Commissioner Blank asked Ms. Harryman if the law considers single-family homes for traffic purposes regardless of number of residents in the home. Ms. Harryman replied that a traffic impact analysis is done when considering large subdivisions but not for a single-family residence. She added that the case at hand is a Design Review, and traffic analysis is not part of that. Commissioner Blank inquired if, hypothetically speaking, he were to invite his extended family to live with him, and there were 20 people living in his home, if would be all right to park cars on the street provided they were moved every 72 hours. Ms. Harryman said yes. She noted that everybody probably has neighbors who have a lot of cars, and because they cannot all fit in their garage, they park them in front of their neighbors homes. She indicated that the City does not and cannot regulate the number of cars or members in a family. Commissioner Olson inquired if the Commission wished to address the two conditions the applicant raised to be issues, namely, the sound level requirement and changing the storage door recommending the use of a physical screen. He indicated that he is neutral with this, one way or the other and just did not want to drop the request. Commissioner Pentin noted that the Commission just made a motion to approve the project without any changes, thereby requiring the 50 dBA noise level and the door to be moved. He indicated that he was fine with that. Chair Narum inquired what the noise ordinance allows at the property line. Steve Otto, Senior Planner, replied that it is 60 dBA at the property line. He clarified that there is no condition in Exhibit A that requires the noise level to be 50 dBA at the property line. Commissioner Pentin stated that he thought the Commission had a discussion at the last meeting about the generator and its noise level, as well as the containment of the generator, was to be at 50 dBA. Chair Narum recalled that there was a suggestion that the generator be moved off of the property line but would still have to meet the 60 dBA at the property line. Commissioner Olson noted that 60 dBA was not an issue for the applicants, but 50 dBA was. Commissioner Blank requested confirmation that if the proposal is approved as is, the requirement is for 60 dBA at the property line and not 50 dBA. Mr. Otto confirmed that was correct.
