Mr. Lashbrook stated he requested the Tentative Map be re-heard in front of the
Zoning Administrator on May 8, 2002 to provide the Bagnalls the opportunity to
submit comments on the project.
The Zoning Administrator approved the Tentative Map requiring, acceptable to the
applicant, measures to improve the turnaround of vehicles at the end of Silver Fir
Circle and a snow storage easement on the subject parcel without significantly
affecting the proposed parcel design.
It is staff's opinion that the Zoning Administrator properly addressed all issues
raised by the appellant, and the Zoning Administrator made all required findings in
support of his approval of the project. The appellant does not raise any new issues
or provide new information that was not considered by the Zoning Administrator.
Staff recommends Council deny the appeal and affirm the Zoning Administrator's
approval of the Tentative Map with conditions. (Project Conditions of Approval on
file in the Community Development Department)
It was Council consensus that staff addressed all issues of the appeal.
It was moved by Councilmember Susman, seconded by Council McCormack
and unanimously carried to adopt Resolution 2002-28 denying the appeal of
Application 02-009/TM and affirming the Zoning Administrator's action to find
the project categorically exempt from CEQA and to approve the Tentative Map
for the project with conditions. Council asked that Staff continue to work with
the residents and contact Placer County for proper signage of the dead end
street.
