Dear Chairman Roberts and Members of the Commission:
This letter is regarding Lot 2 Tract 6 Z , commonly
known as #4 Eucalyptus Lane, formerly owned by Robert Lamb.
This request is for a front yard and buildingset back deter-
mination.
Because of the 50 ft. set back ordinance and the 40 ft. road
easement reserved by the parcel map, the end result is a.90 ft.
building line set back. This coupled with a 25 ft. bridle path
easement on the north side and a 120 ft. ravine on the east side,
you can easily see that the remaining useable ground is reduced
to less than 4,000 sq. ft. without import of fill.
My contention is that because the road easement on Lot 2 serves
only one lot and with the limited size of the lot and the condi-
tions of the terrain as indicated above, it is a hardship to
require 90 feet of set back.
In order to build a home in which the design would be compatible
with the community, I feel that a 50 ft. set back from the west
property line fronting Eucalyptus Lane would be in line with the
area and still maintain that unique quality that the gated com—
munity offers. This 40 ft. reduction would result in an addi-
tional 4,000 sq.. ft. of. useable pad and with minimum grading,'a
nice 3,500 sq. ft. home with a 3-car garage could be placed on
the lot with a back yard of 4,000 ft. for a pool.
Members of the Commission, time is of the essence. The owners
have given me until July 1st, or the property may go into a Trust
Deed saleas did the house formerlyoccupied by Mr. Lamb.
Your cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
hn L. Pollock
