Ms. Decker explained that State and local government understand that second units are a good tool for families who are taking care of their elderly and it provides various advantages to the family and the community at large. She noted that the City works within the confines of State law regardless if the CC&R's states that second units are not allowed. She also mentioned that the City ordinance does not require covered parking for second units. Ms. Decker stated that the setbacks are well within the requirement and that there are no concerns regarding the modification. She explained the reason the modification was heard with the administrative design review for the second unit was because they were tied one to the other as to request, but not as to process. She further explained that minor modifications are not usually heard by the Zoning Administrator, but when a minor modification becomes a major modification because of opposition, it is then heard by the Planning Commission and City Council. Ms. Decker acknowledged that construction maybe considered a nuisance, but that this particular area has a great deal of construction. She noted that overall there has not been an outcry as to construction hours. Ms. Decker indicated that the condition regarding landscaping on the side yard requires the Planning Director to review and approve the plan, which typically includes landscaping for the entire site. The City would not require the landscaping to be in violation with the HOA landscape guidelines. Ms. Decker granted approval of PUD-99-9-2M and PADR-1762, subject to the conditions of approval as shown on Exhibit B. Ms. Decker explained that the decision could be appealed to the Planning Commission within 15 days. As there was no further business, the Zoning Administrator adjourned the meeting at 2:45 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Steve Otto a Minutes: PUD-99-9-2M/PADR-1762 Page 5 January 22, 2008
