Project Description
The applicant requests Design Review approval to construct a new pergola, a new fireplace wall, and a new pool on a developed lot in Kentfield. The proposed development would not increase the existing floor area ratio of 37 percent on the 10,000 square foot lot. Height and setback information may be found below:
It appears the proposed pergola would reach a maximum height of 22 feet 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; 72 feet, 8 inches from the northern rear property line.
It appears the proposed fireplace wall would reach a maximum height of 19 feet, 6 inches above surrounding grade and the exterior walls 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; 67 feet from the northern rear property line.
It appears the proposed pool would reach a maximum height of 2 feet, 6 inches above surrounding grade and the exterior walls 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; 34 feet from the northern rear property line.
Various site improvements would also be entailed in the proposed development, including a new 4-foot high retaining wall and new paving.
Design Review approval is required pursuant to Marin County Code Section 22.20.090.C.1.b because the project entails constructing detached accessory structures that would be located within a required minimum setback.
