Carriage House and Blacksmith's Shop December 1, 2008 <br />PLN2007-00062 Page 5 <br />Mr. Bolinger explained that the recommended interior remodel would incur a greater expense to <br />the property owner. The proposed floor plans already exist and to change them would require <br />gutting the inside of the buildings to add the recommended area and taking out the existing <br />laundry room. The concrete slab and all piping inside the slab exist now and the drainage lines <br />are all in place for the sink, washer and dryer. Moving things around would require gutting out <br />the walls. The plumbing would no longer serve any purpose, and the slab would have to be cut to <br />install drain lines – toilet, tub, sinks, washers all would have to be dealt with if the place were to <br />be gutted and redesigned. They preferred not having to remodel the interior of the building, but <br />instead preferred increasing the height of the building. <br />The City's Building and Safety Services Division reviewed the alternative recommending the <br />remodel of the interior space to increase the ground floor living area so that the second floor loft <br />would not be necessary for sleeping purposes, thereby eliminating the need to increase the height <br />of the Blacksmith's structure. The Building Division found that the apartment unit with the <br />interior changes would qualify as a Building Code compliant dwelling unit if the designer and <br />property owner decided to choose the option. <br />Library -Historical Commission <br />On October 16, 2007, the Library -Historical Commission reviewed the proposal and did not <br />object to the plans since there was no significant alteration to the character or appearance of the <br />Carriage House and Blacksmith's Shop. <br />Subsequent to the Library -Historical Commission's review the Fire Department found that the <br />existing second floor window did not meet Code requirements for egress and the interior of the <br />loft needed taller head clearance—it had to be larger. The applicant explored adding a dormer <br />similar to the gardener's cottage, however, the small size of the building could not accommodate <br />an aesthetically correct design that would be balanced, symmetrical, and have appropriate size <br />and scale. <br />On January 15, 2008, the Library -Historical Commission reviewed the proposal to increase the <br />height of the walls and the roof. After its review the Commission found that it could not <br />recommend approval of the proposal. The proposal altered the basic proportion of the building. <br />They indicated a recommendation of approval to increase the height of this building could set <br />precedence where other properties with a historic designation will also want to propose <br />increasing their height or size and altering the proportions of those buildings. The building was <br />not constructed for use as a residence. <br />Summary of Public Outreach Efforts <br />The November 13, 2008 Planning Commission and December 1, 2008 public hearings received <br />normal noticing, which included a legal advertisement in the Daily Review Newspaper, posting <br />of the property on nearby utility poles, notification of property owners within the 300 -foot radius <br />from the subject property, and notification of the Peralta Citizens Homeowners Association. <br />Fiscal Impact <br />Not applicable <br />
