Des Moines Plan & Zoning Commission meeting via teleconference on Thursday, May 7, 2020.

B
B
Well,
welcome
to
the
plan
and
Zoning
Commission
and
I'm
going
to
read
the
rules
of
procedure.
The
plan
and
Zoning
Commission
is
generally
an
advisory
body
for
the
City
Council.
The
City
Council
will
hold
a
public
hearing
and
make
the
final
decision
on
all
matters
before
the
Commission
other
than
site
plans
and
some
debate
subdivision
plat.
Unless
denials
or
conditional.
B
B
B
B
The
applicant
has
been
allowed
5
minutes
for
rebuttal.
If
any
opponent
spoke.
All
comments
are
to
be
germane
to
the
item
under
consideration
and
speakers
are
two
main
Santacruz
manner.
The
earring
will
then
be
closed
and
the
Commission
will
discuss
and
vote
on.
The
issue
items
listed
on
the
portion
of
the
agenda
will
not
be
individually.
A

D

Okay,
this
is
Eric
Wendy
senior
city
planner.
My
understanding
is:
there's
a
Thomas
Nichols
to
speak
on
item
one
in
opposition.
He
had
contacted
staff
earlier
this
week
to
indicate
that
and
I
see
that
he's
on
the
call
I'm
not
sure
he
has
capability
of
microphone.
So
if
he's
got
microphone,
you
should
try
to
unmute.

Is
requests
from
Casey's
marketing
company
represented
by
Barney
back
for
review
and
approval
of
a
P
V
final
development
plan,
Casey's
door
number
11

for
property
located
at
3200,
Southwest
9th
Street
to
allow
development
of
a
1520
1664
square
foot
general
food
sales
store
with
a
4870
square
foot
gas
station
convenience
store
to
include
a
pump
ion
canopy
with
14
fueling
locations.
The
subject
property
is
owned
by
turkey.
I'd
like
a
motion
to
move
number
1
to
the
public
hearing
item.
This.

