Project Description
The applicant requests Design Review approval to construct a pergola, a fireplace wall, and a pool on a developed lot in Kentfield. The proposed development would not result in an increase in the existing floor area ratio of 41 percent on the 10,000 square foot lot. Height and setback information is summarized below:
The proposed pergola would reach a maximum height of 19 feet, 2 inches above surrounding grade and would have the following setbacks: 10 feet, 3 inches from the southern front property line; 20 feet from the western side property line; 89 feet, 1 inch from the eastern side property line; and 72 feet, 8 inches from the northern rear property line.
The proposed fireplace wall would reach a maximum height of 19 feet, 1 inch above surrounding grade and would have the following setbacks: 13 feet from the southern front property line; 9 feet from the western side property line; over 100 feet from the eastern side property line; and 67 feet from the northern rear property line.
The proposed pool would reach a maximum height of 2 feet, 6 inches above surrounding grade and would have the following setbacks: 36 feet from the southern front property line; 8 feet from the western side property line; over 100 feet from the eastern side property line; and 34 feet from the northern rear property line.
Various site improvements would also be entailed in the proposed development, including a retaining wall and new paving.
