Ms. Hagen said the City does not point to direct numbers and instead uses the design guidelines as a standard, along with architectural principles and review by the Planning Commission. Commissioner Ritter referenced the Ponderosa Homes development and Irby Ranch development and inquired whether staff was using anything outside of those standards for this plan. Ms. Hagen responded that staff looked at the Ponderosa Homes development and determined the project has consistent setbacks to this project, but the City does not currently have specific requirements and are seeking direction from the Commission. Commissioner Brown asked and confirmed with Ms. Hagen there is no Homeowners Association (HOA) for this project. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED The applicant's attorney Ellen Berger provided a brief background on the applicant's proposal and the plans submitted. Applicant Saravana Chilla spoke about the proposed plans, his family's search to locate property, its proximity to schools, and his work with City staff on the project. He expressed his desire to ensure neighbors have no opposition and said they would be amenable to conditions. Lisa Self, adjacent neighbor to the east of the project, spoke in opposition of the project, and expressed concerns with the current congestion on Stanley Boulevard. She said the front of the house is facing their single-story property as opposed to facing the street and she voiced concerns with noise, traffic, construction and the lack of trees which would address privacy. Scott Self, adjacent neighbor to the east of the project, spoke in opposition of the project, stating privacy is a big concern to him and his family given all three homes would face their property. They installed a large swimming pool, completed many renovations on their home recently and cited the proposed heights of the homes and the lack of privacy that a second-story would present. The proposed homes are 20 feet from their yard and the height of the homes will obstruct their views of the foothills when they sit inside their living room. He asked that the homes face the street and said the Number 1 home is very massive and intrudes on their privacy when pulling into their driveway. Applicant Saravana Chilla spoke in response to the public comments, stating that he spoke to other neighbors in regard to planting trees to help create a sense of privacy to those in the surrounding area. They are also 30 feet from neighbors and have taken privacy issues into account through their landscaping plan.