Preventive
care
members
of
the
Commission
Eric
Landy
senior
city
planner
item
1
is
a
request
from
Casey's
or
approval
of
their
final
development
plan.
You
may
have
recently
recalled
their
land
unit
development
rezoning
going
through.
So
this
is
their
development
initiative.
Now
coming
back
for
approval
for
the
the
final
development
plan,
this
will
also
go
on
to
City
Council.
C
The
property
in
gold
is
the
subject.
Property
of
the
PUD
and
is
is
the
only
thing
included
in
the
final
development
plan
area
at
the
corner
of
Park
Avenue
and
Southwest,
9th
Street
Park
Avenue
Elementary
School
is
up
on
the
northeast
corner.
This
photo
I'll
quickly
run
through
site
photos.
This
is
looking
from
Park
to
the
southeast
across
the
state
or
more
directly
south
or
to
the
southwest.
C
C
A
class
a
sidewalk
along
both
streets
with
tree
planters,
with
overstory
trees
and
shrubs
or
ornamentals,
where
there,
the
power
line
area
perimeter
landscaping
on
the
interior
of
the
site.
I
should
point
out
that
this
East
driveway
on
the
Park
Avenue.
Is
they
right
in
right
out
only
with
the
diverter
in
the
center
they've
shown
their
sign
in
this
area
and
then
open
space
landscaping
in
the
rear,
where
the
main
open
space
area
is
they've
shown
to
pedestrian
connections
from
each
public
sidewalk
to
the
front
of
the
store.
C
G
C
C
This
is
a
elevation
of
the
canopy
that
ended
up
getting
proposed.
If
you
recall,
in
the
zoning
stage
that
came
in
front
of
PMZ,
the
recommendation
was
to
do
a
demonstration
with
the
canopy
or
an
articulation
that
did
something
to
break
the
expanse
of
the
length
of
a
lineal,
violent
array.
So
they
chose
to
what
a
raised
section
in
the
center
to
do
meet
that
requirement.
C
I'm
gonna
go
right
to
the
staff
recommendation.
We
have
a
few
I
would
say
fairly
minor
concerns
that
we
indicated
in
the
staff
report.
We
always
want
compliance
with
the
administrative
review
comment
based
on
the
review
of
the
plan.
In
accordance
with
the
PD
conceptual
plan.
We
want
the
provision
of
public
pedestrian
easement
in
locations,
there's
a
few
little
areas
where
the
sidewalk
area
would
encroach
into
the
site,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
provided.
C
We
believe
this
could
include
a
combination
of
things
with
grasses
shrub
plantings
of
firming
up
of
their
monuments
lying
on
that
corner.
So
there's
a
few
things
that
they
would
be
able
to
do
to
make
this
thing
that
your
landscape
feature.
We
want
to
it's
our
understanding,
there's
an
intent
to
have
seasonal
merchandise
display,
but
they
didn't
show
the
specific
locations
for
that.
C
So
we
want
to
make
sure
they're
designating
those
merchandise
display
areas,
and
then
the
submitted
lighting
plan
was
almost
perfect,
except
for
there's
a
couple
locations
where
they
need
to
adjust
to
make
sure
that
they're
complying
with
the
maximum
2
foot
candles
pretty
boundaries
were
there
across
from
commercial
uses.
I
don't
believe
there
was
any
where
they
were
running
into
problems
with
the
residential
properties
of
joining
I,
think
they
had
0.5
or
less
on
all
of
those
boundaries
outside
of
those
boundaries,
so
I
think
they're
all
mainly
to
do
with
the.
H
C
C
B
C
C
G
C
B
C
We
are
in
agreement
all
the
combinations
all
of
that
are
definitely
doable.
We
are
updating
the
lighting
right
now.
We
have
finalized
that
seasonal
displays
to
the
city.
We're
okay
with
future
easement
is
RT,
it's
a
it's
a
previously.
It
is
already
told
and
all
these
myths
on
the
property
we
need
to
get
that
to
the
city.
The
cross,
access,
we're
okay
with
the
pedestrian
easement,
and
we
won't
take
care
of
any
of
the
park.
C
C
What
we
ate
on
the
south
side
is
another
grocery
store.
Our
discount
grocery
store,
so
we're
not
forced
just
to
go
to
Heidi
or
fairway
is
I.
Think
that
goes
by
that
I.
Don't
miss
table
on
the
corner
and
I
believe
that
the
city
should
try
harder
to
find
another
discount
or
speech
towards
internet
I,
feel
I,
don't
know
what
you've
done
to
try
and
get
another
discount
grocery
store
to
come
in
or
he's
done
anything.
C
B
C
C
C
C
Is
a
determination
of
whether
or
not
the
final
development
plan
is
consistent
with
the
approved
PUD
zoning
and
concept
plan
that
have
already
been
approved
by
the
council
several
months
ago,
and
so
the
debate
about
the
use
on
the
property
was
really
to
be
made
several
months
ago.
During
that
rezoning
hearing
to
the
plan
to
development
and
so
tonight,
you're
charged
with
making
sure
that
the
final
development
plan
addresses.
C
So
unfortunately,
the
debate
tonight
is
not
about
the
use
on
the
property
will
also
remind
the
Commission
that
at
the
peak
voting
hearing
and
concept
plan
hearing,
there
was
full
support
from
the
Southwest,
9th
Business
Group
for
the
proposed
layout
and
use
on
the
property,
and
it
was
determined
to
be
consistent
with
the
Southwest
9th
corridor
plan
that
was
adopted
as
well
by
the
City
Council.
Thank
you.

C
C
Madam
chair
members
of
the
Commission,
this
is
Eric
Wendy
senior
city
planner.
This
particular
project
does
not
have
any
separate
accent
lighting
the
signs
that
would
be
on
the
canopy
are
internally
lit.
That
design
guideline
was
to
allow
for
things
like
you
might
see
a
neon
band
across
the
center
of
a
canopy
fascia,
for
example,
so
it
it
was
put
into
those
design
guidelines.
With
that
in
mind
again,
this
project
does
not
propose
that.
B
D
C
B
C
I'm
trying
to
share
my
screen
chance
great
your
screen,
shared
right
now
as
to
when
you
need
to
hit
the
PDF
back
rebec.
Thank
you,
okay,
but
we're
here
today
to
talk
about
the
proposed
adoption
of
amendment
to
the
approve
zoning
ordinance.
Just
the
134
of
the
city
code
regarding
regulations
related
to
lodging
short-term
commercial
rental,
use
brief
presentation,
original,
short-term
rental
amendment
current
operational
requirements,
which
were
passed
on
December's,
the
2019,
where
I
should
put
our
long-term
tenant
occupant,
is
required
for
a
single
household
or
to
house
both.
J
C
C
C
C
C
C
C
Ordinance
we
have
to
give
pertinent
information
to
the
occupant
like
garbage,
pickup
days,
parking
restrictions,
no
day,
restrictions,
emergency
numbers
and
a
management
agent
number
and
then
again,
contact
information
for
the
owner
and
the
management
agent
should
be
given
to
neighbors
next
slide.
So
the
pending
proposed
changes
to
the
operational
require
have
gone
to
Council.
They
have
continued
the
hearing
and
directed
staff
to
bring
forward
additional
items,
but
this
is
what
is
before
them
right
now,.
C
C

