Commissioner Nagler stated that he would support four unless a space could be built on the street, and then it would become three. Chair Allen stated that the majority is for three spaces. Buildina Heiaht Commissioner Ritter stated that he is fine with the building height Commissioner Nagler stated that he thinks the building height is perfectly acceptable because, first, just in context, he thinks everyone has indirectly said that this project is exactly the kind of thing the City wants to encourage off of Main Street but continuous to Main Street Downtown because a mixed -use project like this that is well designed and well- crafted fits with the architecture of the Downtown, blends the use of property, brings that kind of stability, good times, bad times, over time to the Downtown core. With respect to the height, he indicated that what matters to him is not only that this is an independent decision, but that there are other relevant decisions that this Commission and prior Commissions and this Council have made for the street and the neighborhood. He stated that most specifically, he is fine okay with the height because of what is behind it; and the fact is, one will not be able to see any difference at all on the height when they back up against one another, so he finds the massing and the height to be completely appropriate to the block. Commissioner O'Connor agreed and added that the current zoning also says they can go up to 40 feet and can put an office building in there as well. Commissioner Nagler stated that he is just trying to respond as a finding, relative to the neighbor saying that the buildings are too tall. He added that they are under the current zoning. Commissioner O'Connor noted that if the buildings were not there, the house behind it would be visible, which is only one foot shorter. Commissioner Ritter agreed. Chair Allen stated that she struggled with this because even though this is not technically a precedent, other projects coming through this town will be using this and saying that the building height of this specific PUD on this specific site was approved. She noted that the reason she is fine with this is for the same reasons the other Commissioners brought up; the building behind it will be almost the same height. She added that the work that staff and the applicant did on the design just makes it feel a lot smaller and makes it feel not as overpowering, such as the Angela row homes across from Bank of America, which are a little bit taller, just tower over that little historic home, and do not fit the character of the Downtown. She indicated that she did not want the same thing to happen to this site because of the Chamber of Commerce building next door and the house behind it. She noted that if she supports this project, it would be because this is absolutely not a precedent, and in order for her to feel good about a property, it has to totally line up with the next door adjacent neighbors and has to PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, November 18, 2015 Page 23 of 34
