214, Construct a stable in front ya, CorrespondenceAugust 21, 1978
To: Carol Hanscom, Chairman
Planning Commission
From: Richard Anderson
Re: Determination of Setbacks at
52 Saddleback Road
The Planning Commissi n et in a meeting adjourned
to the field on Saturday, a a,' 1978, at the subject
property and after discus ion upheld the determination of
the Planning Commission as to the location of the required
setbacks.
The Commission found the provisions of the zoning
ordinance specified frontage on a roadway or easement as
the principal criteria for determing the location of a
required front yard.
The Commission noted however that the subject property
was bounded by a number of lots and could be expected to
have a similar impact on all of them. To resolve this
problem it was proposed that a 25-foot deep setback envelope
be held along all property lines. (To protect all of the
neighbors) the existing stable which has had Cityapproval
could be permitted as a part of the same zone variance.

From: Joseph Lademan
Subject: Proposed Conditional Use Permit
Gentlemen:
I am aware of the first submittal as far as the residence
is concerned. Certainly we, can change in order to affect
contours of the land and resultant shape of the residence.
What is more important, however, is an approval of site area
be granted. Once this is established, I can proceed with the
plans of the residence for submission to the Art Jury. I trust
the committee can understand that it is fruitless to design
a residence until I know the perimeters where a residence may
be located.
The following salient comments are basically the reasons
why the site has been tentatively located as shown.
1. Stable is already constructed on the lot in the
position as noted. I am desirous of leaving the stable
as is. It appears the stable is well built, in
accordance with your requirements as to a pleasing design.
2. In order to gain access to the lot, an easement has been
granted passing through two lots. These specific lots
have their designated horse area adjacent to the roadway.
In other terms, we must pass through two adjacent horse
areas to gain access to our lot. We feel that it is more reason-
able to have the horse area and stable on Lot 9-2-RH be adjacent
to the other designated horse areas.
3. The specific location for the residence was predicated
on two primary factors.
a. To be located as far as possible from the existing
stable yet conform to your setback requirements,
i.e. side yard definition.
b. Upon consultation with Mr. Bruce Lockwood, Geologist,
abnormal expense can be avoided if the residential
seamPnt of the house can be located outside the
puriineters of the unsuitable soil conditions, thus
eliminating earth removal and recompaction.
In conclusion, I request that the commission consider the un-
usual configuration of the lot and surrounding area as it relates to
access, nearest main road, soil conditions and other designated
horse areas.
Respectfully Sukmitted,
J ,seph"Laaenan