C

C

C
C
This
is
Dianne
Graham
I'm
at
635,
46th
Street.
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me
all
right?
Yes,
thank
you,
the
commission,
members
and
staff
for
the
opportunity
to
see
since
the
start
of
the
year,
I've
spoken
out
about
the
lack
of
residential
neighborhood
protections
in
this
ordinance.
I
currently
have
three
illegal
short
term
rental
businesses.
In
my
little
finger
salt
park
neighborhood,
including
one
next
door
I'd
rather
not
have
any
Airbnb
in
the
neighborhood
I,
didn't
expect
a
mini
hotel
business
to
be
nearby.
C
When
I
bought
my
house,
the
single
biggest
investment
I'll
ever
make,
which
is
why
I've
urged
both
your
Commission
and
the
City
Council
the
basic
balance,
the
scales
between
protecting
this
illegal,
unregulated
business
and
protecting
the
neighborhoods
they've
disrupted.
One
way
to
help
do
that
would
be
to
restrict
the
number
of
short-term
rentals
for
a
neighborhood
known
as
density
limit.
Yes,
the
ordinance
currently
does
for
condos
and
apartment
building.
C
So
I
was
happy
at
the
April
city
council
work
session,
when
a
majority
of
the
council
directed
staff
to
ask
the
cons
as
a
concept
of
a
700-foot
separation
between
any
whole
house
or
small
unit
condo.
The
apartment
buildings
running
these
short-term
rental
that
wouldn't
affect
and
impact
the
tree
in
my
neighborhood,
but
it
would
likely
prevent
someone
from
opening
a
fourth.
What
I
strongly
objected,
though,
is
a
proposal
also
before
you
to
suspend
that
density
provision
billion
the
creating
a
so-called
amnesty
tribute.
C
Anyone
who
applies
for
a
permit
in
those
first
three
months
doesn't
have
to
meet
this.
None
would
be
the
best
word
to
describe
my
reaction.
Did
it
after
a
council
majority
agreed
in
February
to
seriously
considered
density
restriction
after
most
of
the
Council
on
April
work
sessions?
That
is
supportive
of
the
700
club
idea.
They're,
basically
pulling
the
rug
out
from
under
the
neighborhood.
They
dangled
the
carrot
of
density,
productive
protections
and
then
and
ready
to
snatch
it
away
for
the
first
90
days
so
think
about
it.
C
Think
there
saw
Park
residents
raised
this
earlier
this
year.
I
just
wanted
to
add
that,
since
the
man
mentioned
that
she
didn't
think,
anyone
else
had
formally
requested
that
also
granting
a
ten-year
conditional
use
permit
to
run
a
short
term.
Rental
in
a
residential
area
is
way
too
generous.
The
claim
that
this
is
necessary
to
get
a
mortgage
loan
is
specious.
C
I
can't
find
another
US
city
that
offers
that,
at
a
time,
frame
and
short-term
rentals
have
certainly
been
growing
in
all
those
places
and
lenders,
no
short-term
rental
owners,
always
at
the
option
to
go
to
a
regular
long-term
rental,
as
some
owners
are
likely
doing
because
of
the
koban
situation.
They
only
two
more.
C
More
minutes,
okay,
the
only
other
change
is
the
requirement
of
one
off
street
parking
spot
for
bedroom
and
that's
a
step
forward,
but
it's
not
going
to
solve
the
parking
problem
with
Airbnb
opening
in
our
charming
older
homes
with
skinny
drives.
The
first
example
has
three
bedrooms
but
promise
to
sleep
10.
So
why
take
the
medius
name
media's
neighborhood
production
and
shelve
it
for
90
days
if
there,
for
a
few
instances
where
couple
of
existing
terminals
are
closer
than
750,
the
owner
consecutive
variants
from
the
Board
of
Adjustment?
C
Meanwhile,
neighborhoods
can
still
enjoy
these
protections
as
soon
as
enforcement
start.
An
overuse
come
back
to
our
projections
has
been
Tuesday.
This
is
a
living
document
that
can
always
be
amended,
but
of
course
those
amendments
wouldn't
apply
to
any
existing
short-term
rentals
they'd
be
grandfathered
in
another,
overused
come
back.
If
there's
a
problem
with
a
short-term
rentals,
the
border
is
busted
and
pull
the
permit.
That
means
the
neighborhood
becomes
the
snitches
and
it
only
happened
when
egregious
cases
and
after
lots
of
violation.
C
