CityCouncil | 2009-09-01 | 5 | Councilmember Gilmore moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Gilmore suggested that the speakers contact staff about the other referenced property. Mayor Johnson stated the neighbors should have concrete, real answers regarding what can be built; sending the project back to the Planning Board would be best. Councilmember Matarrese stated placing the public hearing on the Consent Calendar is inconsistent with past practices. Councilmember Gilmore stated a public hearing occurred two years ago; the Planning Board gave the property owner a list of conditions that needed to be fulfilled in order for the project to come to Council; the property owner would be penalized [if the matter went back to the Planning Board] for doing what was expected; that she has sympathy for the property owner because time is money. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether the ordinance is being introduced tonight and final passage would be agendized for the next meeting. The Planning Services Manager responded the ordinance would come back to Council for final passage at the next meeting; however, the subdivision issue would not. Mayor Johnson inquired whether there was anything onerous about what the Planning Board required in 2007. The Planning Services Manager responded the Planning Board wanted utilities separated and a portion of the garage removed so that the garage would not cross the property line. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether utilities have been split, to which the Planning Services Manager responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Tam stated the neighbors' concerns would be addressed with the Planning Board's seven findings with respect to the subdivision. Councilmember Tam seconded the motion. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers deHaan, Gilmore and Tam - 3. Noes Councilmember Matarrese and Mayor Johnson - 2.
