� File#14-3664 February 3,2015 Page 2 of the pre-existing detached garage, and included revisions to the walls abutting the garage space. The applicants are now proposing to replace the pre-existing walls (since removed) along Crystal Bay Road and replace with boulder wa11s, all of which will be less than 4 feet in height. Further, rather than creating a parking stall perpendicular to the road, they propose to create a parallel stall, approximately 24 feet in width and 7-10' deep, in the location of the existing driveway and slightly west of it. The front walkway and steps will also be slightly reconfigured. These revisions require an amendment of the approved site plan. Please review the 10/14/14 PC memo and 10/20/14 PC minutes for additional detail. Public Works Director Adam Edwards reviewed the proposed layout and found it acceptable. Staff Recommendation Crystal Bay Road is narrow with minimal if any areas wide enough for on-street vehicle parking without causing difficulty for other vehicles. The proposed parking stall appears to be located so as not to intrude into the traveled right-of-way, and will be located no closer to the traveled road than the existing concrete walls. Crystal Bay Road exists via a prescriptive easement, not dedicated on any plat or through any formal easement process. The public by virtue of many decades of use and maintenance has the right to continue use of the traveled roadway. The parking stall will be on private property (but within 10' of the paved roadway), and it will be up to the property owner to manage any unintended public use of the stall. Staff recommends approval of the reconfigured walls/driveway/sidewalk, and installation of boulder walls per the proposed plan, subject to a11 other conditions of the 2014 variance & CUP approval including the limitation to 36.6%hardcover, and that the area streetward of the walls be paved. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Adopt or amend the attached Resolution Amending the Conditions of Resolution No. 6407 - File#14-3664.
