Commissioner Narum asked Mr. Myers how he feels about changing the construction hours from 8:00 a.m. -5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. -4:30 p.m. Mr. Myers stated that he does not have any problem with reducing the construction hours if that is going to help. He reiterated that he is a believer in being a good neighbor and that he really has done everything he could to try to reach out to the neighbors and make them feel like they are a part of this process. He noted that what he has here is a little bit of suffering from the previous developments that have occurred in this area, especially with the property on the other side. He indicated that this was unfortunate but that he is more than willing to try and be thoughtful with this in a reasonable way. Commissioner Narum asked Mr. Myers if he could quickly walk the Commission through the available off - street parking for each of the houses. Mr. Myers stated that this is something they thought about when we were laying out the site. He noted that because there is no parking allowed along Sycamore Road right now, they created three -car garages and large driveways for a minimum of three -car parking on the driveway aprons, which provides plenty of parking on Lots 3 and 4. He indicated that for Lot 2, because they were trying to keep the house as far away from the Greene property as possible, there is a minimum of the three -car driveway apron spacing, but they included a couple of parking spaces along Lot 1 as well as a space on Lot 4 for extra guest parking. Commissioner Narum stated that she recalled there were parking issues on the other side of the Greene property and asked staff how the parking for the proposed project compares with that. Ms. Stern replied that the parking situations are comparable. She noted that the houses on Sycamore Terrace generally just have their driveways because there is no parking on Sycamore Terrace and added that some of the houses have longer driveways. Commissioner Narum noted that the proposed project seems to have more parking Mr. Stern replied that was correct, due to the fact that several of the proposed homes have longer driveways. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if Saturday construction was allowed for those homes. Commissioner Narum said no; it was Monday through Friday with the possibility of applying for exemptions. O'Connor asked Mr. Myers how long it would take him to construct the story poles, assuming he was amenable to doing it. Mr. Myers replied that he does not know because he has not done it in a long time. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, November 28, 2012 Page 33 of 38
