Mr. Lopez also indicated that the belly band and the hip roofs were rejected by the appellants and this is why they did not show them in the pictures. However, he took a picture of a home down the street with a belly band and hip and gabled roof. Vice -Mayor Cook- Kallio referred to page 8, Figure 5, #7 at 6895 Heath Court that has 1030 square feet in a cul -de -sac and asked if this was similar in terms of shape and design of the lot. Mr. Dolan said it is a similar shaped lot, but staff does not have a graphic of how the property lines up to the rear of it. Councilmember Sullivan did not believe it was a similar situation, as it was a 9400 square foot lot and at 26% FAR versus 40% FAR with a 6,000 square foot lot. Mayor Hosterman opened the public hearing. December Lotz, Bacon Court, said they are the 16 two -story proposal with a similar situation. No neighbors have voiced rejection to their plans and she asked the Council to be upfront with the Lopez's. Johann Keyser spoke of her need to build an addition for her mother and she cannot believe the neighbors have acted this way. Glen Bunting, Echo Court, supported the Lopez family and likened his situation to the Lopez's. Rob Nath spoke of his family's decision to return to town and purchase their old neighbors two - story house on Rosalyn Court, and said neighborhood animosity is unfortunate. James Hvidt, Audrey Court, voiced support of the Lopez's project and testified to their good character. Margaret Bartlett said she has lived next to the Lopez's for 35 years, supported the project, believes whatever shade is received at the Perry's will be welcomed because it is very hot from the sun and there will be no privacy issues. Helen Sullivant, Alma Court, supported the Lopez's addition, is surprised that the issue is still on -going since there are already 15 two -story homes, and encouraged the Council to support approval. Judy Trenge, said she lives next to the two -story home on Crest Court, voiced support of the Lopez's addition and the good neighbors there. Kim Hereld, Homer Way, said both the Lopez's and the Perry's are great neighbors, said it is unfortunate the neighbors are not agreeable, and thinks it is the Lopez's right to have a second story home, as there are already 15 that exist, and if denied, it would negatively affect her property value. Marthel Green, Bacon Court, said the situation is unfortunate and supported the Lopez's ability to build the addition. David Persin, appellant, spoke most strongly for the Perry's who stand to have the most impact, and they have asked pushing back the front of the building where it does not impact the front window as it does right now. He asked for compromise. City Council Minutes Page 7 of 11 February 15, 2011
