146 Robin Way
Dear Diego:
I reviewed the drawings, and evaluated the site context. My comments and recommendations are as follows:
Neighborhood Context
The site is located in a traditional neighborhood dominated by one-story Ranch Style homes. Photographs of the site and
neighborhood are shown on the following page.

Design Review Comments

ISSUES AND CONCERNS
The fundamental Ranch Style fits well with this neighborhood, but there are a number of conflicts with the Residential
Design Guidelines:
1. Multiple low slope roofs are not consistent with the Residential Design Guidelines.
3.5.1 Unify roof pitches
3.3.2 Height and bulk at front and side setbacks
• Avoid eave lines and roof ridge lines that are substantially taller than the adjacent houses.
3.3.1 Develop the house plans and elevations together
• Work within the traditional forms of the architectural style selected. Unless the architectural style selected
clearly supports substantial complexity, generally keep building massing and roof forms simple as is the norm for
traditional architecture.
146 Robin Way
Design Review Comments
December 9, 2019 Page 4
2. Metal roofing is not consistent with the Residential Design Guidelines.
3.8.2 Select materials that are sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood
3. The garage door with metal and translucent glazing is out of character with this neighborhood, and is not consistent
with Residential Design Guideline 3.4.1.
3.4.1 Limit the prominence of garages
• Avoid designs that allow the garage to dominate the street facade.
• Integrate the garage into the house forms in a manner that de-emphasizes the garage doors.
4. Metal windows are not consistent with Residential Design Guideline 3.7.3
3.7.3 Match window materials to the architectural style and to the surrounding neighborhood
• Wood windows are common in Los Gatos. Wood is still the desired choice for styles that traditionally used
wood. However, today there are some window materials, such as vinyl clad wood windows that are not notice-
ably different from wood at a short distance. They may be used if their visual appearance matches wood.
• Generally, avoid metal windows. They may be considered acceptable for a Modern Style house, but would be
strongly discouraged for all other styles. Windows with some depth from the frame to the glass are desirable.
Proposed garage door

Design Review Comments
December 9, 2019 Page 5
5. The low slope box forms at the rear of the house are very awkward.
6. Changing materials in the same plane is not consistent with Residential Design Guideline 3.8.4.

Design Review Comments
December 9, 2019 Page 6
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following recommendation focus on simplifying the design to improve its compatibility with the immediate
neighborhood.
1. Simplify the taller boxy elements on the front facade.
2. Limit the wood siding to accent locations (e.g., recessed entry, rear patio and right side pop out).
3. Select a less prominent garage door compatible with the Ranch Style of the home and the immediate neighborhood.
4. Select a roof material more similar to other homes in the immediate neighborhood.
5. Use wood or other non-metal windows with traditional jamb dimensions.
6. Use wood trim at all windows and doors.
7. Simplify the wood pop up and roof on the rear facade and right side elevation.

Introduction
I have been requested by the Los Gatos Community Development Department to review
the potential impacts on 6 trees associated with the construction of a Single-Family
residence at 146 Robin Way, Los Gatos.
Trees on Site
Tree #1 is a Coastal Redwood with a diameter of approximately 38”. This tree is showing
decent health and shows nice vigor located on neighboring property. It is slated to remain.
Tree #2 is a Apple tree with a diameter of approximately 12” inches with a canopy of 12’.
This tree is showing good health. This tree is proposed for removal.
Tree #3 is a Persimmon with a diameter of approximately 10”. This tree is showing good
health. It is slated to remain.
Trees #4 is an Apricot with a diameter of approximately 10” with a canopy of 10’.It is in
moderate health. This tree is proposed for removal.
Tree #5 is a Fir tree with a diameter of approximately 22” with a canopy of 15’. This tree is
proposed for removal due to proximity to power lines that are located on rear property line.
Tree #6 is a Apple tree with a diameter of approximately 7” with a canopy of 8’. Tree is in
good health. It is slated for removal.
Tree #5 requires replacement of 2 – 24” box trees for a total of 2 trees to be planted on site
before completion of the project.
Recommendation
Tree #1 is proposed to remain. The applicant is proposing removal of existing driveway and
replacing with pavers as per plan details. Tree protection in the form of fencing shall be up
and in place as far from tree trunk as is possible before construction begins.
Tree #3 is proposed to remain and shall be protected for the duration of this project.
Standard protection measures are appropriate to protect the tree during construction per
Section 29.10.1005 of the Town Code. Any excavation around the tree will be hand
digging.
Trees #5 is approved for removal as requested pending submittal of Tree removal permit
through Town Engineering office.

