APPEAL OF MINOR DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 92-17
OWNERS: ROBERT AND MARION SCIRE
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. On May 13, lg92, the Planning Services
Department approved Minor Development Review 92-17 for a single family home on
an existing graded pad at 17953 Cielo Court. Angelo Mazzone, owner of an
adjacent lot has appealed that approval based on the belief that the Scire
residence will jeopardize the full development potential of his lot. He is
requesting an entitlement from the City to allow his future home to be 35 feet
high if that is the maximum height allowed when he builds so that the Scires
cannot protest he is blocking their view when he builds. Staff recommends the
appeal be denied.
Speaking in opposition to staff recommendation:
Angelo Mazzone, 21021Ventura Blvd., Woodland Hills, stated he wants to
be sure the Scires do not protest a future 35 foot home on his lot.
Keith Kelley, 2620 Canyon Road, Escondido, developer of Highlands Ranch,
reminded the Council of the appeal granted Mr. Royster in 1988 over
this same issue.
Speaking in favor of staff recommendation:
Marian Scire, 17586 Via Lomas Drive
Robert Scire, 17586 Via Lomas Drive
Assistant City Attorney Smith noted that the city does not have a view protection
ordinance and the Council should not take any action on Mr. Mazzone's request for
an entitlement.
Following discussion, motion by Councilmember Emery, seconded by Councilmember
Higginson to deny the appeal and adopt Planning Resolution No. P-92-27, entitled,
"A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Poway, California, Approving
Minor Development Review 92-17, Assessor's Parcel Number 273-901-47," and direct
staff to file this report for reference in connection with a future Minor
Development Review for Lot 7 in the Highlands Ranch subdivision. Motion carried
unanimously. Councilmember McIntyre suggested that the Scires' might consider
regrading their lot to help satisfy Mr. Mazzone's concerns.
