Commissioner Nagler: Just to follow -up on your question, I live on Walnut Drive and the City allowed us to do restricted parking by time but to your point, the residents can get one permit per home. So there is a possibility or variation where you could do something that allows the residents access. Chair Ritter: Great feedback, thanks so much for coming. Behers: Certainly, and I know the parking goes beyond Barone's nights. It's during the fair as well. Chair Ritter: And I do know as this process goes they'll be a lot more outreach from the applicant to the neighborhood so this is the start of the process. Behers: Okay, yeah, this is my first time here. Chair Ritter: Thanks for coming. All right, back to us. Do you guys have any questions for staff or should we go through these bullets? So I was thinking, what I could do is go through each bullet, if you guys say your thoughts and if everybody agrees with the thought, put your hand up or say 'I agree' and if you don't, you don't need to. Adam was asking if we could narrow it down to bullets and what our thoughts are on this so we could come up with recommendations. Does that sound okay? So let's just go to the first one: A. Does the Planning Commission support demolishing the existing home at 4372 Pleasanton Avenue and relocating the historic home at 536 St. John Street to the Pleasanton Avenue site? Chair Ritter: Do we want to do a comment? I'll just say I agree. Commissioner Allen: I agree. Commissioner Nagler: I have a quick comment which speaks to the applicant's point. I totally support the idea of moving the historical home, but if that doesn't turn out to be the site, what I would ask is that by the time this project comes back to this Commission for approval, that the site be nailed down so that we can make an actual decision about whether that site's the right place to put the house. Commissioner Allen: I agree. Commissioner O'Connor: I agree. Chair Ritter: I agree. Okay, and discussion point B. B. Is the proposed density for the St. John Street site acceptable? Commissioner Nagler: I personally think that the scale of the building is appropriate to the neighborhood. I think it's terrific that it is two stories. Had it been a three -story proposal it would have been something to think about, so I think the density's fine. But, I do think that this question is a very close cousin to the question about guest parking. EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 23, 2016 Page 9 of 18
