Commissioner Olson agreed. <br />Acting Chair Blank asked Mr. Myer if he is under a specific time constraint to get this <br />done quickly. <br />Mr. Myers said yes and no. He explained that their agreement with the bank is not <br />specifically connected to this project, but they have a timeline for recording the lot -line <br />adjustment which allows them basically to sell off the front part of the lot. He added <br />that, in fact, they were trying to get some sense of the City approval level for the project <br />before they closed escrow on the back half of the property. He indicated that they <br />already own the three lots on the one side. He added that he filed his application for <br />only four houses in August; it took several months before he came to the Commission; <br />and he still has a long way to go. <br />Acting Chair Blank stated that the reason he asked the question is because one of the <br />Commission's options is to continue the matter and ask the applicant to install some <br />story poles; the Commissioners can then go out and look at the property and bring the <br />item back for discussion and a decision. He noted that it would be good to send this <br />forward to the Council with the full support of the Commission rather than have it go to <br />the Council with unresolved issues and have the Council send it back to the <br />Commission for further consideration. <br />Commissioner Olson noticed that Thrivent is a common owner here and inquired if the <br />lot lines on the parcel to be sold are cast in concrete or moveable. <br />Mr. Myers replied that after the lot -line adjustment is recorded, the property lines will be <br />set and will not be moveable. He noted that they are at the very end of the process and <br />it should be recorded any day soon. <br />Commissioner Olson inquired if the house on Lot 3 can be rotated to the left toward the <br />creek to move the front door away from the Greenes' property, then move Lot 4 <br />somewhat toward Sycamore Road. <br />Mr. Myers stated that he does not think Thrivent would support that. He noted that <br />Thrivent is in a contract to sell that home to another party right now, and it is contingent <br />on the approval of the lot -line adjustment. <br />Acting Chair Blank stated that one possibility with Lot 3 would be to rotate the home <br />clockwise. <br />Mr. Myers stated that that was the initial layout but it would have a worse impact on the <br />Greenes' rearyard and the oak tree. He noted that the proposed layout is the superior <br />layout. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, November 28, 2012 Page 32 of 38 <br />
