Item 6: Public Hearing (a) Matter of 200$-00003; Revised and re-noticed after tabling the matter from the March 6, 2008 Board of Zoning Adjustments meeting; Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit; to construct a 1,342 square foot additional dwelling unit at the rear of the existing single-family home at 78 Williams Street (previously proposed addition was 1,525 square feet). The addition would create a duplex. The proposed roof height of the addition would be an average of 19 feet, six inches (previous design averaged approximately 22 feet tall). The proposed duplex would include two covered parking spaces and two surface parking spaces. Site Plan Review is required, as this proposal creates a new second-story dwelling unit. The Conditional Use Permit is required as the lot is 40 feet wide where 50 feet is the minimum lot width in the DA-3 Downtown Area District and as two-family residences are also conditionally permitted in the DA District. Assessor's Parcel Number 77-549-11; D. and S. Christian (applicants and property owners); DA-3 Downtown Area 3 District. (Tabled at the March 6, 2008 meeting and re-noticed for the April 17, 2008 Board of Zoning Adjustments meeting.) [Penaranda] Secretary Penaranda noted that at the last meeting, the neighbors on either side of the applicants' property, the Woolstons to the west and the Cordero-Johnsons to the east, had objected to this project and the Board had suggested revisions be made to the plan. He displayed a vicinity map, site plan and photos that showed the proposed project and the surrounding neighborhood. The existing home had an area of 806 square feet with two bedrooms and one bath. The proposed addition had been reduced 180 feet. The ground floor had been reduced 17 feet by 21 feet and the upper floor had a reduction of 60 square feet. The roof was redesigned to a shallower pitch from a 4:12 to 3:12, which was a three inch drop for every 12 inches. There