Finally,
we
all
realize
Airbnb
rentals
have
fallen
in
our
Cove
in
nineteen
world,
but
with
the
ordinance
awarding
a
decade
own
old
decade-long
use.
Permit.
We
want
to
take
the
long
view
here
and
so
the
time
this
right
is
now
councilmember.
Josh
Mandelbaum
made
a
great
statement
in
February.
If
you
want
neighborhoods
be
more
welcoming
to
Airbnb,
you
need
to
give
something
to
help
protect
the
neighborhoods.
We
love
that's
what
I'm
asking
help
us
protect
the
neighborhoods.
We
love
this
ordinance
claims
in
its
first
paragraph,
to
address
the
needs
of
neighborhood.
C
C
C
C
It's
not
just
families
coming
and
going
at
a
short-term
rental
people
arriving
for
parties
or
its
construction
workers
coming
with
large
trucks
and
trailers,
a
block
the
street,
the
City
of
Des
Moines
States.
You
know,
if
you're
after
the
supposed
argument,
but
it
wants
to
address
the
needs
of
residential
neighborhoods
with
these
commercial
centers,
the
curb
quote:
the
preservation
and
improvement
of
the
peace,
safety,
health,
welfare,
comfort
and
convenience
of
its
residents.
I
see
that
sounds
good.
Sadly,
there
isn't.
C
There
is
ordinance
that
does
that
I
live
close
to
an
illegal
short
term
rental
business
and
run
as
a
hotel,
there's
no
owner
or
manager
on
site
as
three
bedrooms,
but
advertises
that
it
please,
and
there
are
two
other
illegal
rentals
and
one
and
a
half
blocks
of
my
home
I
have
included
photos.
It
shows
some
of
the
problems
that
can
occur
at
one
of
these
mini
hotel,
such
as
a
sidewalk,
not
shovel
illegal
garbage
turn
about.
C
It's
a
welcome
way
to
address
density
in
the
neighborhood,
but
when
the
city
decided
to
throw
it
out
the
window
for
90
days
by
granting
amnesty
those
get
their
applications
in
by
August
30th
iris,
the
welders.
This
is
one
of
the
very
few
things
that
would
have
benefited
neighbors,
and
now
that
is
written,
it
could
be
snatched
away,
and
if
these
not
needed
short-term
rental
can
always
ask
for
variance-
and
let
me
speak
about
conditional
use
permit
that
lasts
and
years.
C
C
If
you
go
with
whether
someone
would
get
alone
and
financial
institutions
don't
look
at
this
or
require
it.
A
person
opening
up
a
bed-and-breakfast
or
investing
in
a
long-term
rental
does
not
get
this
kind
of
benefit
from
the
city.
Why
are
short-term
rental
zone
favored
and
neighborhood
so
just
resorted?
C
How
does
this
in
years
affect
the
neighborhood?
Remember
the
city's
that
it
wants
improvement
of
peace,
walker
comfort
and
compete
for
neighborhood
for
a
ten-year
conditional
use.
Permit
is
granted
maybe
fifty
before
their
zoning
board
of
adjustment
and
it's
the
board
grants
and
it
favors
will
have
to
wait
and
years
before
they
can
rest
the
board.
Again
now
some
will
say:
oh
that's
a
bad
friend
Jones.
Then
you
can
go
before
the
board
before
that.
There's
no
definition,
no
specific!
C
Let
us
know
how
bad
it
has
to
get
before
the
Board
of
Adjustment
believe
in
consider
looking
in
and
if
the
neighbors
complained
not
documented
by
the
city,
because
the
city
offices
are
closed
or
the
police
don't
get
there
while
the
violations
taking
place
and
what
I
was
just
improving
at
peace,
welfare,
comfort
and
convenience
of
the
neighborhood.
But
here
is
how
you
can
do
that
that
all
residents
have
a
say
about
whether
went
absent
on
your
standalone
phones
in
a
residential
zone.
C
Neighborhood
Ingersoll
Park
does
want
that
amended
ten
years
on
the
conditional
use
permit
to
two
years
with
a
la
neighborhood
be
out
the
short-term
rental
business
working
in
their
miss
eliminate
the
amnesty
for
the
700
foot
separation.
The
700
foot
density
is
one
of
the
few
regulations
that
protect
neighborhood
residents,
the
more
in
these
neighborhoods,
the
driving
that
can
attract
those
who
want
some
live
here
and
work
here
in
the
10th
neighborhood
do
matter
and
I
hope.
You
will
carefully
consider
how
these
regulations
impact
those
next
by
the
short-term

