Commissioner Peters asked which side of the street the sidewalk is one. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that she was unsure but would verify on the plans. Commissioner Peters commented that if the setback is lessened that leaves less room for driveways, parking, and yards. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl replied that typically the sidewalk is on the north side of the street. She noted that the minimum driveway length of 25 feet would still have to be met. Citizen Input Paul Tabone, applicant, stated that the sidewalk loops around the multi-family homes and is not on the north side of the road which should alleviate that concern. He stated that a variance was received for lot sizes, and they would still like to have enough space in the front of the homes for the parking and driveways. He noted that this would be the last clean-up as they head into design. Motion by Commissioner Peters, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy,to close the public hearing.
