Mr. Anthony W. Lobay - Secretary Planning Commission City of Pacific Grove April 23, 1985 Page 2 Setbacks are required to provide light, air and allow some privacy between structures. The proposed plan eliminates margins to achieve these goals. Adjacent property owners would have light and privacy infringed upon unduly by the proposed scheme. The list of required variances to the ordinance speak for themselves in that the structure is too large for the proposed site. The fact that a structure of this magnitude is only proposed to have one (1) off-street parking space is an additional indicator that the proposal is inappropriate. -- There are nine on-street parking spaces in the 300 block of 15th Street. One of these will be lost in providing access to 315 Fifteenth Street site. Typically, 3 to 4 resident autos occupy spaces on Fifteenth. One more buildable site exists on this block. In the vicinity, another large structure at Fourteenth and Laurel, which is about 20% larger than the subject structure, generates 8 to 9 autos, not including one that may be in its garage. Another local structure at Fifteen-th and Laurel, which is about 2200 square feet, generates at least 4 on-street autos regularly. A new residence, on a 60x60 lot at Fourteenth and Laurel, with 2 off-street parking spaces, typically has one (1) vehicle on the street daily. Another single-family residence on the opposite corner of Fourteenth and Laurel typically has 3 on-street autos despite a new 2-car garage. On-street parking in our neighborhood is limited. If these are typical indicators, we could expect about 6 on-street autos generated from the proposed land use. This is not an acceptable impact from an undersized single- family residential site. The City must use its ordinance to assure equitable use of on-street parking spaces for its residents without dedicating the use of a street for the parking of a few residents. In conversations with our neighbors, which were unsolicited by us, we have found that the general feeling in the neighborhood is one of grave concern about the potential impact of the structure on the neighborhood. , OCR Text: Mr. Anthony W.