rental.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
Oh
you
really
look
at
the
pictures.
Ok,
this
is
the
common
occurrence
all
winter.
This
was
the
short-term
rental
and
Airbnb
that's
rented
out
and
was
rented
out
quite
a
lot
and
had
garbage
problems
into
the
sidewalk
people
parked
in
front
of
homes
and
our
street.
That
shows
and
your
legal
parking
somebody
who,
yes,
people,
we're
at
a
short-term
rental
there's
another
garbage
situation.
C
All
of
these
have
been
is
where
it's
in
the
city,
but
I
have
no
idea.
What
is
enough,
it
get
this
it
cleared
and
it's
they
can't
do
it
anymore.
They
put
the
garbage
out
by
the
wrong
day.
They
made
the
garbage
cans
out
for
weeks
at
a
time
they
put
garbage
bags
on
the
curb,
rather
than
its
container,
and
the
garbage
was
oil
all
over.
G
G
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
so
I
live
at
1503
Center
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
Sherman
Hill
Association
Board
of
Directors
I've,
presented
several
times
to
the
council
and
in
furnaces,
do
and
Donovan
expressing
our
neighborhoods
position
and
we've
sent
numerous
letters
to
the
city
as
well
as
I
know.
The
city's
received
numerous
letters
from
individual
residents
as
well.
So
just
a
few
points
of
clarification,
I
think
on
on
Sherman
Hills
position.
G
Our
boards
always
said
we
strongly
support
Airbnb
if
they're
owner-occupied.
We
have
no
concerns
about
owner-occupied
Airbnb
in
Sherman
Hill,
and
to
that
respect
we
see
no
reason
to
put
a
700-foot
limitation
on
owner-occupied
Airbnb.
We
don't
think
that's
necessary
with
respect
to
non-owner
occupied.
We
originally
started
in
position
where
we
didn't.
G
G
As
far
as
multifamily
unit
I
I
think
I'm
generally
supportive
of
what
the
staff
has
recommended
and
we'll
leave
that
up
to
staff
I
think
the
staff
is
addressing
parking
concerns.
I,
don't
know
that
it's
ever
enough.
Potentially,
if
you
have
somebody
bringing
a
ten
people
in
to
a
house
three-bedroom
house,
but
at
least
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
the
biggest
thing
is.
G
You
know
we
don't
feel
you
need
to
handcuff
those
that
are
owner-occupied,
we're
happy
to
have
an
owner
living
in
a
house
and
if
they
need
to
rent
a
room
out
to
pay
the
rent
or
whatnot,
we
don't
think
they
should
necessarily
be
restricted,
and
if
we
have
dozens
of
those
we're
not
really
concerned
about
it.
That's
all
I
have
think.
Okay.
C
C
B
C
Medium
ground
here,
in
that
it
would
provide
an
asset
for
the
owner
of
the
property,
to
make
sure
that
it
run
well
and
also
foreseeable
future
for
neighbors
to
step
up
and
say:
no,
we
don't
we
don't
like
how
this
boy,
it
does
seem
a
little
bit
long
for
the
neighbors,
but
here's
just
a
bit
for
that.
Well,
oh
you
like
five
is
about
a
good
compromise.
G
C
C
C
C
It
does
not
mean
the
board
automatically
will
France
is
really
disapproval.
The
other
issues
that
the
neighbors
can
graze
in
front
floor.
Don't
balance
the
conditions
like
if
they
feel
like
the
neighborhood
doubles.
So
is
it
trouble
or
the
army
doesn't
take
in
Spratley
or
their
barking
or
their
parties
or
whatever
it
is?
Don't
just
raise
in
front
of
the
Board
of
Adjustment
support,
don't
get
to
decide
whether
they
should
you
do
that
use
the
approval.
Based
on
what
the
behavior
of
that
commercial
short
term
rental
has
been.
J
Person
gets
their
application
in
10
minutes
before
the
second
person,
and
the
second
person
has
to
get
the
the
variance
and
that's
pretty
hard
to
manage
for
the
board
and
staff,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
they
get
a
free,
a
free
ride
and
that
they
don't
have
to
meet
the
other.
The
other
requirements,
like
being
a
good
neighbor
for
the
last
year's
off
street
parking
spaces,
one
in
one
in
the
house.
Instead
of
three
units.
There
are
other
things
that
the
board
will
consider
when
they
decide
to
issue
that
use
approval
and
I.
J
J

