City of San Leandro Civic Center, 835 E. 14th Street San Leandro, California 94577 April 14, 2011 James McGrath 2301 Russell Street Berkeley, CA 94705 Subject: PLN2011-00013 — Minor Site Plan Review of Two -Story Residential Addition at 908 Dowling Boulevard, San Leandro Dear Mr. McGrath: This letter is to notify you that your application proposing to add a new first and second story addition to the rear of the existing home, consisting of 692 square feet to the existing 1,074 square -foot single -story residence is deemed approved as of April 14, 2011. The proposed addition meets the Zoning Code requirements in terms of height, lot coverage, floor to area ratio and also complies with the day light plane requirement, which defines the building envelope within which all new structures or additions must be contained to limit the impacts of bulk and mass on adjacent properties for each side of the building. The roof's average height is approximately 20 feet, three inches and 21 feet, six inches at the roof ridge, well below the 30 -foot height limit for the RS district. The Community Development Department notified your neighbors of your project and requested comments. In his determination, the Zoning Enforcement Official (ZEO) took into account concerns expressed by the adjacent neighbor at 900 Dowling Boulevard. The ZEO's Minor Site Plan Review approval is granted with the following conditions of approval: 1. So as to prevent viewing into the adjacent neighbor's side and rear yard, final plans submitted for Building Permits shall be revised to show the two new windows on the west (left) elevation of the second story to either 1) be re-designed/positioned upward, or 2) if kept the same size and location, shown with the addition of opaque screening added to the bottom portion of each window. An appeal period of 15 days follows the decision, during which time the story poles will remain in place. Any appeal of the decision must be received by the Community Stephen H.
