church its related uses and retain the existing preschool /private school facility as <br />a stand -alone use with a modified operation and site plan, subject to the <br />Conditions of Approval in Exhibit A -2. <br />Commissioner Ritter seconded the motion. <br />Commissioner O'Connor added the two issues for clarification to come to an <br />agreement, including the parking agreement that staff has already started work on. <br />Chair Allen stated that the second is the enhanced amenity, and there is a third one on <br />density and the reduced number of units. <br />Chair O'Connor stated the Commission is looking for an amenity that ties these two <br />neighborhoods together better, which may require the removal of up to two units. <br />Chair Allen clarified that they could be related but are not necessarily so. <br />Chair O'Connor inquired if the Commission would say it wanted the density reduced if it <br />is not necessary for the amenities or just reduce the number of units. <br />Chair Allen stated that the project is too dense. He asked Mr. Beaudin to recap the <br />three items again in language that works for everyone. <br />Mr. Beaudin stated that there is the amenity, and he wanted to make sure he is really <br />clear here because what he heard was to tie the two sites together and an additional <br />amenity. He indicated that based on the site plan and the way it is configured today, he <br />is not sure the applicants will be able to tie these two together, but staff will make every <br />effort in working with the developer to find a way to do that, but it may just have to be an <br />additional amenity. <br />Commissioner O'Connor clarified that the amenity is to be interior to the project <br />Mr. Beaudin continued that along those lines staff would be looking at the potential of <br />removing one to two units to accommodate that improved amenity; the unit reduction <br />could also just help the overall site plan and development in general, should that be <br />appropriate. He indicated that the final issue is the parking agreement that would help <br />address the parking needs related to some surrounding uses, including the senior <br />housing project and additional parking for the residential development. <br />Chair Allen and Commissioner Ritter accepted the amendments to the motion <br />regarding the enhanced amenity, the unit reduction, and the parking agreement, <br />as previously discussed by the Commission. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 12, 2015 Page 30 of 34 <br />
