ITEM 5
VARIANCE 90-12/MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 90-79
APPLICANT: LEROY MARTEN
Mayor Goldsmith opened the public hearing. Item introduced by City Manager
Bowersox. Staff report by Assistant Director of Planning Services Streeter. On
January 15, 1991, the City Council approved this request for a variance of seven
feet from the required front yard setback for a doubles tennis court at 13959
Arbolitos Drive. In response to a request from the public, the City Council
concurred to rehear this item. The major issue is the aesthetic impact of
reduced screening which was required to maintain visibility for the pedestrian
pathway that will adjoin this property. Following presentation by Karen
VanHensbergen during last week's Public Oral Communications where she presented
pictures of an existing court surrounded by a stucco wall on Carriage and Pequot
staff would suggest a wall as an option. Staff recommends approval.