RE: May 19, 2020 DRC Meeting
Subject: Public Comment re 146 Robin Way
Architecture and Site Application S-19-043. APN 532-12-015
Dear Members of the Town of Los Gatos, Development Review Committee,
We are writing to ask that you NOT approve the application, in its current form, for the residence at 146 Robin Way.
Those of us who live on Stonybrook, Cardinal and Robin consider ourselves very fortunate to live together in such a picturesque, cohesive and cooperative neighborhood, and we hope to find an amicable solution to the home needed for a wonderful family.
However, we must object to this application for the following reasons:
1.The proposed increase in square footage is too big for the lot. The current home is just under 2200 sq. ft. The plans are to increase the size to approximately 4800 sq. ft. This is more than doubling the size. The lot size is just around 1/3 of an acre. There are only 4 other homes in this neighborhood with 5 bedrooms (proposed in the plan). Two of them (105 Stonybrook and 126 Robin) have just over 1/2 acre lots, with only 4564 sq. ft and 3967 sq. ft respectively). The third 5 bedroom home, at 120 Cardinal Lane is on .36 of an acre, but has only 2500 sq.ft. The 4th, at 120 Stonybrook, on .28 acres, has a basement. Proportionally this proposal is far too oversized in look and feel for this neighborhood.
2.The height is simply too tall. The height of the proposed home would dwarf some of the other homes on the street and take away views of the hills and trees from several of the homes, as well. While the total height may be just within the limits, it does not fit with the overall feel of the neighborhood.
3.The style is not in line with the current Ranch style permeating the neighborhood. There have been at least a dozen remodels within the last couple of decades in our neighborhood but all of them have maintained an exterior style that still fits well, esthetically, with the long standing and original ranch style this neighborhood was built with. This proposed modern exterior simply doesn’t fit.
We hope there is another solution for Leila and Mehrdad to meet the needs of their family, perhaps a basement that would not cause the home to be so oversized both in total square footage and height, and a slightly more traditional facade keeping in line with the look and feel of this much loved neighborhood.
Finally, I would like to sit in on the Zoom meeting as an observer.
Thank you for your time.
Respectfully,

Dear Members of the Development Review Committee,
At the first DRC Meeting on May 19th, my husband represented our concerns about the 146 Robin Way
Architecture and Site Application. I am now compelled to speak up also as I want to ensure you each
have full visibility as to what has transpired since we last met. As the next-door neighbor who will be
directly impacted by this Proposal, we hope you take this vote seriously as for us it will forever impact
our views, our sense of privacy and our neighborhood charm.
During the 20 years we have lived in the Stonybrook Subdivision, we have seen a number of homes
including ours be remodeled and updated. Since many of you may not be familiar with our Subdivision,
my husband is sending you photos of the upgraded California ranch style homes in the immediate area
that we would like you to share in today’s Zoom Room. You will each discover that every single home
that has been upgraded did so with a visible commitment to the Design Elements that are outlined in
the Town of Los Gatos 2020 Plan which states that, “New structures, remodels, and landscapes, and
hardscapes shall be designed to harmonize and blend with the scale and rhythm of the neighborhood”.
The Application that you are reviewing today does not meet this Requirement.
When we were last together at the DRC, all of you unanimously agreed that you would neither deny nor
approve this proposed Architecture and Site Application in order to see if the Architect could work with
the homeowners who would be directly impacted to propose changes that would address the concerns
escalated by the neighbors. We assumed that the Committee and more importantly the Architect and
Applicant Homeowners would read our letters and listen to our concerns. Since that Forum, we learned
that relative to the Homeowners this was not the case.
When we met with the Architect at the Homeowner’s Property, he presented the proposed changes
which included: 12” inch drop in elevation height, change in the color of the metal industrial roof which
they have softened by adjusting the color from black to brown, and an extended roof line to cover the
top edge of the stone portion of the façade only. Although it had not been made apparent to us, we
learned that their Landscaping Plan which includes the removal of the two tall, very large and very
mature trees which today provide the only sense of privacy we have in our backyard. We don’t want to
wait another 10 years for new trees to mature so that we once again have privacy yet this has not been
sufficiently addressed.
My husband documented our concerns for the Committee and also sent Mehrdad and Leila a personal
letter indicating how much we appreciate them as neighbors yet feel very concerned by the impact of
their construction to our lives. My husband will no longer see the sky and trees from his office windows
and our guest room. Instead, there is no longer a view but rather a metal industrial roof. We addressed
concerns over the selected architecture, scale, and design. Unfortunately, we assumed that they would
read our letter and would do something to specifically address our issues.
In preparation for our conversation today, they met with the neighbors in groups to present their
proposed adjustments. When the Architect closed by asking if they had now met our concerns we were
shocked as the minor adjustments did not even scratch the surface. My husband looked directly at Leila
and Mehrdad and asked, “Did either of you even read our personal letter from May 13th or the
Documents and Photos I submitted to the DRC?” My husband would like you to show the photos that
he has taken from our windows to show you the dramatic impact of your new metal roof and stucco
hardscape relative to the views that we enjoy today. You are now completely blocking our views of any
trees, sky or sunlight?” Leila just looked and my husband and responded to his question by shaking her
head “No”.
For neighbors who led us to believe how much they cared, it was amazing to discover that they
proposed changes without even taking the time to understand nor address our concerns in a meaningful
way. We find it very disappointing that they have not taken the time to demonstrate that they
understand the concerns of the immediate neighbors in the Subdivision who will be directly impacted.
They don’t have an appreciation for why we want to retain our views; our privacy, and uphold our
property value. I strongly urge you to deny this Application and with that I will turn it over to the next
Speaker. Thanks for your time.

