units would be staggered to break up the walls while the detached units would be keeping <br />similar front yard setbacks. The lots located behind the subject property are elevated higher <br />which scales down the presence of the units to what appears as a two-story structure when <br />viewed from the Vineyard Avenue side or the rear. However when the structure is viewed from <br />the driveway the height is expressed as three-stories. <br />Direction Needed: <br />• Is the proposed building height appropriate for the site? <br />• Is the proposed building clustering and tuck-under garage design appropriate for the <br />neighborhood? <br />• Would the proposed color and material schemes appropriate? <br />• Should the detached units, if desired, have differing architectural features and massing? <br />• Do the wall articulations and varied building heights provide sufficient mediation for the <br />bulk and massing of the clustered structures? <br />Parking <br />During the neighborhood meeting, the neighbors residing on the nearby single-family zoned <br />streets, such as Second, Neal, W. Angela, and Ray Streets, specifically expressed concerns <br />regarding the amount of parking being offered. They felt the tandem parking was not <br />appropriate and there wasn't enough guest parking. They requested staff to consider the parking <br />impacts that would be generated when the residents have more vehicles than what could be <br />accommodated inside the one-car garages with tandem driveway parking. They urged that <br />sufficient parking be provided on site; including parking for guests and parking for residents <br />who have more than two vehicles. Given the existing parking situation, some of the neighbors <br />requested that the number of units be reduced. It was noted there is off-street parking along <br />First Street in front of the subject site. <br />Direction Needed: <br />• Are the proposed site designs in "Exhibit C and D"appropriate although they do not <br />provide guest parking spaces? <br />• Are the proposed guest parking spaces in the other "Exhibits "adequate to support the 4 <br />additional residential units with a second dwelling unit? <br />• Should the common space area be reduced to provide for more parking stalls? <br />• Can the off-site parking spaces along First Street be considered as secondary guest <br />parking spaces for this project? <br />• Even though tandem spaces provide more open space, it is appropriate for this site? <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Notice of this workshop was sent to all property owners and occupants within 1,000 feet of the <br />subject property. In response to the noticing, staff received a phone call from a resident who is <br />PUD-64/First Street LLC Planning Commission <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />
