DL/**/CM14-2860wp51 (11-10-92) ATTACHMENT "A" FINDINGS FOR EXCEEDING THE STANDARD 26 FOOT HEIGHT LIKIT . (SECTION 30.16.010B7b of the MUNICIPAL CODE) Resolution No. L-92-15 Case No. 92-182 DR Applicant: Robert Hamilton 1. The portion of the building outside of the standard envelope maintains some of the significant views enjoyed by residents of nearby properties. Facts: The maximum structure height (29.25') for the project occurs at the southerly end of Roof Ridge B which is depicted on the Building Elevations and the Roof Plan. Other structure heights which exceed the standard 26' height occur at Roof Ridge A (28'), Roof Ridge C (26.25'), Roof Ridge D (28.25') and Roof Ridge E (27.5'). A total of three chimneys are proposed for the structure. The maximum chimney height (30') for the project occurs on Fireplace Chimney A as depicted on the elevations and roof plan, Fireplace Chimney B maintains a height of 28.75' and Fireplace Chimney C maintains a height of 24'. An Adjacent Site Plan and View-Line Section was submitted with the project application for reference to the existing view corridors and surrounding properties. . Discussion: As shown on the Adjacent Site Plan and View-Line Section there is a view to the west which will be enjoyed by the subject site and is currently enjoyed by the nearby residences at 371 'and 375 Hillcrest Drive. The proposed project will not affect those properties which currently enjoy an ocean view since the site is located lower than and behind those properties. A single family residence exists to the south of the site, 1771 Hillcrest Scenic Lane, which does not enjoy views since it is surrounded by heavy vegetation and trees and due to the fact that it is located behind a ridgeline which runs perpendicular to Hillcrest Scenic Lane. Additionally, the existing residences to the east of the site, located at 1712 and 1716 Eolus, do not enjoy westerly views due to the ridgeline; it appears that they enjoy back country views to the east which will not be affected by the subject project since it is located to the west of these properties. Conclusion: Since no existing views of nearby properties will be affected by the subject project the Board finds that the portion of the building outside of the standard envelope maintains some of the significant views enjoyed by residents of nearby properties. 2. The building is compatible in bulk and mass with building on neighboring properties. Facts: The project proposes a two-story single family residence of . 4860 square feet which includes a first floor living area of 2183 square feet, a second floor living area of 1972 square feet and a three car garage of 705 square feet. An 811 square foot deck is DL/**/CM14-2860wp51 (11-10-92) proposed on the first floor, a 456 square foot deck is proposed on the second floor and a 254 square foot roof deck is also proposed. The subject project proposes a lot coverage of 29% in conformance with the R-3 maximum standard of 35% and an FAR of .37. All but . one of the surrounding residences are two-story structures which maintain heights from 26' to 30'. A single story residence is located to the west of the site at 371 Hillcrest Drive, the owners of which have told the applicant that they plan to construct a second story addition in the future. Discussion: Although the project proposes 4860 square feet, it proposes seven major roof ridges which run in different directions and are offset in different locations and heights which work to breakup the mass of the structure. The structure proposes a first story, second story and roof deck which adds interest to the structure. Additionally, extensive windows are proposed for the structure which also works to minimize bulk and mass of the structure. Conclusion: The Board finds that the proposed two story structure is compatible in bulk and mass with buildings on neighboring properties since two-story structures dominate the neighborhood and although the structure is of significant size its bulk and mass is offset by the design amenities proposed with the project such as roof ridges, offset planes, decks, and windows. . .
