With respect to the construction hours, Mr. Myers stated that he was fine with what was discussed at the last meeting. He indicated, however, that the Greenes need to understand that limiting the hours to 9:30 a.m. -4:30 p.m. may extend the construction on the project. He recalled that the Greenes were concerned about how long it would take to build the homes, and he wanted them to weigh those two issues. Commissioner Narum inquired how shortening the construction hours by 90 minutes a day would impact the time of construction of the house. Mr. Myers replied that he had not really factored that in. He added, however, that it would definitely add to the timeframe because they will have contractors in there longer than they ordinarily would, but he cannot say specifically how many days that might add to the construction cycle without sitting down and doing some calculating. Acting Chair Blank asked Mr. Myers how long he anticipates the construction to take without that shortening of the hours. Mr. Myers replied that it would depend on the market: if the demand for the homes is strong, all four homes could be built in the first six to eight months; but if the demand is slower and they would have to build the houses one at a time, then it could be as long as a year- and -a -half. Anne Green, adjacent neighbor, thanked the Commissioners and staff for coming out to their home to look at the story poles and for their input into this meeting tonight. She expressed her appreciation for the efforts being made to mitigate their issues with privacy concerns in terms of the closeness of the development and the fact that the house on Lot 3 could be moved five feet over, the house on Lot 2 about 10 feet closer to Sycamore Road, and the house on Lot 1 closer to make room for the Lot 2 house. She indicated that she believes they could make do with the changes and that they would still be able to see the Pleasanton Ridge. Commissioner Narum asked Ms. Greene her opinion about reducing the size of the window or changing its location or having frosted glass as opposed to installing landscaping there. Ms. Greene replied that she thinks landscaping makes sense for the new homeowners and that they would probably prefer that. Commissioner Narum asked Ms. Greene if her preference would be to have landscaping put in as part of the construction. Ms. Greene said yes. Commissioner Narum asked Ms. Greene if she understands that lessening the hours of construction would make a significant impact in the time construction would take in terms of lengthening it.
