Commissioner O'Connor stated that he has one last comment. He indicated that he is a <br />bit disappointed that there are no carports on the one side. He stated that he <br />understands the reasoning behind it and asked if this is all a done deal. <br />Mr. Dolan replied that it is a question staff did not ask the Commission. He indicated <br />that the applicant would like to put the carports in, but the neighboring properties' <br />interests oppose them. He added that it would be an additional exception from the <br />Design Guidelines. He noted that the parking requirement can be met either way; it is <br />just whether or not the people who live here get the benefit of a carport. <br />Commissioner O'Connor inquired, assuming there are no carports on that side, how <br />many parking spaces on the complex would be uncovered. He further inquired if there <br />would be more than just those on the west side. <br />Ms. Soo displayed the site plan and pointed out the carports located on the west and <br />south sides of the project site, the surface parking by Building C, and the parallel <br />parking on the south side of Building A and B and along the entry street. <br />Commissioner O'Connor noted that there were not too many and estimated that there <br />are maybe 30 in the complex. <br />Ms. Soo replied that was about right. <br />Commissioner O'Connor noted that it is a significant number. He inquired if all the <br />surface parking shown on the slide is all guest parking. <br />Ms. Stern replied that not all of them are for guests. <br />Commissioner O'Connor inquired if they are all assigned parking and noted that there <br />have to be some guest parking there. <br />Ms. Stern replied that one space is usually assigned per unit and the rest would be sort <br />of free for all. <br />Commissioner O'Connor asked Mr. Dolan if he was looking for any additional input from <br />the Commissioners. <br />Mr. Dolan replied that it would be helpful if the Commission had an opinion about the <br />carports. He added that staff got kind of a mixed message on the story pole discussion. <br />Commissioner O'Connor stated that he would rather not spend the money on the story <br />poles. He indicated that to begin with, a two -story and three -story complex has to be <br />built. He added that he just wanted to see if there was anything else that could be done <br />about the roof massing. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 22, 2014 Page 16 of 22 <br />
