That is going to drastically affect our quality of life as well as property value. An updated design was submitted by the applicant to address some of the privacy issues we had raised. It seems in this design the width of the siding also encroaches a bit more into the setbacks on the side of the house. None of the other homes in our neighborhood have had large siding walls or overhangs like that put up and we are worried it would look out of place. During the design review hearing process it became very clear that no matter what we said or how it affected us, this was going to get approved. During the hearing we suggested an II at its closest point,a larger setback than the standards would require. The proposed addition would be built directly above the existing garage and would maintain the existing building setback. P19-0130 Planning Commission 11 of 15
