<br />~ regulations. He stated that the applicant feels that. infrastructure c sts do not allow for only a <br />three-lot development as suggested by staff. He commented that 's client is out of town a <br />lot as she is a postal inspector. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horan noted that the Commission is in favor of ha . g only three lots on the <br />site. He asked Mr. Farrell if his applicant would attempt to devel only three lots. Mr. <br />Farrell replied that his client feels three lots would not be econo' y feasible, but could <br />not say that she would definitely not consider it. His client has the land about one year <br />and has someone living in the small farmhouse. <br /> <br /> <br />Chairman Mahem asked Mr. Farrell if the applicant plans to live' the farmhouse at some <br />point in time. Mr. Farrell thought that was the case. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGuirk discussed with Mr. Farrell whether the in nt of the client is to <br />renovate the existing farmhouse or remove it and put up a differe one. Mr. Farrell said <br />that the client had intended to renovate the farmhouse simply beca se of it being quite an old <br />structure and had felt this is what the Commission would have pre erred. However, she was <br />not opposed to tearing it down and starting over. <br /> <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CWSED. <br /> <br />Commissioner McGuirk thought it would be more feasible to have three larger homes and <br />~ one small one on the site, rather than four of the same size house. On the other hand he <br />could conceive of moving the lot lines around somewhat to accom odate three larger homes <br />and a cottage-type home with the existing farmhouse. <br /> <br />Commissioner Michelotti recalled that discussions at previous mee . ngs did not support the <br />idea of three larger homes and one small house. She felt that houses of similar size <br />would be more feasible. <br /> <br />General discussion ensued as to whether it would be economically feasible and feasible in <br />appearance to have three larger homes with one small home on th site. <br /> <br />Mr. Farrell said he did not know if there would be a market for a small home of 850-1,000 <br />sq. ft. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wright estimated that if the applicant went with thr houses of approximately <br />3,800 sq. ft. that it would still be economically feasible to have ju t three houses on the lots. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horan thought the applicant would not want to put 3,800 sq. ft. house in <br />this location, as it is adjacent to the fairgrounds. A person buyin this size of house would <br />probably build in the Foothill Road area. <br /> <br />~ Minute. Planning Commiuion <br />February 26, 1992 <br /> <br />Page 4 <br />
