Louie Leu (Iqbal residence)
1358 S. Stelling Road (Lot 2)
Residential Design Review for a new two-story 3,980 square foot residence.
Design Review Committee decision final unless appealed.
Staff Presentation: Colin Jung, Senior Planner, briefly described the project. Regarding
privacy protection on the north side of the property, there are four windows on the
second story. The three furthest windows to the left need to be raised about I-inch on
the sill height for privacy protection. The architect has been notified. The fourth
window is not a concern. The sizes of the trees in relation to what is being proposed is a
little out of proportion to what is required. The architect is aware that this will need to
be changed at the building permit stage.
Discussion continued regarding privacy trees, curbs and gutters.
Louie Leu, architect, stated that the windows on the right hand side of the house will be
above five feet and one of the windows on the left side has been eliminated.
Ann Orom, neighbor north of the property, was concerned about on-street parking.

Preston Oka, neighbor, was concerned about his mother who lives at 1382 S. Stelling
Road. Mr. Oka wanted to confirm that the large pine tree in the front would be
removed. Mr. Jung stated that that tree will be removed. Mr. Oka also asked if the
eucalyptus near the curb area could be trimmed back. Due to budget considerations,
the City cannot trim the tree. Mr. Oka expressed interest in sharing the expense of the
trimming. Another question was if the soil grade was going to remain the same.
Mr. Jung stated that he would have to get back to Ms. Orom regarding the on-street
parking. He also stated that the story poles are accurate and the lot will not be elevated,
soil wise.
Discussion continued regarding the eucalyptus trees and right-of-way.
