Chair Ritter: Were getting to that one. <br />Commissioner O'Connor: I agree, I'm okay with the density, but I'd like to talk more <br />about the parking and setbacks. <br />Commissioner Allen: Setbacks are included in the density. <br />Commissioner O'Connor: If that's part of the density question, we should talk a little bit. <br />Amos: It could also be a part of C, for the conceptual. <br />Chair Ritter: Nancy, are you okay with the proposed density other than the parking and <br />setback? <br />Commissioner Allen: Other than the setback discussion and the parking. <br />Chair Ritter: Ok, let's go to C. <br />C. Does the Planning Commission support PUD zoning for the 536 St. John Street <br />site and the conceptual site plans for the two sites? <br />Commissioner O'Connor: We do need to go to setbacks. I think the building height is <br />going to be fine at two stories. I'm sure we're not going up to 40 feet and we'll hopefully <br />be around 30 feet tall. I notice the requirements say 20 -foot setback but we have a lot of <br />places where they are not at 20 feet. I'm more concerned with the rear for people who <br />live behind this project. So instead of a 30 -foot rear setback we're somewhere between <br />10 -24 feet. <br />Beaudin: The rear setback is somewhere between 20 -24 feet. <br />Commissioner O'Connor: 20 -24 feet is for Plan 2. This other one says 10 -14 feet. <br />Amos: There's a bonus option on the back for them to do a small addition. I believe it's <br />called a California room. <br />Lee: It's a covered porch in a backyard. It's a very popular feature we're adding to new <br />homes these days. It is a single -story covered structure. Instead of a homeowner <br />putting a pergola or trellis in the back, we would include it as part of the design feature <br />of the house. <br />Commissioner O'Connor: Is it equivalent to a pergola? <br />Lee: Yes, the square footage is like a patio area that has a roof on it but no walls. <br />Commissioner Nagler: What's the roof height relative to the roof height of the home? <br />Lee: It would be a one -story between 12 and 15 feet. <br />EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 23, 2016 Page 10 of 18 <br />
