Commissioner Brown stated he was appreciative of the changes made to the design as a result of the Commission's prior comments. Chair Ritter concurred the feedback from January was appropriately incorporated and he appreciated the changes in response to the Commission's previous comments. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Commissioner Pace inquired whether there was any framework used when determining the amenity contribution to ensure all applicants were treated the same. Ms. Clark responded the City did not have a policy related to amenity contributions, but it should be in relation to the overall scope of the project to meet the requirements and intended use. Staff had concluded that the proposed $100,000 contribution met the requirements for both dollar amount and intended use of funds. Commissioner Allen stated she was in full agreement with the plans for Lots 2, 3, 4 and 5, however, she still had some concerns regarding the design and size of the house for Lot 1. She referenced previous discussions during earlier Workshops recommending a smaller size house for Lot 1 than those currently in Bridle Creek, stating she supported the previous design for Lot 1 from the January 22, 2020 Workshop; however, the currently proposed design did not meet such criteria. She encouraged the Commission to be cautious in approving the new design. She then proposed adding clarity to some of the draft Conditions of Approval (COA), specifically to COA 17 regarding the current condition of the roadway along Dale Way and the desire to improve the street pavement at the time of construction for Lot 1; and amending COA 19, to include additional screening of the proposed house with increased landscaping. Chair Ritter inquired whether Commissioner Allen's proposed amendments to the draft COAs were discussed during previous Workshops. Commissioner Allen stated the amendments were not previously discussed by the Commission. She clarified improved screening and adding trees were previously discussed, so she was adding clarity to specify intent to the existing wording of draft COA 19. She explained COA 17 stated the builder would be responsible for maintaining the trail and landscaping, which was the reason she discussed the item with staff. Commissioner Brown referenced the applicant's presentation, indicating their proposed plan would comply with landscaping COAs and the agenda report included screening to be provided by including planting of trees. He inquired if that satisfied Commissioner Allen's prior concern surrounding screening for Lot 1. Commissioner Allen deferred the inquiry to staff, stating she was uncertain of the level of screening required based upon what was depicted in the visual simulation for Lot 1. Ms. Clark stated staff agreed landscaping for Lot 1 could be improved, which would provide increased screening; staff can further specify these requirements in the COAs. Commissioner Brown stated he was in agreeance for additional screening on Lot 1; however, he did not agree with Commissioner Allen's comment to add a requirement to improve or repave the current walkway on Dale Way at this stage of the project, stating the current condition of the pavement was adequate.
