PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued
ZONING CASE NO. 660
CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION TO
DENY A REQUEST FOR A SITE PLAN REVIEW TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF
A SWIMMING POOL/SPA, ON A PROPERTY THAT REQUIRES PLANNING
COMMISSION REVIEW, DUE TO EXISTING STRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT
APPROVED IN MARCH 2001, AT A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE, AT 10
PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD, (LOT 52-RH. (HWUNG).
City Manager Nealis presented the staff report describing the applicants' appeal of a Planning
Commission denial for a 508 sq. ft. pool and spa. The City Manager reviewed the history of
this case indicating that this property has a restriction on future development requiring
Planning Commission review and that this restriction was imposed by the Commission during
the previous approval of the residential structure on the lot. Mayor Hill opened the continued
public hearing.
Discussion ensued regarding the case. Councilmember Lay questioned why the pool was not
planned in the beginning. Stan Lamport, representing the applicants, indicated that the
applicant had not originally wanted a pool and due to fire suppression benefits and the
minimal impact on the property, the applicant has elected to request a pool at this time. Mrs.
Huang further emphasized that they originally did not want a pool, however, desires to have
a pool at this time.
Architect Criss Gunderson indicated that he felt that when the Planning Commission viewed
this property in the field, that the Commission did not have a full impact of the flatness and
the size of the lot due to the debris and construction staging areas that were present.
Staff provided an explanation regarding the impact of the Community Association easements
relative to the setbacks for this property and the impact on net lot area. Applicants'
representative Stan Lamport indicated that he felt the impact of the proposed pool and spa is
minimal.
Hearing no further discussion, Mayor Hill continued the public hearing to the next regular
meeting of the City Council to be held on Monday, July 28, 2003, at 7:30 p.m. in the City
Council Chambers, 2 Portuguese Bend Road, Rolling Hills, California.
