MADAM CHAIR, IF IT PLEASES THE COMMISSION, YOU MAY OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME.
THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM ONE 17 IS OPEN.
I HAVE NO ONE SIGNED TO SPEAK.
IS THERE ANYONE THAT WISHES TO HEARING NONE? I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING QUESTION AND I WAS GONNA SAY IF YOU HAVE NO QUESTIONS.
IS IT 10 UNITS OR FIVE UNITS? I I'M CONFUSED.
YOU SAID 10 BUT ARE DUPLEXES? FIVE DUPLEXES? FIVE DUPLEXES BUT ONLY FIVE LOTS THOUGH.
FIVE LOTS WITH DUPLEXES ON EACH ONE? YES.
I HAVE A QUESTION, COMMISSIONER SINCE WE'RE GOING THERE.
SO, UM, I, I KNOW WHAT THE ORDINANCE SAYS ABOUT PARKING, GUEST PARKING.
THERE'S ONLY ONE GUEST PARKING SPOT.
AND IF THAT RESERVE IS STRICTLY LANDSCAPE AND THERE'S A VARIANCE BEING REQUESTED, IS IT POSSIBLE TO, WAS IT DISCUSSED AT ALL WITH THIS CLIENT TO SEE ABOUT PUTTING TWO PARKING PLACES AT ALL INSTEAD OF THE ONE? NO.
THAT'S, THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.
SO I I I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH OF A BEEF WITH IT, BUT 10 UNITS.
10 UNITS, NO, I MEAN FIVE LOTS, 10 UNITS.
IT'S OVER SIX, BUT EVEN SIX THAT ONLY REQUIRE ONE.
AND THIS MEETS THAT, THAT CRITERIA.
BELIEVE ME, I ASKED FOR TWO FOR SIX, BUT I DIDN'T GET MY WAY.
THEY, WELL THAT'S THE POINT THAT I'M OPENING HERE.
SO, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF IT'S POSSIBLE AND DORIAN, YOU MIGHT BE IN A BETTER POSITION TO SAY YAY OR NAY.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO PUT TWO PARKING SPACES THERE OR IS THAT, OR IS THAT FIRST ONE TOO CLOSE TO THE CURB OR TOO CLOSE TO THE FENCE TO ACTUALLY TURN IN? I'M
[00:30:01]
GIVING THEM AN OUTSO ACTUALLY, UM, THEY WERE CONSIDERING DOING TWO PARKING SPACES.
BUT THEY WANTED TO KEEP THE SAME LAYOUT THAT THEY HAD YES.
AND SO IF THEY ADD ANOTHER PARKING SPACE THAN IT WOULD BE TOO CLOSE IT, IT WOULD BE TOO CLOSE AT THIS POINT IN TIME WITH THE VARIANCE OF COURSE.
WELL, LET'S, LET'S HAVE A TALK.
YEAH, LET'S DISCUSS PARKING SPOTS ADJACENT TO THE BUILD LINE ALL THE TIME.
MICROPHONE, I MEAN IT IS ADJACENT TO THE BUILT LINE.
YOU MEAN? TO THE BUILT LINE, BUT IF IT'S TO THE PROPERTY LINE, MICROPHONE PLEASE.
AND PLEASE LET'S KIND OF, LET'S LOOK AT THE CHAIR.
I BELIEVE THAT WE PUT A PARKING SPACE THAT WOULD BE ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY LINE IN THE STREET.
WHY WOULDN'T AN ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACE FIT THERE? OKAY, I'M JUST CURIOUS.
THE VARIANCE, OH, SAY THE ORDINANCE SAYS THAT A PARKING SPACE HAS TO BE SET BACK 20 FEET FROM THE MAJOR RAFFA BECAUSE IT IS A MAJOR, THE L FOR MANEUVERABILITY.
AND SO TO PUT ANOTHER PARKING SPACE THERE WOULD PUT YEAH, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S ONLY 15 FEET, THAT'S WHY.
I THINK I'M, I'M LOOKING AT RESERVE B MM-HMM
ON ON THE PLOT IT SAYS 18 BY 18, WHICH IS THERE AN ARCHITECT THAT CAN CONFIRM THAT? THAT'S TWO PARKING SPACES.
WHICH I BELIEVE THAT WOULD FIT TWO STANDARD PARKING SPACES.
SO WHY ARE THEY ONLY SHOWING ONE? I MEAN IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY HAVE THE DIMENSION.
ARE WE LOOKING AT 15 BY 20? 15 BY 20.
IT'S GONNA BE A SHORT MEETING.