You're
talking
about
the
multifamily
density,
the
10%
rule.
Yes,
the
there's
there's
a
sort
of
a
worry
and
it's
been
expressed
in
other
communities
but
short
term
commercial.
Rentals
can
drive
up
rental
prices
in
communities,
especially
in
multifamily
units.
So
if
there's
a
cap-
and
you
can
only
do
10%-
that's
a
way
to
cap
driving
up
the
run
prices.

blowing
as
mentioned.
This
is
a
property
that
is
being
proposed
by
Greater
Des
Moines
Habitat
for
Humanity
to
be
build.
You
know,
9y
avenue,
it
will
be
a
one
household
dwelling
unit
and
they
are
proposing
to
build
it
without,
as
you
can
see,
the
location
here,
this
is
generally
south
and
east,
the
intersection
of
MLK
north
and
southbound
with

road
couple
of

I
O
O
Excuse
me
49
parcels
within
the
250
feet.
28
of
these
properties
or
57%
meet
the
classification
of
either
having
a
garage
structure
on
it
or
our
vacant
and
assumed
to
have
the
required
garage
in
the
future
if
they
were
to
be
developed
and
then,
as
you
might
have
noticed,
in
the
photos
of
the
site,
the
property
to
the
west
of
1609
does
have
a
garage
structure
on
it
as
well.
That
actually
exceeds
the
minimum
code
requirement.
O
While
reviewing
the
proposed
house
for
habitat,
we
did.
Staff
was
able
to
grant
a
few
type
1
design
alternatives,
including
a
14.6
reduction
in
the
required
finished
floor
area,
a
reduction
of
the
required
street
tree
in
the
Washington
Avenue
right
away
due
to
overhead
utility
lines
and
a
reduction
of
the
overall
required
story.
Height
of
the
building
staff
does
believe
that
it
is
necessary
to
have
the
required
garage
to
provide
necessary
storage
and
to
provide
the
future
occupants
with
solid
equity.
O
Here
is
the
site
plan
that
we
received
from
Habitat.
You
can
see
the
driveway
what
they're
proposing
on
the
east
side
of
the
property,
the
shaded
areas,
the
proposed
house,
and
then
they
are
proposing
a
shed
in
the
backyard
I
hear
the
elevations
that
they
provided
us
with
just
so
you
get
a
bit
of
context.
It
is
a
one
and
a
half
story
house.
You
can
see
the
two
gables
and
the
porch,
and
then
you
can
see
the
outline
of
the
roof
of
the
half
story
we've
behind
it.
O
We
also
received
a
narrative
from
Habitat
I'll
zoom
in
a
little
bit
as
to
the
reason.
The
rationale
for
their
request
to
build
without
the
garage
I
can
come
back
to
this
if
needed.
They've
also
provided
us
with
a
map
of
their
own
review
of
garages
in
the
neighborhood
they've
gone
further
beyond
the
250
foot
and
I
believe
this
is
in
mister
Hennings
presentation
that
he'll
be
getting
to
later.
So
this
will
be
revisited
and
then
we
did
not
receive
any
cards
back
in
support
or
opposition
of
this
project.
O
N
O
P
P
You
can
go
to
next
slide
on
there,
so
this
would
be
an
example
of
what
the
house
would
look
like.
It
would
be
proposed
that
we've
have
built
this
in
other
places
across
the
community
and
it
will
be
sold
to
a
low-income
family
earning
less
than
60%
of
the
area.
Median
income
I
believe
the
Commission
is
familiar
with
our
program,
just
a
reminder
that
all
the
homebuyers
do
go
through
a
homebuyers
education.
They
do
sweat,
equity
as
part
of
that
and
habitat
provides
an
affordable
mortgage
for
home
buyer
as
part
of
that
next
slide.
P
These
are
the
houses
that
would
be
to
the
left
and
right
or
so
to
the
western
east
of
the
proposed
habitat
home
on
here.
So
those
houses,
one
does
have
a
garage,
one
does
not,
and
the
habitat
house
itself
is
1110
square
feet.
It
is
a
story
and
a
half
three-bedroom,
and
then
it
has
a
partial
basement.
So
the
front
portion
of
the
house
sits
on
a
slab
