ITEM 6
VARIANCE gl-05/MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 91-30
APPLICANT: GABRIEL DEROSA
Mayor Goldsmith opened the public hearing. Item introduced by City Manager
Bowersox. Staff report by Director of Planning Services Wright-Quastler. This
is a request for an eight foot encroachment into a front yard setback and the
addition of 5,445 square foot to an existing single family home at 16637
Sagewood Lane. The encroachment requested will actually be less than the
existing encroachment by the garage. The garage will be demolished. The minor
development review is normally done at staff level, however because of the
variance it is coming to Council. The structure will be larger than others in
the neighborhood and very prominent because of its proximity to the street.
Staff reconT~ends approval.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Rosalind Orner, 16609 Sagewood Lane
Robert Collett, 13829 Sagewood Drive
Speakers were opposed to the size of the structure, stating it was inconsistent
with the neighborhood, and expressed concerns over increased traffic causing
additional parking problems on the narrow, private street, and potential uses
for other than residential purposes.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Gabriel DeRosa, 16638 Sagewood Lane.
Council concurred they could not make the necessary findings to approve this
project as the size is incompatible with the neighborhood. Motion by
Councilmember Higginson, seconded by Councilmember Emery, to close the public
hearing and deny Variance 91-D5 and Minor Development Review 91-30. Motion
carried unanimously.

Worker Housing Advisory Committee, who presented the Committee's report and had a
slide show of current housing conditions, agricultural labor housing in Sonoma
and Single Room Occupancy {SRO) hotels in downtown San Diego. The Committee's
recommendations include a transitional housing program by the churches; agri-
cultural employee housing program; waiving fees and allowing construction of
accessory apartments; supporting the development of SRO hotel in the commercial
zone; and establishing a $100 per day penalty for property owners who allow
individuals to live in substandard housing on their property.

for education for migrants of our laws, job training and expressed support for
SRO hotel.

the Committee's recommendations except easing standards for accessory apart-
ments.
Betty Rexford, 11570 Creek Road, and non-voting member of the Committee, also
expressed opposition to easing standards for accessory apartments and daily
rates in a SRO. She presented a pamphlet printed by For Parents and Kids Sake
regarding child abuse and requested the city donate funds to print it in
Spanish.
Vicki Lazowski, 14440 Golden Sunset Lane, also expressed opposition to easing
standards for accessory apartments.
Joe Archer, 13841Sagewood Lane, stated the city should be assisting documented,
not undocumented, workers.
Lynette Perkes, 15832 Lime Grove Road, cited population increases in Mexico and
suggested they need assistance with family planning policies.
Council discussion included need to determine how the proposals would accom-
modate families and reluctance to have approval of this report be construed as
approval of all the proposals. City Manager Bowersox stated that staff will be
bringing back each of the proposed programs for separate action including tran-
sitional housing, employer housing for agricultural workers, accessory housing,
single room occupancy hotel, amnesty period to eliminate substandard housing,
and penalty for property owners permitting individuals to live in substandard
housing.
Motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember Snesko to accept the
Committee's report and establish a permanent committee, meeting on an as-needed
basis, to oversee implementation, particularly the educational portion. Motion

studies for improvements to increase the level of service on the South Poway
Expressway/Community Road intersection. Staff recommends approval of a fully
signalized intersection.

South Poway Expressway in an effort to raise the speed limit from 45 miles per
hour.

Scouts apologizing for this being an item of discussion at the City Council
