Chair Bauer noted that given the distance between the property line and structures, he could see <br />justification to reduce the 40-foot setback. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that there is a desire to extend Center Street <br />through that area to provide a connection through the neighborhood. He stated that there has been <br />discussion in the past to extend Variolite south and therefore there is a desire to obtain right-of- <br />way in the area. <br />Erin Carlson, representing the applicant, stated that they are very excited to begin this project and <br />appreciates the positive comments thus far. She provided updated renderings of the elevations. <br />She referenced the issue of landscaping along the buffering area and noted that they would work <br />with staff to find appropriate landscaping. She stated that the focus for this development is <br />sustainability and they will attempt to avoid disturbing natural areas and use natural plantings. <br />Chair Bauer asked if there is a desired timeline for the project. <br />Ms. Carlson replied that they would be attempting to begin construction in the spring. <br />Commissioner Anderson asked the proposed exterior materials. <br />Ms. Carlson reviewed the mix of exterior materials that would be proposed. <br />Commissioner Peters referenced the lots that would backup to 147th and asked if the backs of those <br />yards would be fenced. <br />Ms. Carlson replied that those lots would not be fenced. <br />Commissioner Peters asked if there would be a homeowner's association that would require <br />specific types of fencing material. <br />Ms. Carlson replied that their intention would be to have no fencing as this would be a CIC, where <br />the homeowner will own their home but the homeowner's association would maintain all the green <br />areas and common areas. <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated that typically he would expect to see sidewalks in a development <br />and asked if this development would have that amenity. <br />Ms. Carlson replied that there would not be sidewalks. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained that the roadway would be a private drive <br />and therefore the City does not always require sidewalks. He stated that there is a preexisting <br />sidewalk along 147th <br />Commissioner Peters asked the numbers of cars that driveways would accommodate as there <br />would be no parking allowed on the street. <br />Planning Commission/ October 3, 2019 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />
