Chairperson Bauer aye <br />Commissioner Peters aye <br />Motion carried. <br />Chairperson Bauer closed the public hearing closed at 10:06 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that if the Commission tables the request, staff would <br />still appreciate direction as to whether there is an appetite towards a mix of lot sizes. <br />Chairperson Bauer stated that if the Commission feels that 80-foot lots would be the choice, that <br />recommendation should be made tonight. He stated that if the Commission is open to a mix of <br />lots, that direction should be provided along with additional elements for the developer and staff <br />to work on. <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that the City worked hard on the draft Comprehensive Plan and <br />would not support anything other than 80-foot lots as anything else would not support the character <br />of the neighborhood. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the Brookfield development has only 80-foot lots. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl confirmed that Brookfield has 80-foot lots. <br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced the comment made by a resident that density ranges from <br />denser in The COR and then moves towards wider lots as you go out from there. She stated that <br />she would also support 80-foot lots. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if Councilmember Musgrove is speaking as a member of the <br />Council or whether that is her personal opinion. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that is her personal opinion. She stated that the Council has had <br />recent discussion related to housing and density. She stated that her comment was not meant to <br />sway the Commission but felt that was an important comment made by the residents. <br />Commissioner VanScoy echoed the comment that there was a lot of intent in developing the draft <br />Comprehensive Plan and zoning in order to support a transition in zoning. He stated that he would <br />support the 80-foot lot size and would not support smaller lot sizes on the property. <br />Commissioner Gengler stated that she is open to smaller lots sizes in the development. She <br />understands the intent of the zoning but feels like there have been some changes to what consumers <br />desire in the housing market. She stated that it does not seem that 80-foot lots are as popular as <br />they once may have been. She stated that she understands the idea of changing a neighborhood is <br />scary and therefore would support the idea of surveying residents to gather additional input and <br />Planning Commission/ May 7, 2020 <br />Page 19 of 29 <br />
