A. Does the Planning Commission support demolishing the existing home at <br />4372 Pleasanton Avenue and relocating the historic home at 536 St. John Street <br />to the Pleasanton Avenue site? <br />Chair Ritter: Do we want to do a comment? I'll just say I agree. <br />Commissioner Allen: I agree. <br />Commissioner Nagler: I have a quick comment which speaks to the applicant's point.

Does the Planning Commission support PUD zoning for the 536 St. John Street <br />site and the conceptual site plans for the two sites? <br />Commissioner O'Connor: We do need to go to setbacks. I think the building height is <br />going to be fine at two stories. I'm sure we're not going up to 40 feet and we'll hopefully <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 23, 2016 Page 34 of 46 <br />
