PLANNING COMMISSION 3/23/83 Page 3 indicated that perhaps the Commission would entertain the idea of a temporary conditional use permit in either the I-G or I-P Districts. Chairperson Lindsey then asked the other members of .the Commission if they concurred with this statement. They indicated that they did. Commissioner Wilson said perhaps this would be for Sundays only. Commissioner Doherty felt that any church would be using the facilities at other times as well. MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS Commissioner Jamieson told staff that both he and Mrs. Getty felt adamant about striping or marking the divider strips on Santa Rita Road last year. He asked staff to again consider this at their next traffic committee meeting. He said recently a motorcycle hit a divider strip and was killed. He asked who the members of the traffic committee are. Mr. Warnick responded indicated that he, West Jost, a member of the police department and field services comprise the committee. Chairperson Lindsey asked about the minor modification approved by staff for Breilh Homes received recently. Mr. Harris stated that City Council has appealed the matter so it will come before the Planning Commission and City Council in the future. Commissioner Doherty stated that he had called staff on this matter earlier in the week and asked questions concerning the proposal. Commissioner Wilson stated that at the last meeting an applicant proposed a multi-residential site on Santa Rita Road asking for 26 units/acre and that they heard testimony from the neighbors against the proposal. He indicated statements were made that they purchased homes, and realizing they had small backyards they weren't concerned because there was a large empty piece of property behind them with trees, they didn~t want the trees cut down because they served as an airconditioner for the homes. He said he frankly doesn't believe the neighbors understand the density. Commissioner Wilson said he would like to see a written report on densities throughout town. Commissioner Doherty said the problem he had with the proposal was lack of communication between developer and neighbors. He felt that perhaps a compromise might have been reached had communication taken place. Commissioner Wilson felt the applicant was totally surprised at the objection of the neighbors. Commissioner Wilson felt that a major street such as Santa Rita Road is an ideal place for high density. Commissioner Jamieson felt the project was just too dense.