WHILE WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT QUESTION, COMMISSIONER JONES.
MY COMMENT IS THAT'S WHAT THE UNITS ARE ONLY WIDE ENOUGH FOR ONE CAR GARAGE.
UNLESS IT'S A STACK THOUGH, I, I THINK THAT QUITE FRANKLY TWO SPACES IS WARRANTED SOMEWHERE.
IT MAY BE WARRANTED, BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT REQUESTING SOMETHING THAT'S NOT REQUIRED.
AND THE, YOU KNOW, THE DISTANCE FROM THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE IS AN ISSUE ON THE SIDE.
SO THEY, THEY HAVE MOVED IT AROUND TO THE BEST THAT THEY CAN QUESTION.
COMMISSIONER SIGLER IS THE APPLICANT HERE AND COULD MAYBE THEY ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHAT'S SHOWN ON THE PLOT.
UH, WELL, WAIT, WAIT, HANG ON.
DIVISION MANAGER, PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
UM, UH, COMMISSIONER, ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN THAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED OR YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE PLAID DRAWING? LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN.
SO THE DISCREPANCY IS THE PLAID SHOWS ONE PART SPOT, WHICH IS I THINK NINE BY 19 OR SOMETHING.
BUT THE SITE PLAN SHOWS TWO SPACES.
THE RECENT CHANGES TO THE ORDINANCE REQUIRE THAT WHENEVER PARKING IS PROVIDED ALONG THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE, IT BE A DISTANCE OF 20 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.
THIS ONE SPACE THAT YOU SEE ON THE PLAT IS ONLY 15 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.
THAT'S WHY IF THEY WANT TO PROVIDE THE ADDITIONAL SPACE LIKE THEY SHOWED IN THE SITE PLAN, IT WOULD BE FURTHER CLOSER TO THE PROPERTY LINE.
SO THE ONE SPACE ITSELF MEETS THE ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS AND A DISTANCE OF 15 FEET IS SOMETHING THAT STAFF SUPPORTS IN TERMS OF THE VARIANCE.
SO THAT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS ONE SPACE MEETS THE ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS.
IT'S ONLY THE DISTANCE THAT WE ARE EVALUATING AND IF WE CONSIDER THE DISTANCE FROM THE BACK OF THE CURB, THAT IS, YOU KNOW, PLENTY OF DISTANCE.
SO THAT'S WHY STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST.
DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER THE SITE PLAN? EVENTUALLY IT'LL CHANGE.
THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO UPDATE THE SITE PLAN IN TIME SO RIGHT.
IT'S THIS YES, IT'S THE ACTUAL PLAT.
COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER SAR.
OH NO, NO, I, I GOT THE ANSWERS.
'CAUSE I WAS LOOKING AT THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS SHOWING TWO.
YES, THE SITE PLAN NEEDS TO BE UPDATED.
THE APPLICANT PROBABLY ANTICIPATED TWO SPACES, BUT ONE SPACE ITSELF DOESN'T MEET THE ORDINANCE REQUIREMENT.
TWO SPACES FOR THEIR EXACERBATES THE SITUATION SITUATION.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? THERE ARE TWO SIDE PLANS.
SO THERE ARE TWO SIDE PLANS, CORRECT? THERE IS ONE WITH THE DIMENSIONS.
[00:35:02]
THAT'S CALLED THE PLAT.WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON THE SCREEN IS THE SUBDIVISION PLAT.
SORRY, TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S IN OUR, OUR DOCUMENT, DID WE HAVE TWO SITE PLANS? IT SHOULDN'T BE.
UM, OH, THERE IS, DO YOU HAVE I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I'M LOOKING, I'M LOOKING AT IT THE FIRST.
BUT THE PLOT STILL DOESN'T SHOW THE PARKING SPOT 25 FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE.
THAT'S WHY THE VARIANCE COMMISSIONER RIGHT, IS IT'S NOT, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE, WE'RE ALREADY ALREADY GRANTING THAT VARIANCE.
WHY COULDN'T WE GRANT THE VARIANCE FOR TWO PARKING SPOTS? DO YOU WANT THAT SECOND SPARK PARKING SPOT RIGHT UP AGAINST A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE? IT'S WHAT'S THE WIDTH OF THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARE? IT'S 120 FEET OF RIGHT OF WAY.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR US TO HAVE A PARKING SPOT OFF OF A STREET THAT'S HALF THAT DISTANCE WHERE THEY TURN IN.
WE, WE HAVE THAT TOWNHOUSE CONFIGURATION THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
THIS IS A VARIANCE REQUEST, SO YES.
