 Good morning, when a you want to sound check? Good morning. Can you hear me? Yeah, sounds good. Great. Thank you. And we have some other attendees. If there's any member of an applicant team that would like to sound check, you can raise your hand and zoom. And we can get your sound check. Good morning, Andy. Let me know if you'd like a sound check. Kimberly, I'm going to mute myself and join you in a moment. I'm finishing up a call. Sure. Thank you. Okay. Kimberly, I'm going to turn on my video to do a video test. Okay, here we are. So we have a little more than 10 minutes before we start. I will announce the withdrawal of the use permit for the, for the side yard fence. And I think that's it. We had a couple, we lost one of our attendees, maybe they had a connection issue. One of the applicants? I don't know. Okay. Well, I'll make the announcement regarding the name of the address. It's on the first. Yes. Let's see. Item 3.2. Okay, right. Should be on the screen. All right. Okay. Everything looks in order. I'm going to mute myself. We've got the team's channel going. If any site conversation needs to happen. Okay. Thanks. Just want to let our attendees know that we have a call in option. You can about 888-475-4499 and enter our webinar ID, which is listed on the screen here, 926-7080-7909. We have just a couple of minutes more before we're going to get started. And if any of our attendees are a member of an applicant team and you'd like to do a sound check, you can raise your hand within Zoom. Mr. Perry, you should have a prompt. And if you answer the prompt, you should be able to speak. Test one, two, three. Sounds great. Thank you. If you want to go ahead and control your meeting settings, then we won't have to go through that back and forth. So if you want to mute yourself whenever you aren't speaking, that'd be great. Thank you. Good morning. This is Andy Gustafson. I am the zoning administrator. I'd like to call to order the December 17th meeting of the zoning administrator. I'd like to welcome all of you here today. We have three items on the agenda. One item was withdrawn. That is item 3.2. It concerned a fence permit for. A fence located at 5120 Parkhurst. And I'll, I'll remind everybody again, but I wanted to let you know that at the onset, if you're attending this meeting, that matter has been withdrawn by the applicant. Before I go further, I want to. Let you know that this meeting is a virtual meeting as a result of the provisions of the governor's except executive orders, which dispense certain requirements of the Brown act. And also the order of the health officer of Sonoma County to shelter in place to help to spread the, to help to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Today, those of you who are attending by zoom and can see this video. Well, I want to advise you that when it comes time during the public meeting where I invite public comment, you can do so by raising your hand using the zoom icon. Button or symbol. Those of you who are calling in by telephone, you can also comment, but you must press star nine. A star nine will allow us to recognize you and you'll be able to, to get. Be able to comment. So before we. Oh, and I also want to say that this meeting is live streamed. At. W, W, W, YouTube. That will be a recording if you wish to return to the, to review certain sections of this meeting. So with that preliminary introduction now, I'd like to begin with our agenda. When the first item on, on the agenda is a. A public comment. If you wish to comment on a portion which allows any of those of you who wish to comment on a matter, not on the agenda. You may do so now. And again, please don't comment on something that we'll be discussing later on. I'm going to look here to see if we have anyone. Who. Wishes to do so. And I see none. So let's move on to our regular scheduled agenda. And then we'll go through these next two items. Each of the items will be presented by the project planner. And then the project applicant will have opportunity to comment. And after that, I will recognize any member of the public who wishes to comment. And again, remember to raise your hand. Or press star nine and you'll be recognized and allowed to speak in turn. So with that. I would like to introduce the. The project planner. The project planner. It's a minor landmark alteration permit for 920 McDonald drive. And Adam Ross is the project planner. Adam, can you give us your presentation, please? Yes. Thank you, Mr. zoning administrator. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen. With the PowerPoint slide and just to. For after the, the presentation, we have Mark Perry. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen. So obviously the applicant for this project are. Here to answer any questions after that. Thank you. Can you confirm that you see the. The presentation on the screen. It comes in clear. Great. Thank you. So the project before you is low is a minor landmark alteration permit. File number LMA 20 dash zero zero nine at 920 McDonald. The project itself. It's a. It's a. It's a repair of the main dwelling in its front porch. So it's, it's. There's some things that have, that have happened over time that have taken it away from, from what it was. And they're just basically bringing it back to that. Same. That same aesthetic. Using. As close to materials as possible. They're demolishing. There's an existing two-story structure. In the back. As you can see in this gray area. And they're demolishing that and replacing it with a new two-story accessory structure. With a carport and an ADU. So the carports in the front right here. It's kind of shown. You can see it right here. There's the, it's more of like a storage space for the, for the. For the property owner. And the ADU is a staircase above on the second story of this new. The zoning is PD. 0, 0, 0, 5 dash H within the McDonald preservation historic district. As you can see the highlighted. Parcel here. There's the, the. Structure to be demolished. In the back. The general plan land