15 homes and rear yards that back up to it, but it's not visible from any City streets. And the photo - simulation that you see was taken from the backyard of the lowest home. So for all the other home sites, that upper house could be well above the ridgeline you see in that. Two, all the homes that can see these houses are all two -story, so it's not like it's deviating from the local community. It's a good project. I ask you for your approval and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Commissioner Nagler: Just because really, sort of the one outlier issue in your application is the fact that Lot 1 is two stories, so let me just ask. Did you consider putting a one -story house on the site and for some reason went to two stories? Berlogar: I was looking to minimize the footprint and I honestly didn't think of it as a major obstacle because on the prior project, PUD -84, the Council approved going to 40 feet on the upper lot instead of 30 feet in the guidelines and they gave me a 10 -foot leeway and I thought that was very visible, this is almost invisible. That was my reasoning. Commissioner Nagler: Okay, thank you. Chair Ritter: Any other questions? Okay, thank you. I'll bring it back to the Commission. Any questions? THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Allen: My only question is of the 12 or 15 private homes that can see this, have we received any feedback from any of those neighbors regarding any concerns about the building height? Soo: No, I received one call from a neighbor on Silver Oaks. He basically just asked where the proposed home is going to be located. The homeowner today came in to review the plans and he's asking for the restriction on the corral amenities, but he said he did not have any concern regarding the proposal and we have received no other comments. Commissioner O'Connor: I was I think somewhat along Justin's lines I was surprised that there wasn't a proposed single story given the size of some of the lots. I usually think of two story because a lot is constrained, but no, I didn't have any comments. Commissioner Brown: I'm okay Chair Ritter. Commissioner Nagler: The only question I had is the one I asked which is why a two story when again, a one story home can certainly be accommodated on the lot and I'm satisfied with the applicant's answer. I think the architecture is terrific and I don't have any other questions. Commissioner Balch: Yes, I completely agree with Commissioner Nagler. I think that two stories did catch me but then I looked in the distance and I'm perfectly fine with it. I will say I'm necessarily inclined to entertain the request for the corral restriction.