UM, IF COMMISSION PLEASE AND ONCE THE TWO SPACES, THAT COULD BE A CONDITION THAT COMMISSION PLACES BECAUSE IT'S, THERE'S A MEDIAN IN THIS RIGHT OF WAY THERE ANYWAY.
SO IT'S EFFECTIVELY ONE WAY THERE, WHICH WOULD NOT BE UNLIKE JUST A 60 FOOT RIGHT OF WAY, WHICH WOULD NOT BE UNCOMMON TO HAVE A PARKING SPOT AT THE FRONT.
I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF RACING THAT GOES ON ON THIS ROAD.
UM, SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW, DOES PUBLIC WORKS HAVE A COMMENT ON THIS? MR. BROWN PUBLIC WORKS DID NOT HAVE ANY OBJECTION, BUT YES.
I, I'D LIKE TO JUST KIND OF GET THE FEEL FROM PUBLIC WORKS, WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT PUTTING A SECOND SPACE AND MAKING IT THAT CLOSE VARIANCE.
MADAM CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS PUBLIC WORKS DOES NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT.
I THINK THAT IT'S REVIEWED BY MANY, MANY SERVICE LINES OF THE DEPARTMENT, TRAFFIC BEING ONE OF THEM.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DEFER AND HAVE ME FIELD CHECK IT WITH THOSE ENGINEERS, WE CAN DO THAT.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S AN UNREASONABLE REQUEST.
UM, BUT THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH IT.
WE EITHER APPROVE THIS WITH THE ONE SPACE.
SO, UM, THE QUESTION WOULD BE AT, AT THIS POINT FOR ME, I WOULD LIKE TO GO FORWARD WITH IT WITH THE INVESTIGATION INTO TWO PARKING SPACES, BUT WOULD THIS REQUIRE A SECOND VARIANCE? WOULD MORE PAPERWORK, MORE APPLICATIONS BE REQUIRED OF THE APPLICANT TO MOVE FORWARD FROM HERE OR WOULD THIS BE COVERED UNDER THE VARIANCE REQUEST BY COMMISSION? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
YEAH, THINK UH, UNDER THE SAME VARIANCE, IT'S JUST INSTEAD OF TWO SPACE, ONE SPACE, IT'LL BE TWO SPACES AND IT'S STILL THE DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS.
BUT STAFF RECOMMENDATION IN THAT CASE WILL HAVE TO BE TO DIFFER FOR FURTHER STUDY AND REVIEW.
I DIDN'T WANNA BURDEN THE APPLICANT WITH ANY MORE TIME AND PRESSURE AND MONEY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? OKAY, SO, SO I HAVE TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND SEEK A MOTION WAIT OR YEAH, WE HAVEN'T MADE A MOTION YET.
WELL, I HAVE TO ASK FOR THE MOTION.
WHICH IS TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND UH, I'LL MOVE FOR A DEFERRAL FOR TWO WEEKS FOR PUBLIC WORKS TO LOOK INTO THE PARKING SPOT AND VERIFY IT WON'T CREATE A TRAFFIC PROBLEM.
SO WE HAVE A MOTION TO DEFER BY COMMISSIONER BALDWIN SECOND BY BALLARD.

INSTEAD OF PROPOSING A STREET THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE SITE, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING AN EXTENSION OF MARY KAY LANE, SOUTH OF CARTER ROAD, ALONG THE PROPERTY'S EASTERN BOUNDARY, ALLOWING THE SITE NOT TO BE BISECTED BY THE PROPOSED ROADWAY.
DUE TO THE PROPOSED LAND USE AND THE EXISTING LARGE, LARGE ACREAGE TRACKS SOUTH OF THE SUBJECT SITE STAFFS FIND THE REQUEST IN KEEPING WITH SOUND PUBLIC POLICY.

IN CONTRAST, THIS PORTION OF FANON STREET IS DESIGNATED A SECONDARY TO TOD STREET WHERE COMPLIANCE WITH TOD STANDARDS IS OPTIONAL.

THE NEW BUILDING MUST BE ELEVATED APPROXIMATELY FIVE FEET ABOVE STREET GRADE, STREET GRADE WITH DRAINAGE DIRECTED TOWARD THE STREET.
THESE REQUIREMENTS CREATE SITE PLANNING CONSTRAINTS WHILE STILL MAINTAINING ACCOMMODATIONS FOR VEHICLE CIRCULATION AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS.

AND BECAUSE THE PROPOSED USE AND LAYOUT ARE SIMILAR TO EXISTING CONDITIONS, STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE REQUEST.
