LOCATION: 15461 Shasta Lane (west side of Shasta Lane at intersection of McFadden Avenue and the 405 Freeway) PROJECT PLANNER: Ron Santos Ron Santos, Staff Planner, displayed project plans and photographs stating the purpose, location and zoning of the requested project. Staff stated that the request was heard before the Zoning Administrator on July 18, 2001, and was approved with modified conditions in order to meet visibility requirements. Staff recommended approval of the request as originally stated in the initial consideration. One telephone call was received from a neighboring property owner who expressed no concerns. No other verbal or written comments were received in response to the public notification. Mary Beth Broeren, Zoning Administrator, asked staff for an exhibit of the applicant's modified request of the proposed combination block wall and wrought iron fence. Staff stated that the applicant has not submitted an exhibit. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. David Di Paolo, 15461 Shasta Lane, applicant, stated that in the fourteen years he has resided at the project site there has never been a safety issue with respect to visibility. Mr. Di Paolo stated that he intends to leave the current fence as is and install a mirror such as those used in parking lots throughout the City thereby resolving the visibility issue. THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS PRESENT TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THE REQUEST AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Ms. Broeren reviewed with the applicant the chronology of agreements that took place during the initial hearing for this item held on July 18, 2001. Ms. Broeren stated that the concern expressed by her and staff at that time was for the safety of pedestrians and vehicular traffic caused by the lack of visibility. She stated that the City's requirement is to preclude, not continue, a situation that is clearly in violation of City requirements. Mr. Di Paolo stated that he understood the Zoning Administrator's decision at the initial hearing to be his only option at that time. He stated that he felt the fence would be ugly and would not serve its purpose. Ms. Broeren stated that she was willing to reconsider the item today because she understood the applicant to be amenable to the combination block wall and wrought iron fence. She stated that she expected to review an exhibit of the fence at today's hearing. Ms. Broeren and staff reviewed the original plans, discussed options, reconfigurations, and the proportions for the height of the block wall and wrought iron fence thereby allowing the applicant to retain a gate. Ms. Broeren advised the applicant that should he decide to change the return and angle of the gate, thereby resulting in more pavement, staff would have to review the plans. She stated that should the applicant decide on the foregoing, he would not have to apply for a conditional use permit provided that the plan complies with code. Discussion ensued concerning the requirement for landscaping and a 36-inch box tree as setforth in the conditions. 0 Ms. Broeren stated that she was going to oin approve the item with the following modifications: pp Finding No. 1: Conditional Use Permit No. 01-35 to construct a 6-ft. 8-in., in lieu of the 3-ft. 6-in., high masonry fence within the front yard setback area will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in the vicinity or detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood. The proposed fence, as conditioned, will maintain public safety by providing the required vision clearance at the driveway/street intersection. The use of masonry construction will ensure that property values will not be negatively impacted.
