11, and 12, which require 10 -foot side yard and 20 -foot rear yard setbacks for all Class I and Class II accessory structures. Commissioner Narum requested confirmation of her understanding that the distance between the Besso house to the property line is 20 feet and an additional five feet to the edge of the pool. She inquired what the distance was from the bottom edge of the pool to the Spencer house. Ms. Amos replied that it was 29.9 feet. Commissioner Narum then inquired what the distance would be from Spencer house to the pool if it were shifted downward and staying outside of the 20 -foot setback. Ms. Amos replied that it was approximately 15 feet. In response to Chair Blank's inquiry if it was the Bessos who requested that the spa be moved, Ms. Amos said yes. She added that the spa was part of the pool, and the request was to flip the design of the pool such that the location of the spa would mirror the Bessos' spa on the other side of the fence to provide more privacy. Ms. Amos indicated that staff does not have a preference with respect to the location of the spa. Chair Blank observed that it would appear there would be less privacy if people use the spas at the same time. Commissioner Fox disclosed that she had met with the applicant. Commissioner Pearce disclosed that she had met with the applicant and with Mrs. Besso. Commissioner Olson disclosed that he had met with the applicant. Commissioner Narum disclosed that she had met with the applicant and with Mr. and Mrs. Besso. Commissioner O'Connor disclosed that he had met with Mrs. Spencer and with Mrs. Besso. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Steven Spencer, applicant, apologized that he was bringing before the Commission another sad tale about two neighbors who cannot agree. He pointed out that he has tried to follow all the rules and regulations. He stated that he was on the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Board of his homeowners association and that he had to abstain when it came to the consideration of his pool. He noted that the ACC took everything into consideration and that one of the Board members asked if he talked to his neighbors about the pool and if there were any objections raised. Mr. Spencer noted that he had talked to his neighbors and that no one had presented any objections. He stated that at that point, the ACC approved the pool, after which he submitted his application for a PUD modification. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 9, 2008 Page 21 of 33
