DRAFT Commissioner Pearce seconded the motion. Commissioner O'Connor requested an amendment to the motion to include a cap on total square footage, including accessory buildings and garages, to avoid excessive square footage in those buildings. He suggested a cap of 10,000-square-foot total for home, garage, and accessory structures. Ms. Decker noted that may preclude one of the homes (7,128 square feet with a 1,668-square-foot garage) from having any accessory structures. Commissioner O'Connor noted that the conditions started with Number 3; Ms. Decker noted that was a typographical error and that the conditions should start with Number I, Commissioners Blank and Pearce did not accept the proposed amendments; the previous motion was maintained. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: RECUSED: ABSENT: Commissioners Blank, Fox, and Pearce. Commissioners O'Connor, and Olson. None. None. None. Resolution No. PC-2006-55, recommending approval of PUD-99-7-3M/PDR-578, was entered and adopted as motioned. Commissioner O'Connor stated that he was concerned that the buildable mass on a lot can still be too large, including garages that can house many cars. Commissioner Blank stated for the record that he would have supported the I 50-point green building requirement. Acting Chairperson Fox believed that it was important to minimize the visual prominence of homes, and while she was happy with the 7,500-square-foot maximum, she would have liked to have seen 5,OOO-square-foot homes in the Happy Valley area. Commissioner Blank inquired whether a motion to add a green building requirement may be made. Ms. Decker noted that a motion to reconsider may be made in order to modify the motion. Commissioner Blank moved to reconsider the previous motion to add the language that the FAR square-foot restriction would not apply if the building has at least 150 LEED points. Commissioner Olson seconded the motion. DRAFT EXCERPTS: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 18,2006 Page50f6