RE: June 9, 2020 DRC Meeting
Subject: Public Comment re 146 Robin Way
Architecture and Site Application S-19-043. APN 532-12-015
Dear Members of the Town of Los Gatos, Development Review Committee,
We are writing to ask that you NOT approve the application, in its current form, for the residence at 146 Robin Way. This is our second letter stating our disapproval of the current plans. The first was submitted to the May 19th DRC meeting.
Our main concern is that the facade of the home is simply too modern to blend in with the rest of the homes in our Stonybrook neighborhood.
While we appreciate that the homeowners set up driveway meetings with groups of opposing neighbors and the architect, to review the changes they had made since the May 19th mtg, and answer any questions, we feel the style changes are negligible.
In fact, after looking at the original drawings and the new drawings for some time, I had to ask the architect to point out the changes as they were not at all clear to see.
We hear the architect when he says this is a Transitional Style and not a Modern Style home design, however, in comparison to the other homes is this neighborhood we argue it is quite a bit more modern that the rest.
We feel very strongly that the homes in this charming and tight knit neighborhood should remain in the style that is currently existing in order it to maintain its much sought after appeal.
Approving this modern home would most certainly set a precedent for the approval of even more modern style homes to come with the next request.
The homeowners delivered to us their May 19 letter to the DRC on June 6. It states only 5 neighbors, out of 32 homes have objected in writing. While that is true, there are at least 5-7 more who object to the modern style but have not put their objections into writing. In addition, 4 of the homes (3 direct neighbors of the applicant) are currently being rented and not owner occupied. I urge the DCR, who I understand are not residents of Los Gatos, to find more than the one neighbor sited in this letter, who feels the “houses are tired-looking”.
There are approximately 12 fo the 32 homeowners in the Stonybrook neighborhood who have owned and lived here for at least 25 years, some nearing 40 years. Additional owners who have bought into the area within the last 20 years, and as recent as the last 4 years, have all remodeled and kept well within a ranch style that fits seemlessly into the esthetic of the existing homes. We simply do not believe this home, as currently designed, will do the same.
I will be sitting in on and would like to speak at the Zoom meeting on June 9, at 10am.
Respectfully submitted,
Liz & Bill Crites

