City Planner McGuire Brigl stated that these are the proposed lot lines and do not include the <br />footprint of the buildings, therefore the setbacks could potentially be met. <br /> <br />Mr. Bebeau explained that he proposes the footprint to fill the lot lines. <br /> <br />City Planner McGuire Brigl noted that attaching the townhomes would be another manner in which <br />the request could meet the guidelines. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer clarified that rather than having two four-unit structures, there could be one <br />eight-unit structure. <br /> <br />Mr. Bebeau replied that he would be okay with that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson stated that he is not opposed to the idea but simply wants to ensure that <br />safety is taken into consideration. <br /> <br />Mr. Bebeau stated that he could reduce the footprint slightly if desired. He noted that he could <br />also do a full cul-de-sac if desired. <br /> <br />City Planner McGuire Brigl asked if the Commission would prefer to have the eight units <br />connected rather than considering a variance for two four-unit buildings. <br /> <br />Commissioner Woestehoff noted that the applicant stated that he could reduce the widths which <br />would provide the required amount of separation. He stated that he would be comfortable with <br />the two buildings with the required amount of separation or having all eight units connected. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated that there are other zones where the setbacks are reduced and <br />therefore, he would be fine with the variance. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer noted that he would not be opposed to a variance either. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gengler stated that she would support connecting all eight units or having the <br />smaller footprint with the required amount of separation between the two buildings. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer confirmed a split consensus on whether a variance would be supported. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill suggested that this sketch plan move forward to the <br />City Council on that policy related discussion. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer asked if those not in favor of the variance are simply not in favor of a variance <br />or whether they favor the additional separation. <br /> <br />The three members of the Commission stated that their decision was because of both of those <br />factors. <br /> <br /> <br />Planning Commission/ November 7, 2019 <br />Page 10 of 11 <br /> <br />
