5 issues in development with low priority
Architectural Review Board Appointment
Andrew W. Miller was appointed to the Architectural Review Board, filling a city board seat.
Demolition and rebuild of two homes on Funston Avenue
An old, structurally failing one-story house straddling two lots will come down and be replaced with two new single-story homes with two-car garages. The applicant said he considered triplexes, which the zoning allows, but found them too massive. A neighbor asked about construction schedules.
220 Willow Street historic renovation
A circa-1893 home on the historic inventory will get its original redwood shiplap siding restored and its crumbling non-historic 1928 garage rebuilt. The committee endorsed it for Planning Commission approval.
1140 Shell Avenue Addition and Privacy Improvements
The addition fixes existing privacy problems — an old door and balcony stare into the neighbor's window — and replaces a dangerous spiral staircase with a code-compliant one. Neighbors wrote letters of support and the board approved it unanimously.
Work plan subcommittee consolidation
Member Rubin proposed merging the metrics subcommittee into a combined metrics and outreach subcommittee, since census data proved limited. The merged subcommittee will be led by Vice-Chair Doneux and Member Rubin.
