increase FAR even more, it concerns her. Also, she felt the concern for parking could also be real if the homes are rented out. She would like staff to discuss how the Council evaluates FAR in the downtown in the future. She also is worried there is no playground area for children. She said in other projects, the City has asked for $2,500 to go towards the Bernal Park so there is more area for children and she would like this put forward onto this project. Councilmember Cook-Kallio questioned if 105 points is the minimum required or total number available. Ms. Decker said the applicants are proposing 105 green points, but the requirement is 50 points. Councilmember Cook-Kallio said since the City wanted them to move the carport, she would rather not charge them for the tree, Mayor Hosterman and Vice Thorne agreed. Councilmember McGovern said she approves something based on what the quality to the community is, and 105 is a good green building quality and does not want 50 points, and wants the project to achieve this. Mayor Hosterman said this has been proposed by the applicant. Councilmember Sullivan supports the project in general, but also thinks there should be a balance. Historically, the houses have been smaller downtown but they are starting to get bigger and we should be careful to not go too big or dense and lose some the livability. He also shared his concerns about carports. Councilmember Cook-Kallio noted that there were two carports in the existing homes for this project and garages are proposed for the new homes. Councilmember Sullivan agreed, but wanted to take a closer look at future proposals and suggested the City hold a workshop. He said he will support the project with the inclusion of Councilmember McGovern's proposed conditions and he also believes the City should hold the applicant to 105 points.
