8303 La Jolla Shores Drive appeal

Attorney for the Kavanaughs sought a continuance, then presented expert findings on drainage deficiencies and questioned the applicant's rights to use the private Calle Frescota roadway.

Represented the applicant, accepted staff's new conditions, and asked that the hearing proceed and the appeal be denied.

Adjacent property owner described homes built within feet of her house, lost views and privacy, and said the applicant had not acted in good faith.

La Jolla planning trustee argued the six near-identical large homes conflict with the La Jolla Shores design ordinance's unity-and-variety principle.

Raised technical concerns about unsequenced grading across six lots and stormwater discharge exceeding street capacity.

Questioned whether the architect has legal authority to act for the undisclosed owners of the six lots.

Appellant said the applicant bullied rather than engaged, plans kept changing, and asked for a continuance to review new conditions.

Project architect described six custom homes designed by owner-occupant families and asked the council to deny the appeal.

One of the six future homeowners; said the families are friends, not developers, and asked the council to let them build their homes.

Applicant's attorney argued the 1949 deed clearly grants utility rights and said the drainage comments came too late to justify delay.
