r- Commissioner Sullivan was glad that the project was acceptable to the neighbors, and that the Groves and Roberts were able to compromise. However, he did not like the plan to transform open space to a PUD-LD residential lot. He believed that ran counter to the City's rationale for the creation of open space. He agreed with Commissioner Roberts's assessment of Mr. Swift's action, but believed that the location of the building envelope was an environmental problem from a location and tree removal standpoint. Commissioner Roberts did not agree that the house's location on the ridge violated the Open Space area. She would like to see the house design and the grading plan. Commissioner Sullivan noted that he adamantly supported the Commission's review of the house design. Commissioner Arkin noted that he supported the proposal, and understood his fellow Commissioners' points of view. He was glad that the applicants came to an understanding, and that the neighbors supported the project. He believed this was a unique situation, and added that they were following the process. Chairperson Maas expressed concern about how far the process could be pushed. Commissioner Arkin noted that from the City's perspective, the middle lots were not being changed. He added that was a significant item. Commissioner Roberts agreed with that assessment. r Chairperson Maas noted that she would not be able to support the application, and believed that it had been previously resolved. She noted that a great deal of time had been invested in this project, and they had arrived at a win-win situation. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Maas, Assistant City Attorney Lynn Tracy Nerland advised that the motion would fail with a 2-2 vote, and that the applicants would be able to appeal to the City Council. Commissioner Roberts moved to approve PSP-3 and PUD-82-10-10M as recommended by staff, with the following modifications: . adding a condition that the Planning Commission would perform a Design Review of the architectural design, grading, and fmal plans for the house; . a recommendation that the house be moved as far to the west as possible, and that it be lowered by five feet; . the building envelope should not be treated like a building pad, according to Grey Eagle CC&Rs. Any accessory structures should be minimal, and she did not want to see any swimming pools. A gazebo would be fine, as long as it was not lit. Commissioner Arkin seconded the motion. /'"""' PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES September II, 2002 Page 19