Gary Kohlsaat
- He is the architect speaking on behalf of the request. This is a single-story home in a
single- story neighborhood in a transitional style bridging the traditional forms with
modern materials. The 4:12 hipped roof is compatible with the neighborhood and the
metal material is high quality and environmentally green. The height is only slightly
higher than that of the existing home and is screened with evergreens.
Jim Zaky
- He is the neighbor at 140 Robin Way. He has reviewed the drawings and is requesting
the proposed home be rejected, as it does not conform to the Design Element of the
General Plan, and it will be higher and closer to his house that the current home.
Mark Willey
- He is a neighbor and submitted written comments before the meeting. He is requesting
the home not be approved, as he is concerned it is not in harmony with the
neighborhood in terms of scale and size. He also notes that a cellar has not been
proposed to reduce its size above ground.
Robert Buxton
- He is a neighbor and submitted written comments before the meeting. He is against the
project. This is a special neighborhood which deserves respect, and previous remodels
have been respectful.
Leila Dehkordi
- She is the owner speaking on behalf of the request. Her family has lived in the house for
years, but they have outgrown in and it is in poor condition, making repairs more
difficult than construction of a new house.
Closed Public Comment.

Opened Public Comment.
Gary Kohlsaat
He is the architect speaking on behalf of the request. They reached out to the neighbors
and met in keeping with the COVID-19 order. They provided more drawings to illustrate the
neighborhood context. They revised the design of this single-story building by lowering the
height by 14 inches, changing the color palette to be warmer, and replacing the flat parapet
over the front bay with a hip roof to simplify the roof lines.
Gordon Yamate
He is a neighbor living on Robin Way. He sent an earlier message of enthusiastic
support for the fresh and stunning design. He understands there were concerns and believes
the project has addressed the concerns by modifying the design and the size. Regarding
concerns about the ranch style, in fact recent remodels have replaced ranch styles with fresh
designs. He would be very distressed if there were other concerns about changes to the
neighborhood that are at the heart of the current problems facing our Nation. Finally, he is
upset that anyone would imply the outreach was less than honest and complete.
James Zaky
He and Mrs. Zaky live adjacent to the project to the south at 140 Robin Way. He did
attend a neighborhood meeting, however, unfortunately the changes did not resolve his
concerns regarding his view to the north. He believes the scale conflicts with the Design
Element of the General Plan. Currently the view from their yard is covered by an apple tree and
PAGE 3 OF 4
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE MINUTES OF JUNE 9, 2020
N:\DEV\DRC\MINUTES\Min 2020\06-9-20 Minutes - FINAL.docx
landscaping that they understand will be removed and they are concerned about privacy in that
regard. In terms of due process, he is confused by a statement made by the architect at the
neighborhood meeting and wants to understand that the decision today is not before the
Planning Commission.
Liz Crites
She is a neighbor on Cardinal Lane. She loves this immediate neighborhood, its look,
feel, and people. She fully understands the need to increase a house to meet the needs of a
family. The changes to the façade that she was shown were not readily apparent to her. This
neighborhood is desirable because of the character of the traditional ranch style homes, and
she doesn’t want that character eroded by this precedent. She feels that in part the job of the
architect is to understand the desires of the neighbors.
Lora Lee Zaky
She and Mr. Zaky live adjacent to the project to the south at 140 Robin Way. She feels
strongly because they are the immediate neighbors whose personal privacy will be impacted.
They were upset that Mr. Dehkordi stated he had not read their letter when they met. She has
photos of seven homes in the neighborhood that have been updated in the country ranch style.
Directly impacted neighbors are those that are upset by the proposed home.
Robert Buxton
He is a neighbor who has submitted correspondence outlining neighbor concerns, and
the concerns have not been addressed. He is asking for a continuance; preferably to a meeting
that would take place in the Council Chambers. The concerned neighbors have the upmost
regard for the property owners. Some people did not receive their letters until yesterday, and
there is ample reason for a continuance again.
Mehrdad Dehkordi
He is the owner speaking on behalf of the request. He is grateful to the neighbors who
have supported the project. It has been a difficult time. They have tried to communicate with
the neighborhood. He misunderstood the Zakys’ question at their meeting, but he did read
their letter. They have modified the design. They have been responsive and willing to
compromise. He is thankful for consideration of the project today.
Sally Zarnowitz
Could the applicants speak to the screening on the south property line – would they be
willing to install an eight-foot fence if that is amenable to the Zakys?
Gary Kohlsaat
The apple tree is in poor condition. They are willing to install an eight-foot fence and
increase landscape screening for privacy on the south side.

address his concerns.

MOTION: Motion by R. Gray to approve with required findings and recommended
conditions of approval, with an additional condition that the South side
fence shall not be less than eight feet in height; and screening shall be
added to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.
