REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS: CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 86-62 Applicant: Robert J. and Ste hanie J. Williams A request to permit the reduction of a front yard setback from the required fifteen feet (15') to twelve feet (12'). Subject property is located at 18042 Shoreview Circle (East side of Shoreview Circle approximately one hundred thirty feet (1301) North of Lakeview Drive), This request is covered by Categorical Exemption, Class 5, California Environmental Quality Act, 1984. So that a "conflict of interest" could not be construed, Board member Daryl Smith excused himself from this portion of the meeting because he was a resident of the tract in which this particular property was located. Staff reported this was a request to encroach three feet (31) into the front yard setback for an addition to an existing single family residence. Staff did not feel this encroachment would impact adjacent properties since there were other properties -with variances. These parcels are adjacent to the Central Park area and were granted fifteen foot (15') setbacks instead of twenty foot (201) setbacks. Staff recommended approval with conditions. Glen Godfrey commented about the variations in the setback line from seventeen feet (171) in some areas to twelve feet (121) in others, and Tom Poe asked if the open space requirements would be met. Staff replied in the affirmative. Staff also called to the Board's attention letters which were in the file from adjacent property owners in support of the variance. Minutes, H. B.
