Appeal: Homeowner of 3837 Los Santos Drive, Cameron Park North Unit #1 CC&Rs Following a telephone call complaint the homeowner was sent an Initial violation notice on February 11, 2014 for constructing a building on his property without prior approval. Clause #3 of the Cameron Park North Unit #1 CC&Rs reads, in part, as follows: No building or other structure shall be erected or the erection thereof begun on said premises, until the plans and specifications thereof have been first approved in writing by the established architectural committee, an a copy of such plans and specifications filed with said committee. On March 14, 2014 the homeowner submitted the required application for review by the Architectural Review Committee and paid the fine for the Initial violation. The application was reviewed and denied by the ARC on March 25, 2014 and the homeowner was notified by letter on the same date. The application was denied because the location of the shed which was constructed was in violation of Clause 4(d) which requires a side setback of a minimum of 10 feet and El Dorado County Zoning Ordinance (d) which requires a rear setback of a minimum of 15 feet. The completed shed is located 5 feet from the side property line and 11 feet from the rear property line. The homeowner was also notified in the denial letter that the shed would have to be removed or relocated from its current location. Consistent with earlier discussions, the homeowner decided to proceed with having a survey conducted to determine if the existing property lines related to his parcel were correctly defined. Subsequently, further enforcement action has been held in abeyance until the survey was completed. The survey has now been completed and the homeowner is exercising his right of appeal related to the Architectural Review Committee s denial of his original application. Recommended Action: Deny the Appeal B. Appeal: Homeowner of 3801 Los Santos Drive, Cameron Park North Unit #1 CC&Rs At the May 6, 2014 regular scheduled CC&R Committee Meeting the homeowner appealed the Architectural Review Committee s denial of his application for having a shed constructed in his rear yard. The application was denied because the location of the shed was in violation of the required setback regulations. Cameron Park North Unit #1 CC&Rs require a side setback of 10 feet and the shed has a side setback of only 6 feet. After a lengthy discussion Member Dalton made a motion that the CC&R Enforcement Officer should gather additional information related to (1) easements data, (2) feasibility of trimming the existing oak tree to allow space for moving the shed, (3) surveyor s office boundary data and that the

2 appeal would be subject to further review at the regular scheduled June CC&R Committee Meeting. The motion was seconded by Member Stanton. The motion was approved by a vote of 5-0. Recommended Action: Deny the Appeal 6.
