. . . Regarding Condition 6, Mr. Nelson inquired if it is necessary to have two addresses posted, it signals there are two residences. They do not wish to look like a duplex. Mrs. Nelson also noted there are three external entrances to the second unit. Mrs. Nelson feels Condition 4 is unnecessary because they could not subdivide the property without coming to the City for the subdivision. Mr. Nelson presented to the Commission his suggestions on the parking layout. Staff does not support parking in the driveway turnaround. A 20 x 9 ft. area is available that does not impact the driveway or turnaround. Commissioner Cooper stated his assumption that there would be addresses posted on Foothill Road as well as on the house. Mr. Nelson described the future layout of the driveway which is dependent on the development of the adjacent property owner (Gerald Thomas). Discussion continued regarding the house numbers. The Nelsons do not want their home to look like it is a duplex. Staff advised the Fire Department requests having separate house numbers to facilitate emergency response. The precedence of having "A" and "B" addresses was asked of staff, and Mr. Iserson didn't think this had been used in the past, although it is his opinion the "A" and "B" address would also make the house look like a duplex. Commissioner McGuirk inquired if staff agreed to the parking plans presented by the applicants. Staff was not sure if the plans would be acceptable at this time; staff is not insisting the parking space be a covered garage and will be flexible to work with the applicants. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED Commissioner Dove advised the Commission follow staff recommendations regarding the two house numbers and the conditions on deed restrictions with the intent of protecting future buyers. He would also be inclined to change the required parking space to allow it to be outside of the three-car garage. Commissioner McGuirk concurs with Commissioner Dove to follow the recommendations of the Fire Department and staff. He does not want cars parked on the street, however, he will go along with staff's suggestions for parking. The covered garage parking is not necessary. He does support the need for the deed restrictions, as outlined in the conditions of approval. Commissioner Wright is also in concurrence with the previous comments. He feels the two house numbers and the deed restrictions are necessary. Commissioner Cooper advised he is in agreement with all the conditions of approval with the modifications noted. Commissioner Barker would like to add that the owner-occupier have signatory rights to any lease agreement of the secondary unit. Staff advised that this would have to become a standard condition applied to all future secondary unit conditional use permits. Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 May 22, 1996
