B. 20-0649 PLANNING APPLICATION NO. PA-200353; ADDRESS: 42 EMPTY SADDLE ROAD, ROLLING HILLS ESTATES; APPLICANT: MR. MATT SCHNEIDER, ARCHITECT; A request for a Neighborhood Compatibility Determination (NC-200354) for one and two-story additions to be constructed along the front, side and rear yards of a single-story residence with a detached garage. A Minor Deviation (MD-200355) is required to decrease the front yard area by less than 10% and for the encroachment of the proposed addition into the required front yard which does not project closer to the property line than the forwardmost building line. A Variance (V-200356) is also requested to exceed the lot coverage by more than 10%.
We are dismayed to have been excluded until this week-we could have suggested more cost effective, less intrusive and disruptive solutions. The rear left perspective has a deck and windows that look directly into our kitchen, family room and master bedroom and in fact greatly impact our privacy and views. This is a real financial disaster for us with its impact on our home's desirability and value.
I am shocked the Planning Commission does not recognize our main objection for the proposed addition to 42 ESR is a violation of privacy and view. If this addition is approved, they will have unobstructed views into our master bedroom and we will have to live with our blinds closed at all times. In addition to that, our current green view and blue sky view will be replaced by a massive second story building. I feel this is extremely unfair and obtrusive to us and our neighborhood.
