HomeMy Public PortalAbout9B TTM 71297City Council October 16, 2012 Page2 to review the proposed development. The Planning Commission voted unanimously in favor of the project and made the recommendation to the City Council to approve Conditional Use Permit 11-1801 and Tentative Tract Map 71297 approving the construction of the proposed condominium development. ANALYSIS: The subject site is located in the R-2 (Light Multiple Residential) Zone and is designated Medium Density Residential by the City's General Plan. The site has a land area of approximately 21,844 square feet and is improved with two single- story residences. The proposal is to demolish the two existing residences for the construction of the proposed five residential condominium units. All dwelling units are two-story, detached structures with attached two-car garages. The total building area is 10,904 square feet and the total living area is 8,630 square feet. Three distinctive floor plans are proposed providing a living area of 1,535 square feet, 1,834. square feet, and 1 ,863 square feet. The Tentative Tract Map, Drainage Concept Plan, and Sewer Area Study prepared for the project have been reviewed and approved by Los Angeles County Public Works. After conducting site plan reviews, staff also concludes that the proposed development complies with all pertinent development standards of the City's Zoning Ordinance. In particular, the approved drainage plan demonstrates that the development will maintain the existing natural drainage pattern to minimize land alteration and grading. Conditions contained in PC Resolution No. 12-2356 (Attachment B) reflect comments received from Los Angeles County Public Works and Los Angeles Fire Prevention. Staff recommends approval of the proposed project. The preliminary review of the environmental impact for the proposed development indicates that the project is categorically exempt under Section 15332 of California Environmental Quality Act. CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution (Attachment A) approving Conditional Use Permit No.11-1801 and Tentative Tract Map No. 71297, based upon findings and subject to the conditions contained in Resolution No. 12-2356 PC.

Me and my neighbor to rear 5066-Ray Peterson Would not mind a higher Block Wall to shield our bedroom windows and His Kitchen Window. Property to north of 5072 when those condos were built the property was graded towards the street and the Block/Fence is about 8 feet tall in relationship to our properties, we would like this also . Higher the Block Wall the Better Matter #2 Weep holes in Block Wall depending on the slope of the property (5072); 5066 lays low and water already pools in his rear yard; concurrent run off from mine and the house in front. We don't want drainage on to his property, water has nowhere to go as it is now. Drainage Matter #3 Fence Line/Block Wall. We would like our fence(s) Block and Wood Fencing, Chain link and Tree(s) that line the Property line to be removed and the new Block Wall build and finished/grouted (clean finish) installed on his side of the property line. Currently the block wall on my property is not reinforced with rebar and will be damaged/ruined and 5066 has a wood fence that has seen better days . As it would be, the Roots will be damaged with the building of the foundation for the new Block Wall and the trees will die anyway, due to the roots being removed and/or cut. Again a higher Block Wall would be preferred to give privacy to both properties. Privacy Matter #4 Rats/Rodents; the rear property is currently a vacant lot. There are a large number of Rats/Rodents. Can they be trapped or killed, when the property is cleaned; they will move into the surrounding lots. Nuisance/Health Matter #5 Trash Cans/Bins for 5072 plans show location 65 feet from rear of property that places them within 5 feet of the kitchen windows of 5066, may perhaps those cans get another location that is not near the bedroom windows or kitchen windows of either 5066 and 5066.5 and 5068 properties.
