Commissioner Wright stated he would not be inclined to allow the height to be measured from the finished floor to the roof ridge. Commissioner Cooper stated he is not in favor of increasing the house size over 4,500 square feet. Commissioner Wright motioned, seconded by Commissioner Cooper, recommending approval of PUD 90-19-6M per Exhibit B with the following modifications: Condition 3: The house height shall be measured with a 30 foot sliding scale with a 40 foot maximum height measured from the lowest point where the house intersects the grade to the highest roof ridge. Condition 4: First tier of homes shall not exceed 4,500 square feet (not including the garage). Condition 5: Approve expanded color palette submitted by the applicant. ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Commissioners Cooper, Lutz, and Wright Commissioner McGuirk and Chair Barker None None Resolution No. PC-97-03 was entered approving PUD 90-19-6M modifications per Exhibit B, as motioned. 7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS Commissioner Dove suggested that the Commission recommend that massage therapy businesses be added to the list of permitted uses, therefore, staff would be able to approve these applications. Commissioner Lutz stated he got a letter from a tenant at 239 Main Street who runs a massage business who objected to the landlord allowing another massage business to come into the same building. Staff advised that it is City policy to notify all tenants, and it is unlikely that the basis for a denial would be because there was already a like service in the building. Commissioner Dove also stated he is opposed to telling an applicant speaker that they have only five minutes to make their presentation. This is usually not enough time. He feels staff should advise the applicant of the time limitation before the meeting. Mr. Iserson noted the agenda advises the speaker has a ten minute time limit. Commissioner Wright feels the time limit should be applied more to the public input speakers, and would like to keep it more flexible for applicant speakers. The speaker for the Moller Ranch application was not redundant and was very informative. Mr. Iserson asked if it was the Commission's direction to have staff amend the Code regarding applications for massage business uses. By approval consensus of the Commission, staff will review and submit their proposal for a Code amendment to the Commission. In response to Commissioner McGuirk, Mr. Iserson stated that there would be no notification or public hearings on these applications if they meet the criteria. If they cannot meet the established criteria, they would have to come before the Planning Commission, at which time public testimony could be heard. Planning Commission Minutes Page 11 January 8, 1997
