"In this particular circumstance, I ask the Planning Commission to deny this <br />proposed project. <br />"Thank you for taking the time to read my letter." <br />Chair Olson stated that he had first encountered Mr. Persin's proposed solution that the <br />applicants utilize the unused side-yard lot space and limit the second-story addition to <br />the front western quadrant of the home in the three appellants' letter of July 15, 2010, <br />which is part of the appeal packet. He asked Mr. Persin whether all three appellants still <br />hold the view that there is a solution within the confines of the applicants' property. <br />Mr. Persin stated that this was a difficult question to answer as each of the appellants <br />have their own individual concerns, and he does not know if he would be capable of <br />answering the question without individually asking each of the other two appellants. <br />Commissioner Pentin asked Mr. Persin if he would be amenable if the applicants <br />utilized most of the first floor and still built on the second floor. <br />Mr. Persin said yes. He acknowledged that compromise is difficult but that while they <br />do not want a second floor addition, they would like to see the applicant give more. <br />Commissioner Blank asked Mr. Persin to verify that he had stated that this proposal <br />would make the house the largest in the Val Vista development. <br />Mr. Persin replied that he stated it would be the largest two-story home out of the <br />12 two-story homes in the Val Vista development. He added that he had taken his <br />information from the public records. <br />Commissioner Blank inquired if the 2,900-square-foot home on Robin Court is single <br />story. <br />Ms. Bonn said yes. <br />Commissioner Blank asked Ms. Bonn if she would agree the proposed project would <br />make it the largest two-story home in the development. <br />Ms. Bonn replied that she was not certain it would be the largest and noted that the <br />homes listed on page 13 of the staff report were all single stories and were located <br />within the 300-foot radius of the subject property. <br />Mr. Persin stated that the houses listed in his letter, which is in the packet, are all two <br />stories. <br />Commissioner Pearce requested clarification from Mr. Persin that when he refers to <br />limiting the second-story addition to the western front quadrant, he was talking not about <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 25, 2010 Page 9 of 38 <br /> <br />
