DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS 7:00 p.m. Mike Smith November 16, 2010 TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM18626 - HP ENGINEERING FOR JAIME CAMPOS - A proposal to subdivide a parcel of approximately 0.63 acre at the southeast corner of Lemon Avenue and Daylily Court into three (3) parcels in the Low (L) Residential District, located at 9923 Lemon Avenue - APN: 0201-902-16. The project qualifies as a Class 15 exemption under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15315 Minor Land Divisions. Design Parameters: The project site is a parcel of approximately 27,400 square feet (0.63 acre) with dimensions of approximately 210 feet (north to south) by approximately 130 feet (east to west). The applicant's single-family residence is located generally at the center of the project site. At the southeast corner of the site, is a metal shed. There are numerous trees throughout the site. There are single-family residences in all directions around the property. The zoning of the property and all surrounding properties is Low (L) Residential District. The subject property slopes north to south. The elevation at the north side is approximately 1,576 feet. The elevation is approximately 1,573 feet at the south side. The applicant proposes to subdivide the property into three (3) lots for single-family residential development. The applicant's residence will remain in-place on Parcel 2. The metal shed will be removed. The applicant has not determined at this time whether he will construct homes on Parcels 1 and 3 or sell one or both to others. All lots will comply with the development standards applicable to this zoning district as described in the Development Code. Individual lot areas will be 9,635 square feet, 9,105 square feet, and 8,455 square feet for Parcels 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The proposed lot areas will be in excess of the required minimum 7,200 square feet and required minimum average of 8,000 square feet. The depth of each lot will be approximately '130 feet, which will exceed the required . minimum depth of 100 feet. The width of each lot will be 70 feet, 65 feet, and 60 feet for Parcels 1, 2, and 3, respectively. These dimensions will comply with the required minimum average of 65 feet. All of the lots will be conventional in design and will mirror the lots of the subdivision directly across the street (Tract 16431) and to the east (Tract 15726). The most unusual characteristic of the new subdivision will be its relationship with the properties to the south — specifically, the property located at 6339 Daylily Court (Lot 15 of Tract 16431). Because of technical considerations such as drainage, grading, and street design at the time that Tract 16431 was developed (between 2003 and 2005), that property is 6 feet lower than the project site. Also, there is a screen wall of approximately 6 feet at the common property line and a retaining wall approximately 5 feet in height parallel to it. Both the grade difference and the retaining wall will remain unchanged. Access for all three lots will be via Daylily Court. The existing drive approach at Lemon Avenue and the corresponding driveway for the existing house will be removed. The existing garage door on the north side of the garage for the existing house will be relocated to the south side of the garage, and a new driveway and drive approach at Daylily Court will be constructed. Most of the street improvements along both Daylily Court and Lemon Avenue are already in place with the exception of street trees and street lights. The installation of these improvements will be required by the Engineering Department as conditions of approval. Neighborhood Meeting: A neighborhood meeting was conducted on October 19, 2010, at Lions Center West at 9161 Base Line Road. All property owners within 660 feet of the project site were invited. Four individuals attended this meeting. None of them had any specific objections to the project. There were some questions regarding the sequence of construction and the design of the houses. Staff stated to the DRC AGENDA TENTATIE PARCEL MAP SUBTPM18626 — HP ENGINEERING FOR JAIMIE CAMPOS November 16, 2010 Page 2 attendees that the applicant's proposal does not include house product; activity on-site would be limited to rough grading (if any) and there would not be any construction activity associated with this application.

Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project. None.
