Mr. Barbot stated that the windows are required for aesthetic reasons in the
<br />end units; that the tract has "postage stamp" lots and open space lots; that
<br />he feels that the conditions, covenants and restrictions (CC&R's) and the
<br />existence of special district zoning will control what will happen in the
<br />open space area; that he does not believe anyone can build on an adjacent
<br />lot without the permission of Council; that the tract map has been recorded;
<br />that moving the property lines, the solution suggested in the memorandom
<br />to Council dated January 4, 1979, from the Acting Director of Building Safety
<br />and Housing, would cause a delay of several months; that the developer was
<br />not previously aware of the problem; and that he believed the windows would
<br />be permitted in other jurisdictions.
<br />
<br />Following the City Attorney's statement that Council is the appellate body
<br />in the matter, MOTION was made by Yamamoto, seconded by Ward, that the City
<br />Cotmcil, acting as the Building Code Appeals Board in accordance with Section
<br />204 of the Uniform Building Code, 1976 Edition, hereby grants a waiver to
<br />Heritage Development, Inc., to permit said developer to construct window
<br />openings on certain exterior property lines, which lines are protected by
<br />conditions of the CC&R's of Tract 10251.