use designation as low as entity residential. Essentially all setbacks in. And. General plan. The projects complies with all setbacks and, and the general plan land use designation. The scope of work. Here, as you can see here, there's the new siding to match. This little kind of. Get it. They're, they're enclosing it to look more like. This area on the right side. So you see this kind of mesh. Type of material. They're matching it to the, to the right side. Same, same here under the stairs and just making the stairs. Up to code and safer for the occupants themselves at the site. Then here's the existing structure. Mark Perry. Is the. Historical. The architectural historian who provided the. Historic resource report. For this project. For the context of this project. In that report, he claimed. He concluded that the. Accessories unit in the back is, is unremarkable. And it doesn't really hold any historic value. And therefore is not. Subject to any sort of. And therefore, you know, this, this project complies with the department of interior standards for historic structures. Since this is not one. Here's just some more elevations. Of the existing structure. It's. Abutting the alley in the back. And here's the elevations. There was only really one. Bit of. Redo for, for these plans. As you can see there. It's a, it's not colored, but it's a, it's a pretty nice structure overall. And it kind of matches the existing. Home and, you know, isn't it's in line with the design of. The entire building. Or, or I'll let Mark Perry get into that more, but it's in line with the, the accessory structures throughout the neighborhood. The car ports right here. The doors. The doors provide enough space for the, you know, for the. The covered parking to be unobstructed per code. The living roof is facing internally towards the existing home. And this is an entrance to kind of the storage space that's proposed. Some side elevations. Again, just for context a little more. It is noted that ADUs are not subject to. Any sort of ministerial. I'm sorry, are not subject to any discretionary actions. And that this is more for the accessory structure on the first floor. And how it coincides with the existing home and preservation district. With that, the planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor landmark alteration permit for the property located at 920 McDonald Avenue in Santa Rosa. And I'm available for any questions you may have. Thank you, Adam. Again, this is a. Minor landmark alteration for the replacement of. The existing accessory structure as well as a repair work on the front yard and none. No discretionary review. Regarding the edu. Or the. Location size of the accessory structure is required here. So. All right. So now I invite the applicant or the applicant's representative to comment. Add to presentation. If they so wish. These raise your hand and you'll be recognized. Go ahead, Mr. Perry. Well, thank you very much, Andy and Adam for your. Presentation and your presence here today. Thank you. I'm going to do a quick tour if you can call up that front. Elevation of the house briefly. If you can still share that screen. Yeah, I'll do it right now. And then we're also going to go on to the front elevation of the edu. I just want to summarize the approach. And the intent of the design. Although ad use are do not fall. They are very conscious of. And have long standing roots in the preservation. I guess community of Santa Rosa and they really wanted to do the right thing all the way through this. If we look at that front elevation, we are basically restoring and repairing the existing. Front entry in that those stairs are actually. Rebuilt. Rebuilt. So to speak, they're falling apart. They need to be rebuilt. And they need to be consistent rises and runs, or they're just not safe. Other than that, we're just cleaning up the front elevation, making the finishes. Restoring finishes that may have been removed and replaced with other materials. At some point due to rot. Or other situations. And that's what we're going to do. We're going to do that. And then we're going to do that. When after this work is done, it's going to look just the way you see it now. Only better. So to speak that, yeah, there'll be changes on the, on the screening and the deck will change. And the risers are going to be consistent. But you won't see changes in the handrail. So if we go on to now, the edu. Yeah, that other one back up. The front. This is clearly unremarkable. It's probably built in the twenties or thirties thereabouts. And it was built by reclaimed materials. Many reclaimed materials that happened a lot in the early 20th century and late 19th century. The use of formal materials are just not, not as available. They didn't have as much of the engineer materials, which make them more stable. You can see that it is degraded in many ways. But it does not have any real historic continuity. Neither does it have care, you know, strong character defining elements you might find in what we, guess we could call a carriage house or a barn building. If we can move on to the next slide, the next elevation set of the new building. The legislature mandated, so to speak, that, and you can correct me, Adam, if I'm wrong here, I don't want to say that. We don't. We don't want to say that we don't use. They're kind of streamlined, but our, our applicants wanted to maintain. As much as possible design integrity. And I would say, even though it isn't necessarily required. In many respects, this does meet the secretary of the interior of standards of care for the treatment of a rehabilitation. Or perhaps even a reconstruction. the character, although the materials are somewhat different, those materials are historically appropriate. The secretaries requires that the new buildings or contemporary additions or or rehabilitations be actually distinctive. So, this is not and the kind of contemporary railing and canopy over the double doors to the left of that dormer window makes it not a what they try to avoid and