18673 | Board Member Knox White said they should check with Public Works about maintenance and concerns about pedestrians' proximity to traffic if there is growth along the wall. He said the homes are out of scale for the neighborhood and we should consider setting some guidelines for the sizes of the homes. Board Member Curtis agreed with the other board members. Board Member Zuppan agreed with the previous comments about design, scale, and the fence on Tilden. She said the homes are near busy streets and the design needs to take potential accidents into consideration. Board Member Mitchell said he would like to see the second stories and home sizes better match the neighborhood. He suggested reducing the number of duplexes in the project. He said he would like to see the fence issue come back. President Köster said he would like to see more variation in the architecture beyond just color and material. He said he would be fine with the ramps being in the garages. He said he would like the universal design requirements to remain. Steve Sorenson said the builder is a good builder and wants to build good homes. Mr. Mapes said the crawl space would be more like 30" above grade, not 12". He said there are many duplexes along Fernside Boulevard. Board Member Mitchell said using garages for accessibility is a bad idea because garages are often cluttered and obstructed. Board Member Burton made a motion to approve the resolution amending the development plan, keep the visitability and accessible unit standards but allow the front yard setbacks on lots 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 be amended to be 12' minimum to front porch and 17' minimum to face of building, and have the fence along Tilden come back for design review. Board Member Curtis seconded the motion. Board Member Zuppan asked for clarification as to whether the design reviews for lots 1 and 2 were part of the motion. Staff Member Thomas said the resolution just defines the setbacks, and staff would be responsible for design review. Board Member Knox White said that they should give direction on unit size now for staff to consider during design reviews. Approved Minutes Page 5 of 8 June 26, 2017 Planning Board Meeting |
