Vice Chair Brown discussed his previous recommendation for four lots, but his decision had evolved. He requested Lot 1 be increased in size. He felt that Dale Way was an amenity and aligned with the proposed trail but suggested an increased amenity based on the extra lots. He stated he did not think the front setback needed to be increased but he could support increased setback from Dale Way which would further restrict massing. He discussed the need to protect the neighborhood since the lot would be sold. Commissioner Allen referenced the house across the street on the west side of Sycamore Road with olive trees successfully screening the home. She suggested similar screening along Dale Way and the front area to mitigate the visual impact. Ms. Clark mentioned the detention basin and possible restrictions in what could be planted. She then confirmed that the Commission had provided ample direction to staff and the applicant and the matter would come back for formal action at a future meeting.

Ms. Clark explained it was a City Council decision, but the Commission could provide input. Commissioner Allen indicated support for five lots, with increased setback from Dale Way and setback from Sycamore Road to be greater than 70 feet, a smaller building pad and a visual representing the massing of the house and which gives an actual depiction of what can be constructed on the lot. She proposed an amenity of$100,000 per extra home to be used by for bicycle and trail improvements to connect to the Sycamore area over time.
