Previous Art Jury Minutes

Fonte Property I.D. J.2.11
Workshop Application: Story Poles Bulk Check – Residence/Garage (5,910 sq. ft.), Attached Covered Areas (527 sq. ft.), Grading, Retaining Walls

The Art Jury made the following comments:

  1. Submit a Preliminary Application according to the RSF Association’s “New Submittal” schedule.

Fonte Property I.D. J.2.11
Final Application: Fencing, Landscape, Pond

The Art Jury APPROVED the Final Application subject to staff review and approval of the following:

  1. Relocate the proposed fence substantially away from the property line along the road. The fence is proposed on the property line which does not allow enough area for landscape screening of the fence. The Art Jury typically requires fencing a minimum of 20 feet from front property lines along the roadway.
  2. Submit a complete landscape plan for screening of the fence and the areas around the proposed pond.
  3. Submit further design details for the pond construction.
  4. The Art Jury noted the plans indicate some existing fencing is located outside the applicant’s property line. Please adjust the fencing to a location within the applicant’s property.
  5. Fencing located on property lines shall be allowed only with a letter of agreement from the adjoining property owner. If a letter of agreement is not provided, separate the fence a minimum of 5 feet from the property line for side and rear yard with landscaping to provide screening.

Trend Property I.D. 1.6.2
Investments, LLC  Workshop Application: Residence/Garage (9,985 sq. ft.), Attached Covered Areas (610 sq. ft.), Guesthouse (720 sq. ft.), Detached Garage/Maid’s Quarters (1,145 sq. ft.), Grading, Retaining Walls, Fencing, Entry Gate/Pilasters, Landscape, Pool/Spa, Tennis Court

The Art Jury made the following comments:

  1. The Art Jury thanked the applicant for revising the project.
  2. Please construct story poles for an Art Jury bulk check (the Art Jury wishes to check the bulk of the building with story poles before a Preliminary Application is submitted).

Submit the following according to the RSF Association’s “Re-submittal” schedule:

    1. A site/floor plan that includes the location of the story poles in relation to the proposed building, as well as the height of each pole. All plans shall be at least 1/8”-1’ scale.
    2. The floor levels shall be depicted between the poles with blue tape/ribbons.
    3. A statement (certification) signed and stamped by a California Registered Surveyor or Civil Engineer stating that the proposed grade datum, location, height of the poles and the marked pad height is accurate.

Please note the Art Jury request to proceed to story poles should not be construed as approval. Members expressed some reservations about the bulk of the building and two story elements.

Woodson Property I.D. 16.6.1
Workshop Application: Residence (10,381 sq. ft.), Attached Covered Areas (1,019 sq. ft.), Basement/Tuck-under (750 sq. ft.), Detached Garage (1,525 sq. ft.), Guest Quarters (627 sq. ft.), Outdoor Kitchen (311 sq. ft.), Grading, Retaining Walls, Fencing, Entry Gate/Pilasters, Pool/Spa

On June 10, 2008, the Art Jury attempted to visit the site to inspect the story poles however the site gate was locked. The Art Jury continued the project to the June 24, 2008 Art Jury meeting pending access to the site.

CONSENT 1 AGENDA ITEMS:

5465 La Property I.D. 33.6.1
Glorieta, LLC Preliminary Application: Residence/Garage (11,730 sq. ft.), Attached Covered Areas (1,441 sq. ft.), Grading, Retaining Walls, Fencing, Entry Gate/Pilasters, Landscape, Pool/Spa

The Art Jury DEFERRED the Preliminary Application with the following comments:

  1. As previously requested, please reduce the mass and bulk of the development. The following comment was contained in the Art Jury letter of November 1, 2007:

    “The mass and bulk of the development must be reduced. The proposed size of the development overpowers the property. The property has a substantial number of limiting factors: two street frontages, slope and odd property shape.”

        Concentrate on reducing the length of the house.

  1. Ensure that all areas of the structures respect the 82-foot setback from the centerline of Linea del Cielo per Paragraph 202 (a) (2) of the Protective Covenant.  A portion of the proposed structure appears to be encroaching on the setback area.
  2. Submit a RSF Fire Department approved landscape plan with all preliminary submittals.
  3. Revise the location of the driveway entrance so that it is not opposite the neighbor’s driveway (on the north side of La Glorieta). With the next submittal, include the location of the neighbor’s driveway on the site plan.
  4. The landscape plan submitted is incomplete and does not meet the requirements for review. Future submittals shall include the following:
    1. A complete plant legend with quantities, sizes and species.
    2. Existing trees and shrubs shall be indicated and identified for removal or incorporation in the new landscape.
    3. Plans shall be professionally prepared. (Please note the plans submitted are not clear and are difficult to review)
    4. Hardscape features shall be indicated with additional information and details.
  5. The Art Jury noted the residence will require substantial landscaping for screening from off-site views.

Ayres & Foster  Property I.D. F.1
Trust Final Application: Commercial Sign
“Villa Sotheby’s International Realty”           

The Art Jury DEFERRED the Final Application with the following comments:

  1. Please revise the sign as follows:
    1. Reduce the 18” dimension to no more than 12”. This will allow the sign to be hung approximately six inches below the level of the eave. With the currently proposed 18” dimension, the sign would need to abut the eave to maintain a minimum seven-foot clearance above the sidewalk as required by Section 46.0604.05 of the Regulatory Code. Having the sign that close to the eave would not be aesthetically pleasing.
    2. Indicate on the plans that the sign will be made of metal consistent with the older signs in the village area.
    3. Incorporate an aesthetic cut-out pattern in the design of the sign consistent with the older, traditional signs.
  2. Submit a scaled drawing for the bracket that will support the sign. Include dimensions, material and color.

