Commissioner Allen referenced the visual of the five lots and inquired whether Dale Way and the creek setbacks were included in the acreage. She then inquired about the square footage of Dale Way. Ms. Soo confirmed that both were included in the acreage calculation and that Dale Way was approximately 5,000 square feet. Commissioner Pace responded that Lot 1 was approximately 34,500 square feet and Dale Way was approximately one-seventh of the total space. Commissioner Allen referenced the comment made by the applicant that the project was allowed up to six lots and she inquired about the designation. Ms. Clark explained that the LDR designation technically allowed six lots but the General Plan required consideration of the NSSP, which was more restrictive. Commissioner Allen referenced her previous request from the July 11, 2018 Workshop to see visuals of the proposed site. Applicant Alaina Stewart held up a visual to demonstrate the size and dimensions of the lots. Ms. Clark explained the limitation within the design guidelines for the home to be no more than 7,500 square feet. Ms. Stewart further clarified efforts to retain the rural feel including setbacks and reduced second floor square footage.

Commissioner Pace asked about the size of the home at 950 Sycamore Road. Planning and Permit Center Manager Melinda Denis responded that according to the Zillow website, the referenced house size was 4,929 square feet. Commissioner Pace stated he was trying to understand the previous conversation with the applicant in 2018 and the alignment with the three upper lots being consistent with the character of the existing neighborhood. He asked if the question was whether the lower portion should be one or two lots. Vice Chair Brown mentioned the original NSSP and discussed Parcels 1, 2, and 3, approved in PUD-97-21 and modifications made throughout the process. He stated his opinion was that Parcel 3 was being subdivided to be in alignment with the other lots on Sycamore Creek Way. He discussed the July 11, 2018 Workshop and his agreement that the lots were in line with the size and that Parcels 1 and 2 should remain agricultural. He stated he was convinced by Ms. Stewart that five lots met the original intent of the NSSP.
