Vice Chair Brown discussed his previous recommendation for four lots, but his decision had evolved. He requested Lot 1 be increased in size. He felt that Dale Way was an amenity and aligned with the proposed trail but suggested an increased amenity based on the extra lots. He stated he did not think the front setback needed to be increased but he could support increased setback from Dale Way which would further restrict massing. He discussed the need to protect the neighborhood since the lot would be sold. Commissioner Allen referenced the house across the street on the west side of Sycamore Road with olive trees successfully screening the home.