Buechler Property I.D. 6.1.5
Preliminary Application: Detached Garage (1,104 sq. ft.) with Nanny’s Quarters (384 sq. ft.) and Workout Room (510 sq. ft.) on 2nd Floor, Remodel Bedroom, Outdoor Fireplace

The Art Jury APPROVED the Preliminary Application as a Final Application subject to the following conditions:

  1. Submit a revised landscape plan for staff review and approval:
    1. Incorporate new landscape trees at the southwest side of the proposed garage for screening from off-site views.
  2. Submit a revised elevation for staff review and approval:
    1. As previously requested, please revise the placement of the corbels on the detached garage structure to have the outermost corbels set 3 inches in from the outside face of the building.
  3. Colors and materials shall match the existing building.
  4. Landscaping is required to screen the project from off-site. If for any reason the final, approved landscape installation does not meet this objective, the Association may require additional plantings, pursuant to Regulatory Code Section 42.0302. Any existing vegetation not shown and approved on the plans as “to be removed” shall be considered “Critical View” landscaping as defined in that regulation. Any trees or landscaping damaged or destroyed during construction or transplanting shall be replaced in-kind with new materials prior to Final Inspection of the landscaping.

Flather Property I.D. 10.4.13
Workshop Application: Residence/Garage (10,128 sq. ft.), Attached Covered Areas (1,389 sq. ft.), Guesthouse (1,131 sq. ft.) with Trellis (290 sq. ft.), Detached Garage (826 sq. ft.), Grading, Retaining Walls, Fencing, Entry Gate/Pilasters, Landscape, Pool/Spa, Propane Tank

The Art Jury made the following comments:

  1. Please construct story poles for an Art Jury bulk check (the Art Jury wishes to check the bulk of the building with story poles before a Preliminary Application is submitted). Submit the following according to the RSF Association’s “Re-submittal” schedule:

    2. d. A site/floor plan that includes the location of the story poles in relation to the proposed building, as well as the height of each pole. All plans shall be at least 1/8”-1’ scale.

    e. The floor levels shall be depicted between the poles with blue tape/ribbons.

    f. A statement (certification) signed and stamped by a California Registered Surveyor or Civil Engineer stating that the proposed grade datum, location, height of the poles and the marked pad height is accurate.

  2. Please eliminate the stone column at the balcony off of the second floor guest room and increase the amount of solid wall. The proposed stone column is too slender to be a convincing structural member holding up the corner of the roof.
  3. Revise the connection between the two-story, main body of the house and the exercise wing with patio below to achieve the following:
    1. The elimination of the oddly shaped, triangular patio piece that creates a weak connection between the two building masses.
    2. Create a stronger “hinge point” for the angular connection.

The following is suggested as a solution to the above:

Relocate the outdoor, patio fireplace (located below the exercise room) to the outside corner of the patio and carry the chimney up the two-story side of the building along the corner where the two wings meet. A well designed chimney would have the following benefits.

    1. Provide a much-needed vertical accent.
    2. Create a “hinge point” for the angle in the building form.
    3. Allow the upper floor balcony to terminate at the chimney rather than creating the small triangular area.
  1. Move the pool and propane support equipment further from the street.
  2. Submit revised elevations with another Workshop Application.

Klaus Property I.D. 11.5.3
Workshop Application: Addition (1,973 sq. ft.), Detached Garage (1,230 sq. ft.)

The Art Jury made the following comments:

  1. Submit a Preliminary Application according to the RSF Association’s “New Submittal” schedule.

Lago Lindo Property I.D. 3.3.2
Development Preliminary Application: Residence/Garage (6,097 sq. ft.), Attached Covered Areas (1,541 sq. ft.), Basement/Tuck-under (2,188 sq. ft.), Guesthouse (1,023 sq. ft.), Detached Garage (903 sq. ft.), Barn (1,400 sq. ft.), Grading, Retaining Walls, Landscape, Pool/Spa, Solar, Request for 1 additional horse to existing 3 horse permit on 4.24 acres

Andrew Wright abstained.

The Art Jury DEFERRED the Preliminary Application with the following comments:

  1. Please create an entirely new concept for that corner of the house where the raised patios transition to the pool area. All of the previous attempts to lower the height of the tallest walls have not resulted in any significant reduction in the elevation of those walls. Section K-K on Sheet A-12 of the plan set shows that some areas of the patio are still over ten feet above natural grade. The maximum amount of fill allowed is ten feet. Since previous attempts have been made to reduce the height of the walls, and the amount of fill is still in excess of the Code maximum it appears that a entirely new concept for that portion of the design is required.
  2. When a new concept is submitted, please include additional sectional views. Not all of the cross sections shown on the site plans were illustrated in section.
  3. The Oak trees proposed at the south side of the residence shall be increased to a minimum 48” box tree for faster screening of the residence.

The Art Jury APPROVED the landscape plan for staff review and approval:

  1. Incorporate additional evergreen screening trees for filtering of residence from off-site views.
  2. The Art Jury noted Photinia fraserii is proposed for several areas. This shrub has not performed consistently well and should be replaced with another similar large shrub.
