Stefan Schnitzler, the applicant, gave a presentation. Board Member Xiomara Cisneros asked about Mr. Schnitzler's response to a public comment he had received.

Mike Branaugh, the applicant, said they had spoken with the resident and had explained more about the design. President Teague opened the board's clarifying questions. Board Member Hanson Hom asked if there had been a Shade Study done and wanted to know if they would typically require a Shade Study for a project like this. Mr. Schnitzler said they had not done a Shade Study. Staff Member Dong explained when they would require a Shade Study. Board Member Hom asked how much qualifying open space met the zoning standard and wanted to know if staff analyzed that. He wanted clarification on the private open space that doesn't meet the requirements. Staff Member Dong said it was primarily the common open space that would meet the requirements. He then explained about private open space requirements and why this project can't make that requirement. Board Member Hom asked about the care and maintenance responsibility for the parking lot under the HOA. Mr. Schnitzler answered that the 9 units would bear the brunt of the maintenance of the common area on lot 12 that's accessible to the other residents of the existing project. He also explained what would happen when the units sold. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 2 of 15 November 23, 2020 | PlanningBoard/2020-11-23.pdf |
