Commissioner Blank noted that the sentence on the third full paragraph on page 18 should be modified to read as follows: “He did not believe believed an apartment without a balcony would be more difficult to rent.” Commissioner Pearce noted that the first sentence of the fourth full paragraph on page 16 should be modified to read as follows: “… especially in the two- and three-bedroom apartments that would house young families who would need to drive their children to school.” Commissioner Pearce noted that the sentence on paragraph 8 on page 17 should be modified to read as follows: “Commissioner Pearce noted that while she did not want to see all metal and glass in the design, she did not want to see a design that looked like the firehouse with a lot of trellises. She would like the design to acknowledge its location.” Chairperson Fox noted that for Ms. Soo’s staff report presented in the third paragraph on page 6, she would like to see mention of the floor area ratios (FAR) for the two zoning standards. She also noted that with respect to the last sentence of the first paragraph on page 7, Ms. Soo had indicated the lot size as being approximately 18,000 square feet. Ms. Decker noted that staff would follow up and confirm what was noted in the record. She added that with respect to the FAR, the last paragraph on page 6 stated that the R-1-20,000 regulations allow a maximum FAR of 30 percent. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Fox regarding whether the FAR for R-1-6,500 was noted as being 40 percent, Ms. Decker confirmed that it was. Chairperson Fox noted that the last sentence of the second full paragraph on page 8 should be modified to read as follows: “Mr. Lamson believed the directional signage was a very important addition and believed the FAR corresponding to the R-1-20,000 was appropriate.” Chairperson Fox noted that she would like to see more detail of the discussion regarding the size and styles of the Ruby Hill homes presented in the last paragraph on page 8 before the public hearing was closed. She recalled that there was a discussion that the front of Ruby Hill was 4,200 square feet; the middle section of Ruby Hill was another square footage measurement, and that the size of the homes next to the golf course was another square footage measurement. She believed that Mr. Lamson stated what each square footage measured and requested that that information be reflected in the minutes. Chairperson Fox noted that in connection with the motion on page 10, she believed that she stated she supported the motion for R-1-20,000 but did not recall whether she supported the motion concerning the addition suggested regarding the garage extension and the square footage extensions. She requested that staff confirm that information. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES May 23, 2007 Page 2 of 20
