Andv and Kathy Glatt. Apolicants: A request for a reduction of the required 20 foot side yard setback to 10 feet 3 inches, to allow for the construction of a 559 square foot bedroom/bath addition to an existing single-family home located at 13126 Silver Saddle Lane, in the RR-C zone. APN: 275-630-02 BACKGROUND The applicants are proposing to build a 559 square foot room addition to an existing home. The addition consists of two bedrooms and a new bathroom. It would be attached to the east side of the house and would therefore require a setback variance from the required 20 feet to 10 feet 3 inches. FINDINGS The Rural Residential-C zone requires a twenty foot side yard setback. At the time of development, the subject area was approved under a different set of setback and general development standards. The CC&R's for the property and the neighborhood call out a minimum ten foot sideyard setback. There are other properties within Silver Saddle Ranch which observe this minimum setback. The property in question is a somewhat irregularly shaped lot and contains an already existing home and pool/pool decking as well as trail easements along two sides. The master bedroom suite and the garage are located on the west side of the house. The property slopes downward toward the west. The new addition is being placed in the most available buildable portion of the approximately one-half acre residential lot. Ten feet of area will be maintained for landscape screening for the benefit of the adjacent neighbor. There are no adverse impacts to surrounding property owners anticipated. The structure will be constructed in the same architectural style as the home and will be in keeping with the adopted standards and procedures for the Silver Saddle community plan. eT 2 8 1997 ITEM 1 2 of 10 Agenda Report October 28, 1997 Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The subject project is exempt, under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Class 3, a small residential structure.

P- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF POWAY, CALIFORNIA APPROVING VARIANCE 97-08 ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NUMBER 275-630-02 WHEREAS, Variance 97-08 submitted by Andy and Kathy Glatt, Applicants, request approval for a reduction of the required 20 foot side yard setback to 10 feet 3 inches, to allow for the construction of a 559 square foot bedroom/bath addition to an existing single- family home located at 13126 Silver Saddle Lane, in the RR-C zone; and WHEREAS, on October 28, 1997, the City Council held a duly advertised public hearing to solicit comments from the public, both pro and con, relative to this application. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council does hereby resolve as follows: Section 1: Environmental Findings: The City Council finds that Variance 97-08 is exempt from the provisions of the Califomia Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption Class 3, as the project is a small residential structure. Section 2: Findinos: 1. The approved project is consistent with the general plan in that it proposes the construction of an addition to a single family home on a lot that is designated for residential use. 2. That there are special circumstances applicable to the property, and because of this, the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance deprives the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity under identical zoning classification. The special circumstances include the fact that the lot is an irregular shape and that, in consideration of the existing floor plan of the home, the area chosen for the addition can most appropriately accommodate the proposed structure. The surrounding yard area contains impediments to construction including a pool, decking on the north side, and sloping topography on the west side of the lot. 3. That granting the variance or its modification is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity and zoning for which the variance is sought, in that other properties in the Silver Saddle Ranch neighborhood also contain ten foot side yard areas. OCT 2 8 1997 ITEM 1 . , 4 of 10 ATTACHMENT A - Resolution No. P- Page 2 4. That granting the variance or its modification will not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located in that the building will observe a ten foot side yard setback which will provide ample room for the maintenance of landscaping as a visual screen. 5. That the granting of this variance does not constitute a special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon other properties in the vicinity and zone as illustrated in #4. Silver Saddle Ranch CC&R's permit a minimum ten foot side yard setback. 6. That the granting of this variance does not allow the use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by zoning development regulations governing the parcel or property in that accessory structures are permitted by right in residential areas. Section 3: Citv Council Decision: The City Council hereby approves Variance 97-08 subject to the following conditions of approval: Within 30 days of approval the applicant shall submit in writing that all conditions of approval have been read and understood.
