For a detailed description of the proposed residence, refer to the Project Plans (Attachment 1), the Notice of Official Action dated September 21, 2010 (Attachment 3), or the project file on record with the City Clerk's office. As part of the submittal process, the applicant was required to provide neighbor notification to all adjacent parcels. !n addition to the neighbor notification, the City posted the subject property with a notification stating the intent to build a new residence. (All notifications can be found in the project file on record with the City Clerk's office.) Upon receipt of the application, the project was assigned to a project planner, � and then evaluated by the City's Plan Review Committee (PRC) on March 23, 2010 for an initial review. The PRC is a multi-departmental committee that convenes weekly to review development proposals with the purpose of providing preliminary input to help applicants identify any potential issues associated with their project as they proceed through the City's entitlement process. A PRC summary letter was provided to the applicant on April 16, 2010. At the request of inembers from the neighborhood, City Planning, Housing, and Economic Development staff attended a neighborhood meeting on April 1, 2010, with the purpose of describing the City's review and decision process. In addition to describing the City's process, City staff also had the opportunity to respond to neighbor inquiries regarding the proposal. Over the weeks and months following the application submittal, the City received multiple inquiries regarding the proposed project. In general, the components of the design that were of greatest interest included the removal of a mature pine tree, the size of a deck on the rear of the proposed residence, the location of the proposed driveway, the contemporary style of architecture, specifically the curved roof form and the standing seam metal roofing material. All email correspondence associated with this project app�ication can be found in the project file on record with the City Clerk's office. In an effort to support constructive dialog around these topics, the City encouraged the applicant and neighbors to work with the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center (PCRC). On June 24, 2010, PCRC, facilitated a meeting between the applicant, concerned neighbors and City staff. Following the meeting, PCRC released notes and agreements that stemmed from the neighborhood meeting, which can be found in the project file on record with the City Clerk's office. The agreements reached in this meeting, along with the previous comments provided by the PRC, led to the applicant revising the project and new plans were submitted on July 27, 2010. The revised submittal included an initial arborist report to evaluate the mature trees on the property. In addition to the revised submittal, the applicant agreed to stake the corners of the proposed deck, to assist neighbors and City staff in visualizing the potential size of the deck.
