In response to Commissioner Pentin's inquiry if this number includes both resident and <br />visitor parking, Mr. Pavan replied that it did. <br />Commissioner Pentin stated that page 14 of the staff report states that cobblestones are <br />proposed beneath the existing trees. He noted that the landscaping in the designs <br />provided still shows cobblestones and inquired if the cobblestones would be removed. <br />Mr. Pavan replied that a condition has been included requiring that the cobblestones be <br />removed and replaced with organic mulch. <br />Commissioner Pentin noted that Condition No. 5 uses the term "Encourage" rather than <br />the usual verbiage such as "may" or "shall" that is generally used in conditions. He <br />inquired how this condition would be enforced. <br />Mr. Pavan explained that this condition was provided by the City Engineer. He added <br />while connecting to a privately-owned storm drain system is the preference, it is not <br />required and that it would be acceptable for the applicant prefer to connect to the <br />72-inch storm line if desired. <br />Commissioner Narum inquired why the applicant chose to add 36 units and not anything <br />more or less than 36 and if inclusionary housing was considered at arriving at this <br />number. <br />Mr. Pavan replied that that the Council direction was to add more units, and the <br />applicant worked with staff and arrived at this number. He added that the Code <br />required 15 inclusionary housing units, and anything over that number would be <br />additional density. <br />Commissioner O’Connor stated that he reviewed the conditions of approval and <br />inquired, for the benefit of Commissioner Blank, whether the units would be sprinklered. <br />Chair Olson replied that he believed the requirement for sprinklers was spelled out in <br />Conditions No. 7 and 9. <br />Mr. Pavan confirmed Chair Olson's observation. <br />Commissioner O'Connor inquired if one of the proposed buildings would be the only <br />three-story building in the complex. <br />Mr. Pavan said yes. He added that the rest of the complex are two-story buildings. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. <br />Andy Byde, Braddock & Logan Services, Inc., Applicant, noted they came before the <br />Commission a year ago with a 12-unit project and the remodel of the existing <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 10, 2010 Page 18 of 25 <br /> <br />
