APPROVE MINUTES/TREASURER’S
REPORT:
Approve
minutes of 3/15/08: Nik
moved to approve the minutes. John
seconded and the motion passed 4-0 with Walt abstaining.
Treasurer’s
Report: 4/1/07-3/31/08: John moved to approve the
report as submitted. Nik
seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
The
Committee proposes the following additions to the existing published
procedures:
Phase II ADC approved a structure which the owner has reduced in
area, height and volume without any appreciable changes in its physical
location on the lot.
There
will not be new imposed requirements (poles or variances) associated with
scheduling the hearing for the smaller structure.
Nik moved to approve the
policy. John seconded and the motion
passed unanimously. The policy will be
posted on the web site for no less than 30 days.
Verification
of Foundation Location and Top Plate Elevation.
For
New Home Construction, Property Owners are required to use the services of licensed
surveyors for verification of foundation location and top plate elevation.
For
Major Exterior Projects, the IBADC will use its discretion in requiring
Property Owners to use the services of licensed surveyors for verification of
foundation location and top plate elevation.
In most cases of dwelling expansions, contiguous with the main structure
and of proposed roof ridge elevation below that of the existing structure,
location and elevation verification by the building contractor will be
sufficient. Such verification will be
stated on the appropriate IBADC form.
John moved to approve the policy. Walt seconded and the motion passed
unanimously. The policy will be posted
on the web site for no less than 30 days.
NEW BUSINESS
FRIEDERICHS 1/088 (14941 Navarro Way): Minor Exterior Projects application for a
buried propane tank and garbage enclosure.
No
comments were received. Nik moved to approve the application as submitted. Walt seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
COMMUNICATIONS:
RAPELJE 1/003 (15400 S. Hwy 1): Receipt of pre-construction extension fee for
NHC permit 0605-1003.
A revised Phase II application was also submitted. The current Provisional Permit is valid until
7/1/08
and may be extended either by payment of the $150 fee or by documenting and
submitting an extension request due to third party delays. Mr. Rapelje has
also requested a June hearing, however, the Committee is not able to reach a
quorum in June and the hearing will take place at the 7/19/08 meeting. In the new Phase II application, the house
remains within the approved building envelope but the size is reduced to just
over 1200ft2 and the height variance lowered from 3’6” to 2’0”. Gordon argued that this should be treated as
a new application, not as a revision of the existing permitted house, and a new
fee should be required. He said that a
new Phase I review is not needed and therefore the fee should be something less
than the application fee of $1500 but more than the extension fee of $150. Nik reasoned that
since the Provisional Permit has not lapsed, the new Phase II application
should be heard as a revision, not as a new application. He argued that the IBADC cannot impose a fee
that is not part of the established published procedures, although a new fee
could be established in the future to address this type of situation. After discussion, the Committee agreed,
without a vote, that neither new story poles nor an additional application fee
are required but that the new Phase II application must be mailed to the
neighbors for review and comment. Gordon
expressed some concerns about the new application, including the look of the
house, parking and the need for a height variance. These will be addressed at the July
hearing.
TILLER 1/014 (15150 Irish Beach Dr.): 4/4/08
Email update on the
status of MEM permit 0707-1014. Construction
work is currently being done with only a Provisional Permit. The Committee will send a letter to Ms.
Tiller explaining that final construction drawings are needed within two weeks
of the date of the letter.
FREIS 1/015 (15120 Irish Beach Dr.): Receipt of a
letter from William Moores stating that unpermitted
enclosures have been constructed. William Moores also
suggested in the letter that the enclosures be moved to the north to preserve
views. The Committee members agreed that
moving the enclosures is unnecessary for view corridor preservation. The Committee is unsure as to whether the
enclosures are new or have simply been repaired. A letter of inquiry will be sent to the Freis.
SEGHESIO 1/017 (15050 Irish Beach Dr.): 5/1/08 Notification of intention to reroof
the house with 40-year Elk Prestique in Weatheredwood color.
WILENS/HOOPER 1/023 (14950 Navarro Way): 5/7/08 Notification of intention to rebuild
the deck. A permit may be required for
the project. The front
entry and walkway have been replaced, which does not need a permit.

Hwy 1): 4/2/08 Receipt of
pre-construction extension fee for permit 0307-1052.

Exterior Modification permit 1005-1063 will begin on 5/2/08.
TAYLOR 1/066 (14871 Navarro Way): 4/12/08
Notification that
they intend to replace the existing propane tank and extend the screening fence
by one foot. This will have no view
impact. They may also have to replace
the existing septic tank. The Taylors reported that the septic
work is almost complete and the propane tank will be replaced later in the
summer. The existing fence will have to
be modified and they will submit a proposal.
JASSOWSKI 1/083 (15001 Navarro Way): 3/18/08 Notification that the deck and siding will be re-stained in the
same color.
SCHAEFFER 2/21 (44641 Pomo Lake Dr.): 4/22/08 Receipt of an email from Robards
(2/22) stating their objection to possible revised plans, described to them by
Schaeffer, which places a stairway to the upper deck on the east side of the house. They are also concerned that the propane tank
is underground, as agreed in the Phase II hearing. At this time, the Schaeffer’s have not submitted
revised plans to the Committee. Any
changes to approved plans must be approved by the Committee.
SCHAEFFER 2/21 (44641 Pomo Lake Dr.): 5/2/08 Receipt of pre-construction extension fee for permit
0307-0221.

McCormick 1/029 (14870 Navarro Way): 3/28/08
The IBADC informed the McCormicks that their
variance application is on hold until they erect story poles connected with
tape and another 30-day comment period is concluded. The IBADC received an email from Taylor (1/066) stating that they
want to see the story poles in order to evaluate the view impact of the
proposed home. A
letter will be sent notifying them that the story poles must be connected with
tape before a new variance letter will be sent.
ALLRED 1/050 (14720 S. Hwy 1): 2/25/08 Receipt of letter requesting a
follow-up determination regarding the proposed shed. (See minutes of 11/17/07). Committee members met with the Allreds at their property on 5/15/08 and the location
of the new shed was established 6ft from the north property line. Gordon voiced his concern about the location
and its effect on the neighbor’s building placement and his objection to the
look of the shed. The shed will be built
on pier blocks and can be moved.
sURVIVOR trust 1/059 (14800 S. Hwy 1): The IBADC wrote a second letter to
Cal Fire on 3/31/08 requesting them to inspect
the abandon property for fire hazards and to take appropriate action. Cal Fire responded on 4/4/08 stating that a Defensible Space inspection was
done and the results sent to the property owner. Follow-up inspections will also be done. Leon
reported that CalFire has sent notice to the owners
stating that the property must be cleaned up within a month or CalFire will do the work and put a lien on the property to
recover the cost.

Irish Beach to comment on how to handle owner/builders who intend
to take much longer to complete exterior construction than presently handled by
the CC&Rs and procedures. (See
minutes of 3/17/07 and 5/19/07.) Leon reported that Tim Murray
(4/10) would be finished with exterior construction in the fall and said he
will submit the delays at that time.