that is, you know, a fall facade ism or a false historicism. It's kind of a pretty simple thing it works well it works in the neighborhood nicely. I think it would be contribution rather than a detriment to the McDonald district and this is probably golly I don't know maybe the 15th project I've been involved in. This not as a console, not designer simply consultation but that consultation helps steer. And I believe our project designer was sympathetic and responsive and cared that this come out as nicely as it did and I'm, I'm glad to encourage it to be approved. Thank you for your time thank you Adam so much for your ongoing involvement and excellent help in this and thank you Andy for your time today, and thank our applicants for the opportunity to add something to the McDonald district that will help it out. Thank you very much appreciate your comments and I have no questions I think as you described it's a pretty straightforward approach and clear project description so appreciate your comments. I offer the opportunity for any interested party and neighbor or another member of the public who wishes to comment. If you wish to do so on this matter, please raise your hand, and will be recognized thank you. Seeing none, I will close the public meeting portion of this item and commence on the action. So, what I normally do at the onset of the meeting is I explained that any matter that is acted on today may be appealed by any agreed party. And so, today being the seventh. Should anybody wish to appeal the determination of the zoning administrator today on this item or any other item on the agenda I'm going to look at the calendar. You would have until December. The end of the day business day December 28 that's a Monday to file an appeal and if you wish to do so contact a project planner and they'll walk you through that process. All right. So, I reviewed the, the resolution and the findings prepared for this project, the, the applicant, excuse me the project planner recommended approval, and in consideration of the evidence presented here at the meeting and also by the planner and the project file. I think that recommendation can be supported, and I approve the project. If you want to comment here it's always really welcoming to see property owners make investments such as this to particularly manage and keep up with our historic resources in our communities in our residential areas. I applaud them for that. And further for going to the next step and providing a ADU or accessory dwelling units to provide more opportunities for people to find housing in the city so I'm very pleased to be able to approve this project. And thank you very much for bringing this forward. So that concludes item number 3.1. So item 3.2 as I mentioned at the onset of this meeting has been withdrawn, the owner withdrew their application, there will be no further discussion on this matter. So if you should be in attendance on this matter. I know that this, there will be no discussion so with that, I will move on to item 3.3, which is a conditional use permit for 125 Glenwood court, and one AC colleague is a project planner and money can you give your project presentation. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Gustafson and good morning. I'm going to share my screen in a few seconds. Okay, can you confirm that you can see my screen. Great. Thanks. So the project before this morning is a minor conditional use permit for a home occupation located at 125 Glenwood court. So this is a minor conditional use permit to provide private policy sessions from the main residence hours of operation will be 9am to 1pm Tuesday through Saturday, maximum of 15 clients in a week so basically three clients per day. The parking will be provided on site at the time. This is the location of the site, which is a single family residence zone R16 and the general plan land uses medium density residential. The site contains one single family with a covered parking. Here is the floor plan for these residents and bedroom number two show in a blue square will be used for Pilates sessions. So a notice of this project was sent to neighbors within 600 feet and I did not receive any comments or concerns or questions regarding to the proposed project. This project also has been reviewed in compliance with California Environmental Quality Act and it qualifies for an exemption under section 15301. It is an existing facility. The Pilates classes will be inside of the existing house with no expansion of the house. And with that, the planning and economic development department recommends that the zoning administrator by resolution approve a minor conditional use permit for the property located at 125 Glenwood court. Below is my email and my phone number for anyone who wants to contact me directly and that concludes my presentation. Thank you. Okay, finally, but in there. Thank you many. I have no questions I think your presentation and the accompanying resolution was clear so now I offer the opportunity for the applicant or their agent to comment if you so wish please raise your hand and you'll be recognized. I don't think I'll just give a moment more for the sole attendee in attendance to raise their hand seeing that they do not wish to do so I will now offer opportunity for the public who might be in attendance to raise your hand and comment. Okay, seeing none. I will close the public meeting portion of this item and take action on the requested recommended resolution for approval. Again, as I mentioned earlier, the resolution was very clear of making the findings supporting the issuance of this home occupation use permit very supportable. This is exactly kind of use an activity that was envisioned that is supported in our residential areas as a as a home occupation. So with that I will prove the requested permit and wish the applicant good luck. And that concludes item 3.3 and that concludes the zoning administrator meeting of December 17 and then signing off I wish to offer happy holidays for everyone and forward to 2021.
