The Planning Commission, at their regular meetings of June

3. A variance is no longer required, since the plans have
been redesigned to keep the retaining wall out of the side yard
setback. A proposed barn has also been located outside of the
required 35 foot side setback.
4. A previous concern of the Commission was the proximity of
the proposed home, with its located garage area at the rear to the
residence, to the abutting parcel. Revised plans show a 60 setback
rather than 50 feet. Staff review of records show that the
neighbor's home has a 40 foot setback to its closest point from the
mutual property line and has an angular lay out on the site(setback
varies).
5. The requested project has been reviewed in accordance with
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(C.E.Q.A.), and determined to be categorically exempt.

TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: STAFF
SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 402; Request for Extension of approval for Site
Plan Review of a new residence; 4 Buggy Whip Road, Lot 244-MS;
Owner: MacKay
DISCUSSION
The City is receipt of a letter, dated July 30, 1990, from Mr. and Mrs.
Dana MacKay, property owner of the vacant site located at 4 Buggy Whip
Drive. The applicant is requesting an extension of approval for the Site
Plan Review approved by the Commission on September 19, 1990. The
applicant indicates that unforseen circumstances has delayed the project.
Section 17.34.080 (B) of the Municipal Code requires that "extensions
shall not be granted for more than a total of one, year unless a public
hearing is held and approval granted in the same manner and based upon the
same criteria as for the issuance of a new permit".
In reviewing the applicant's request, staff would have no objection to
accept the extension request. The additional time would allow the
applicant to prepare plans for checking by appropriate agencies.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff would recommend that the Planning Commission determine that the
findings are present to approve an extension of one year to an expiration
date of September 19, 1991.