and
then
it
goes
into
kind
of
a
split
level
and
there's
a
basement
underneath
that
aspect,
though
there
also
straight
across
the
street.
P
We
do
believe
that
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
is
one
that
has
a
few
garages,
so
you
can
go
ahead
into
the
next
slide
and
in
this
here
so
in
that
survey,
so
you
can
see
the
blue
and
the
middle,
and
there
is
the
location
of
the
1600
and
I
washed
in
property
that
we're
talking
about
the
pink
is
roughly
the
250
foot
radius
around
there
and
then
the
orange
would
be
a
broader
context.
So
you
can
see
the
property
itself
is
in
the
heart
of
the
neighborhood.
P
P
So,
just
in
that
250
foot
radius,
that
it
does,
if
you,
if
you
look
at
the
vacant
properties,
then
it
does
get
to
that
57%.
So
the
actual
existence
the
garage
is
around.
There
is
less
than
50%
of
the
existing
garages
on
there
next
slide
you,
the
many
of
the
garages
that
are
in
the
area,
are
in
pretty
shabby
condition
what
they're
able
to
do
on
there
so
that
roughly
across
that
380,
some
houses
that
20%
of
those
garages
were
below
normal
or
condition
within
the
250
foot
radius.
P
30%
of
those
were
low,
normal
or
poor
condition
on
there.
We
do
believe
we
have
adequate
storage.
There
is
the
120
foot
square
foot
shed.
The
basement
is
unfinished,
there's
489
square
feet
of
basement
in
there,
so
there
is
609
square
feet
of
storage
that
is
available
as
part
of
that
aspect.
There
next
slide
me
just
and
where
this
house
plan
plays
out
on
their
so
in
houses,
with
the
same
plan
that
we
have
completed
in
the
last
six
months,
the
appraisals
of
range
from
142
196,000,
depending
on
their
location.
P
So
if
we
put
the
Washington
address
at
the
hundred
and
forty
thousand
value,
we
hope
that
would
be
slightly
above
that
the
average
assessed
value
in
that
two
hundred
fifty
foot
radius
around
there
is
about
fifty
six
thousand
dollars
on
there.
So
if
you
look
at
that,
what
is
proposed
with
no
garage
is
two
and
a
half
times
greater
than
the
average
value
and
the
neighborhood
on
there,
so
adding
additional
amenities
to
this
property.
P
If
this,
if
this
average
neighborhood,
if
the
average
values
were
two
hundred
thousand,
this
would
be
a
similar
to
asking
a
if
the
neighborhood
is
at
two
hundred
thousand
as
an
average
value.
It
would
be
similar
to
asking
for
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
house
to
be
adding
amenities,
so
something
like
extending
out
for
more
garage
space
or
adding
brick
or
some
aspect
down
there.
So
it
is
adding
value
to
the
neighborhood.
It
is
adding
value
to
the
immediate
properties
around
there.
P
It
is
a
benefit
to
the
neighborhood
throughout
there
I'm
just
done
at
one
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollar
appraisal
on
there.
It'll
cost
us
about
a
hundred
and
sixty-five
thousand
to
build
the
home,
and
then
we
will
spend
probably
another
fifty
thousand
dollars
working
with
the
family
on
all
the
aspects
of
bringing
the
family
into
the
program,
working
them
through
the
program
and
getting
them
through
the
purchase
of
the
home
on
their.
So
there
is
some
significant
investment
going
on
all
through
that
aspect
and
the
neighborhood
benefits
through
from
all
that
aspect
on
there.
P
L
I
May
I
ask
a
question
chair,
yes,
Lance
just
to
clarify,
so
your
your
calculations
showed
the
vacant
lots
not
having
garages
and
your
in
your
calculation.
The
code
says
we
have
to
count
those.
So
that
is
part
of
the
reason
for
the
staff
recommendation
of
denial
is
that
our
code
does
require
us
to
count
vacant
lots
as
assumed
to
have
a
garage.
