Please note, the formation of the design proposal is based upon an informal review and
subsequent communications with Mr. Gonzalez. It is understood that Mr. Gonzalez is no longer
employed with City. The notes and communications with Mr. Gonzalez are being included for
reference. The major key points established with Mr. Gonzalez in the initial informal meeting of
March 11, 2021 are as follows:
1. Detached upper floor ADU is allowed
2. Due to corner lot condition setbacks to be as follows:
Front yard setback off of Lamme = 15’
Front yard setback off of 5th = 15’
Rear yard (only one required) off of north property boundary = 20’

Side yard setback off of east property boundary = 5’
Street Facing (5th) garage setback = 20’
3. Development of a garage was discussed but due to the 20’ street
setback to garage face off of 5th it was determined it would be impossible for a
garage due to the combination of lot width and setbacks; only 17’ would be left for
garage depth.
4. As a result of item 3 it was determined that the use of a carport with access off of 5th
would be acceptable along with a ground floor auxiliary structure for storage/studio
space.
5. Due to the scope of the project being all new construction with no work being done
to the existing home the only parking requirement to address as part of this project is
that parking required for the ADU.
On March 30th an email with site plan attachment (based on the above) was sent to Mr.
Gonzalez for his input on the direction. He responded with “so far the site plan looks permittable
and meets standards”. Again, these communications are being included for reference.
Thank you for your time in this matter.
Sincerely,
Craig M. Miller
