ANALYSIS
Considerations in review of application (CMC § 21.42.040) Y/N
1. Will the traffic generated from the development avoid adverse affects on traffic conditions on abutting
streets? Y
2. Does the layout of the site provide adequate vehicular and pedestrian entrances, exit driveways, and
walkways?
Y
3. Will the arrangement of off-street parking facilities prevent traffic congestion and adequately meet the
demands of the users?
Y
4. Will the location, height, and material of walls, fences, hedges and screen plantings ensure harmony
with adjacent development and/or conceal storage areas, utility installations, or other potentially unsightly
elements of the project?
Y
5. Does the project maximize open space around the structures, for access to and around structures, and
the establishment and maintenance of landscaping for aesthetic and screening purposes?
Y
6. Does the project minimize the unnecessary destruction of existing healthy trees? Y
7. Will the project enhance the overall appearance of the city by improving the appearance of individual
development projects within the city? Y
8. Will the project complement the surrounding neighborhoods and produce an environment of stable and
desirable character?
Y
9. Does the project enhance the city’s character and avoid an adverse aesthetic impact upon existing
adjoining properties, the environment, or the city in general? Y
10. Will the project promote the use of sound design principles that result in creative, imaginative
solutions and establish structures of quality design throughout the city and which avoid monotony and
mediocrity of development?
Y
11. Will the project promote maintenance of the public health, safety, general welfare, and property
throughout the city?
Y
12. Is the project consistent with the city’s general plan and all applicable design guidelines and special
plans? Y
If the answer is “No” to any of the above, list the number and provide a response as to why the proposed project does not
comply as required pursuant to CMC § 21.42.040. If the project can be supported with minor modifications, provide a
recommendation on how the project may be modified to comply with the stated Considerations and Findings.
Number Response
Project Description
The proposed home is shown in a contemporary residential style incorporating gabled rooflines,
flat tile and metal roofing, stucco walls with a stacked stone wainscot, and a well-defined
entryway treated with stacked stone (reference Attachment 3 – Project Plans), along with a
color scheme consisting of a cream body color with a brown accent (reference Attachment 4 –
Color/Material Board). This design approach is consistent with the new residences built within
the Campbell Village Area that achieve compatibility by eschewing "modern" design elements
and materials, and by minimizing out-of-scale features. Based on feedback provided by staff, the
design was revised as shown below:

Public Comments Received Explanation/Response
Emails from two abutting neighbors were received (reference Attachment 5). One requests that
the AC unit be placed behind the house (rather than the side) and the other that the rear fence
include a solid 12” lattice piece. Neither of these requests pertain to the findings necessary for
site and architectural approval. Staff has forwarded these emails to the applicant so that he may
independently contact his neighbors to address their concerns.

Dear Daniel,
My name is Bruce McCombs, and my wife and I own the property at 1114 Shamrock Drive, which is located directly
behind the proposed project.
My wife and I have no objections to the project, although we do have one request: If approved, the new home will be 2
stories high, and with that in mind, we were hoping that the fence at the rear of the applicant’s property could be
slightly improved in one regard: The current fence is approximately 6’ tall, and the top portion of the fence features a
12” tall “see‐through” lattice panel. We were hoping that the lattice panel could be replaced with something that might
provide us with a bit more privacy.
If the applicant is in agreement with our request, I’ll be happy to assist in the replacement. I was thinking that perhaps
the applicant might consider paying for the materials, which I would be happy to pick up, and I would take care of the
installation, as well.
For the applicant’s reference, we’ve recently replaced the fences on both sides of our property, and I built both fences
myself. If the applicant is interested, he’s welcome to examine the quality of my work. I believe that he’ll find that both
fences have been properly constructed, with attention to detail that I believe meets or exceeds that of the typical
fencing contractor.
As for the design that my wife and I had in mind for the upper panel of the fence: It's similar in design to that of the
lower portion of the fence, with a slight variation which I’ll be happy to discuss with the applicant on a day and time that
is most convenient for him.
Please let me know if you and/or the applicant should have any questions, and I’ll be sure to respond as soon as
possible.
Thanks very much for your help with our request, Daniel, and I hope that you’re having a nice weekend.
Sincerely,
Bruce McCombs

Dear Daniel,
Hope you had a great holiday!
Thanks for the opportunity to review the project plan. We have some concerns after reviewing the plan, The
main concern is the location of the condenser unit, in the proposed location the unit is very close to our house.
We would propose a alternate location, it would be best to relocate the unit to the back of the property. This will
minimize any noise made by the air conditioning unit. We are older people and very sensitive to noise... , we
hope you will take this under consideration.
Thanks,
Dana Zhang ( 1101 Erin Way)

Subject: View the project plan for 1113 Erin Way
Dear Daniel,
Hope you had a great weekend!
This is Dana Zhang from 1101 Erin Way, Received letter for courtesy notice. Thank you for the notice.
Unfortunately, our home just besides 1113 Erin Way, we are very concern about the " two-story " project and
want to view the plan and see if their two-story house could block the natural light into our small house or
something else.
Could we make an appointment to view the plan?
Thanks, Daniel
Dana
