Mr. Briggs expressed concern that the Planning Commission is jumping into approving Lots 1, 2 and 4 without doing a critical analysis of the house designs against the design requirements. Chair Olson stated that the Commission has indicated there must be added adornment. Mr. Briggs inquired if the Commission was approving it without seeing exactly what Ponderosa would do. Commissioner Pentin noted that the Commission has not yet made a decision. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Chair Olson noted the case numbers for the applications are “PAP-140 through PAP-144” and inquired if the numbers run through Lots 1 through 5. Ms. Soo replied that the PAP numbers run opposite the Lot number, such that PAP-144 is Lot 1, and so forth. Chair Olson suggested that the Commission provide staff with direction to require the applicant to enhance the exterior design. Commissioner Pentin inquired whether this would be brought to the Zoning Administrator for approval or back to the Commission. Commissioner Pearce inquired if there would be a mechanism to have the applications return to the Commission should they be approved tonight. Mr. Dolan replied that staff is comfortable with the responsibility of ensuring the implementation of the Commission’s direction; however, if the Commission wishes to go a different direction, it could assign a subcommittee of two Commissioners to work with staff on that issue. Commissioner O’Connor inquired if there was the possibility to re-appeal the applications if they are not acceptable to anyone. Mr. Dolan said no. Commissioner Pearce supported the idea of naming a subcommittee of two Commissioners to work with staff. Mr. Dolan clarified that staff would then be moving forward with the understanding that they would handle it relatively quickly because there is a possibility that it would move on to the City Council. Commissioner Pearce inquired when the appeal period would start. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 10, 2010 Page 15 of 25
