Ms. Goldade replied that could be but that they are willing to say that it be 1,200 square <br />feet. <br />Commissioner Narum commented that she believed the staff report stated that the <br />garage would be 800 square feet, and anything over that would be counted against the <br />12,500 square feet allotted for the primary resident. <br />Mr. Otto replied that the guidelines, as proposed, would exclude up to 800 square feet <br />of garage; however, the applicant is proposing to use something different than what was <br />in the guidelines. He noted that this is also the first time staff is hearing about it. <br />Commissioner Narum noted that stated differently, her understanding from the staff <br />report is that the house would be up to 12,500 square feet, and in addition, they could <br />have an 800 - square -foot garage; if they desired a bigger garage, the additional square <br />footage in excess of the 800 square feet would count against the 12,500 square feet <br />house. She asked staff if that was correct. <br />Mr. Otto said yes. <br />Chair Pentin asked Ms. Goldade if they are asking that that not be the case. <br />Ms. Goldade said yes. <br />Commissioner Pearce stated that she wanted to make sure she understood the <br />comment about the second units and asked Ms. Goldade if they are requesting that <br />second units be allowed up to 1,200 square feet. <br />Ms. Goldade said yes. She added that it would be in addition to the 12,500- square -foot <br />house. <br />Commissioner Pearce asked Ms. Goldade if that was instead of what staff has <br />mentioned, which is up to 20 percent of the primary home's floor area. <br />Ms. Goldade said yes. <br />Commissioner Pearce inquired how tall a barn is and if they would be like silos. <br />Ms. Goldade replied that they want to have the flexibility for the agricultural uses of the <br />site as they do not know who is going to buy the properties and what they are planning <br />to develop. She noted that it will not be a free - for -all; it will fall under the jurisdiction of <br />the City and would have to comply with the City's Design Review process, so there will <br />be City staff input into what that can be. <br />Commissioner O'Connor asked Ms. Goldade what she was referring to when she said <br />1,200- square -foot accessory structure <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 28, 2012 Page 8 of 33 <br />
