That the permit or variance granted is being or recently has been exercised contrary to the terms or conditions of such approval or in violation of any statute. ordinance, law or regul ation; "C.

JAMES BIRD, LOT 169A-MS Chairman Roberts opened discussion of a request by Mr. and Mrs. James Bird for a Conditional Use Permit for a pool house and tennis court as part of the development of Lot 169A-MS on Johns Canyon Road. The Chairman noted that the public hearing was continued from the last meeting of the Commission, and that a field trip was made to the site; he then invited comment from persons present at the meeting. There was none, and Chairman Roberts closed the public hearing. In discussing the request it was determined that the proposed construction would be in a location which is remote from the road, is compatible with the area, that the proposed tennis court can be • screened, and there was no objection from any neighbors who were notified in writing of the request. Commissioner Hankins moved that the request for a Conditional Use Permit be approved, subject to standard conditions of approval for tennis courts and cabanas, and that the approval specify" that there be no kitchen or sleeping fa- cilities in the pool house. Mr. Anderson said the prohibition is included in the standard conditions of approval for cabanas and other similar accessory buildings. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Frost and carried by the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: Commissioners Bundy, Field, Frost, Hankins, Chairman Roberts None ABSENT: None REQUEST FOR ASSIGNMENT OF ADDRESS FOR LOT 169A-MS In a letter to the Commission dated March 12, 1985 Mr. and Mrs. Bird advised that all odd numbers on Johns Canyon Road have been used, and in order to obtain building permits a street address must be as- signed. Two possible solutions were presented: 1) to renumber all Johns Canyon residences beyond the Bird property; or 2) to approve installation of a private driveway togiveaccess to the property from Johns Canyon Road, with all installation and maintenance costs to be the responsibility of Mr. and Mrs. Bird. If the private access drive is approved they requested that the name of the access be designated Storm Hill Lane. The Manager reported that the Fire Department requires that all residences in the City be numbered in sequence, and since no number. has been reserved for the property, which takes access from Johns • Canyon Road, provision must be made for identification. He said the proposed development on the property is considerable distance from Johns Canyon Road, and is adjacent to additional vacant property which presently has no access. In the event the adjacent property is developed at a.future date it will become necessary to build a road to provide access; at this time access can be given to the property by means of a private access drive to be maintained by the owner, which would provide access to the residence from Johns Canyon Road; The Planning Advisor recommended that if such access is approved, the Commission require that the lane consist of a 60 foot right of way, that.a 50 foot setback be required for construction, that a plan showing the location of the lane be submitted and that a note be placed on the plan stating that approval of a private driveway as access to the residence on Lot 169A-MS will not affect future subdivision of adjacent property. Commissioner Hankins moved that a private access driveway to the residence be approved, subject to requirements recommended by the Planning Advisor to be shown on a plan submitted by the appli- cant, and that the access be designated "Storm Hill Lane" with a number to be assigned in accordance with the numbering system in that part of the City, and further subject to a requirement that the private access not divide the property. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Frost and carried'by the following roll call vote: AYES: Commissioners Bundy, Field, Frost, Hankins Chairman Roberts NOES: None ABSENT: None Mrs. Claudia Bird thanked the Planning Commission for their consideration of her request. PUBLIC •RING, ZONING CASE NO. 309, JIRD, LOT 169A-MS 2021 Chairman Roberts opened a meeting of a public hearing on an appli- cation by Mr. and Mrs. James Bird for conditional use permits for con- struction of a tennis court and pool house on Lot 169A-MS located on Johns Canyon Road. The Clerk reported that.the hearing was duly noticed as required by law, and that no comment, written or verbal, was received in favor of or in opposition to the request. Mr. Douglas McHattie represented the applicant at the hearing and explained that the proposed tennis court and pool house are part of the development of a 12.21 acre parcel. The Planning Advisor said the proposed structures will be approximately 100 feet from the side pro- perty line, and the plan shows balanced grading of 20 feet of cut and 20 feet of fill. Members of the Commission agreed that a field trip should be made to the site, and Chairman Roberts asked that the property be staked to define elevation, four corners and fence height of the tennis court and the four corners and eave height of the pool house. The Chairman said a field trip would be scheduled later in the meeting and he ordered the matter held on the agenda. . 1 CONDITIONS OF 'ROVAL - TENNIS COURTS While a complete list of conditions cannot be recommended until a public hearing has been held and all testimony taken, the following list of conditions pertaining to tennis courts is provided: 1.

At present we do not have a street address and the odd numbers on our side of the street have all been taken. In order for us to obtain building permits we must have a street address so time is of the essence in this matter. There appears to be two possible solutions to this problem. 1. Renumber all of the Johns Canyon residences below our home. 2. We would install and maintain a access lane which we would as- sume full responsibility for. If you are willing to grant this access lane we would like to respectfully request that the name of this lane be "Storm Hill Lane." We greatly appreciate the time you have granted us in this matter.
