103 Mr. Swift said he had no objection to the Council's deleting that condition. Mayor Mercer referred to staff recommendation No. 2 and asked if it was the developer's intent to create a private street. Mr. Alexander answered yes. Mr. Butler pointed out that when Amber Lane is widened, that section of the private street would become public. Mr. Alexander was aware of this and added that the developers were offering it for dedication at this time. There being no further testimony, Mr. Mercer declared the public hearing closed. Ms. Mohr asked that if the area in the house called the mezzanine were deleted, would that make these houses fit with the Planning Commission recommendation for floor area ratios. She did not understand why having a loft in the house was a problem to the Planning Commission. Mr. Swift was not sure but thought that the homes would be over thirty percent because there was not that much area in the mezzanine. Mr. Swift said that the Planning Commission did not address having a loft. It reviewed the floor area ratio, height and the mass of the houses with the garages. Mayor Mercer asked how much space was between the houses. Mr. Swift answered 27 to 30 feet. Ms. Mohr believed that the side yard setbacks that were given were more generous than City standards. It would seem that the combination of units in the area should be very comfortable with respect to a sense of spaciousness and landscaping. It was moved by Mr. Butler, and seconded by Ms. Mohr, approving the homes as proposed with F.A.R.'s ranging from 31.9% to 34.2%, excluding three garage parking spaces. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Butler, Mohr, Scribner, and Mayor Mercer NOES: None ABSENT: Councilmember Tarver ABSTAIN: None 10/20/92 5
