Vice Chair Brown inquired about the approximate square footage of the visual demonstrated during the presentation. Ms. Stewart responded that the visual demonstrated 4,231 square feet. Commissioner Allen stated the proposed project felt too encompassing and clarified that she was proposing a smaller pad. Ms. Stewart explained the drainage issue and inability to shift the pad and explained it might be necessary to eliminate the ADU. Vice Chair Brown discussed potential changes in ADU law. Ms. Harryman stated, as of January 1, 2020, the ADU did not have to be within the building envelope. Commissioner Pace expressed concern regarding changes in law allowing an ADU five feet from the street. Ms. Stewart clarified that the drainage would not allow construction outside of the pad. Commissioner Allen asked if the pad was the only location for construction. Ms. Clark clarified that drainage and topography established the building envelope, among other factors, and that the building envelope defined the area in which construction was allowed. Vice Chair Brown discussed opinions on amenities and concerns regarding massing. Ms. Clark suggested the Commission take a straw vote on four or five lot options to provide direction to staff and the applicant. ACTION: There was a straw vote regarding whether the Commission was in favor of a four- or five-lot project. Commissioner Pace indicated he was in favor of five lots with a condition to reduce massing on Lot 1. He requested information on character and what had been done to retain a similar feel on Dale Way. He stated he was amenable to 70-foot setbacks but would prefer increased setback from Dale Way. In response to Vice Chair Brown, Commissioner Pace stated his support for five lots was not conditioned around an amenity but would prefer the proposed amenity come back to the Commission. Ms. Clark explained it was a City Council decision, but the Commission could provide input. Commissioner Allen indicated support for five lots, with increased setback from Dale Way and setback from Sycamore Road to be greater than 70 feet, a smaller building pad and a visual representing the massing of the house and which gives an actual depiction of what can be Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, January 22, 2020 Page 6 of 7 help maintain trails.
