Page 15 Minute s Planning Commission Commissioner Wilson asked what percentage of those units do you have to put in the bonding program to get the entire development exempt from RAPS Mike Harris said he didn't think that matter had been settled but thought 25~ was discussed. Commissioner Wilson then asked Mr. Harris what the monthly payments would be. Mr. Harris said that would depend upon the interest rate, amount put down by the buyer, etc. G. Michael Goldsworthy, architect for the project spoke to the corrected plans and reason for the changes, i.e., sewer easement was not as shown, Zone 7 has a 15' easement required near the west of the property line and the original plan showed fine 15' easement down the center. He indicated a survey determined these irregularities. Commissioner Wilson asked Mr. Goldsworthy to address the fact that there are no provisions for guest parking in the development. Mr. Goldsworthy stated that the original plan showed 16 parking spaces for guests and that staff recommended that some be removed. Commissioner Wilson stated he has a problem with the density and lack of parking. Mike Harris said they have to keep the cost down, but were putting in a City street to accommodate traffic. Commissioner Wilson indicated that th.e Madden project got approved with 29 units per acre and that it was the first attempt to come up with affordable housing in the area but that he doesn't think he would ever want to load the area with the same density again. He. realizes this project. is one half--that but it still doesn't have sufficient parking in his opinion. He further asked Mr. Goldsworthy if he really can lay out the units as they appear on the elan. Mr. Goldsworthy said he could. ~ said the property gradually slopes toward the Arroyo. Commissioner Doherty asked why staff requested the applicant to reduce guest parking. Mr. Harris stated that the parking was 90°, backing onto a City street and the City didn't want to assume the liability problems connected with this. Commissioner Doherty said the project went from 18 guest parking to seven guest parking and now it is down to three. Mr. Harris indicated that two for one parking is sufficient and the City has approved that ratio for other projects. Mr. Goldsworthy said that there are presently two for one parking on the site. Chairperson Getty said there are no storage facilities either in the project as well as lack of parking. Mike Harris said on one hand you are talking about affordable housing,-and amenities on the other.
