Thank
You
chair
this
is
Laura
Greg
from
the
planning
department.
At
your
last
meeting
you
might
recall
we
had
a
presentation
on
the
lower
Park
and
we
had
a
seee
which
was
dealing
with
closing
all
of
the
streets
in
the
alleys
and
in
that
staff
report
I
referenced,
that
we
had
received
the
certificate
of
approval
application
for
the
park
and
that
there
is
an
issue
that
they're
going
to
need,
a
variance
from
which
is
the
maximum
block
length,
which
is
a
regulation
in
scenic
river.
E
And
so
what
we're
looking
at
today
is
the
CA
for
the
park
and
the
only
issue
that
I
really
have
her
discussion
is
the
fact
that
we
have
a
regulation
against
having
a
block
length
more
than
650
feet,
and
that
is
contained
in
the
scenic
rivers
regulation.
This
is
also
zoned
BBB
and
DTD
2,
which
is
the
downtown
Design
District.
E
We
I
also
acknowledge.
There
is
no
way
to
build
a
park
of
this
size
without
extending
the
block
links
and
so
for
those
reasons,
staff
is
totally
supportive
of
this
proposal
and
totally
supportive
of
the
variance
needed
to
build
the
lower
Park,
and
so
in
the
staff
recommendation.
We
have
two
motions:
you're
going
to
need
them
separately.
F
This
is
Hans
Blitzer,
architect
of
the
buildings
of
lower
of
the
lower
Park
of
scissortail
Park.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
the
team
I
just
wanted
to.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
the
recommendation.
Laura,
as
Laura
mentioned,
it
is
impossible
to
construct
a
park
of
this
important
civic
importance
without
extending
the
beyond
that
block
length,
minimum
or
maximum
I
should
say
and
again
to
consistent
with
Laura's
comments
with
staffs
feedback.
F
B
C
Mr.
Dana
Templeton
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
epicly
application
on
the
basis
that
the
project
complies
with
the
regulations
and
guidelines
of
the
scenic
river
overlay
design.
District
zoning
ordinance
has
referenced
in
Section,
C
and
D
of
the
staff
report,
with
the
condition
that
the
applicant
shall
obtain
a
variance
from
the
Board
of
Adjustment
for
the
maximum
block
length.
E
C
E
B
E
E
E
E
F
E
E
E
You
don't
see
single-family
residential,
because
it's
exempt
in
SRO
didi.
However,
the
zoning
of
this
property
is
DTD.
Two
and
DTD
two
does
require
certificate
of
approval
for
a
house
in
this
particular
case.
They
need
a
variance,
which
is
why
it's
come
before
you
and
the
variance
is
for
this.
Maximum
setback,
so
in
dt
d
to
the
maximum
setback
is
ten
feet
from
the
street
frontage.
E
This
excuse
me,
the
property
line
at
the
street.
This
house
is
being
built
in
a
traditional
neighbor
on
the
screen.
That's
up
now
that
Cameron
is
showing
the
lower
right
hand
corner
are
the
two
houses
that
are
on
the
east
side
of
this
vacant
lot
and
those
houses
were
built
in
the
early
20s.
The
porches
are
set
back
at
about
20
feet
and
the
houses
the
front
wall
of
the
house
is
at
25
feet
and
the
upper-left
picture.
E
Those
are
houses
that
are
across
the
street,
there's
five
or
six,
and
they
were
all
built
in
the
early
2000.
Once
again,
the
porches
are
right
out
about
20
feet
and
the
front
wall
of
the
houses
there
at
25
feet,
because
25
feet
is
pretty
much.
The
standard
setback
for
single-family
residential
zoning
districts
in
the
city,
so
the
applicant
has
submitted
a
proposal.
E
E
It
talks
about
infill
and
redevelopment
that
occurs
within
existing
neighborhoods
in
the
district
should
be
compatible
with
the
established
character
and
development
pattern
of
the
neighborhood
in
terms
of
height
scale,
massing
density
and
the
next
one
is
what
I
feel
is
real
important
is
setbacks,
so
that
is
just
a
guideline
and
so
I
discussed
in
the
staff
report.
The
fact
that
if
this
subdivision
started
back
in
the
early
1900s
and
you
have
houses,
there's
been
a
lot
of
demolitions,
but
there's
still
some
houses
and
and
most
of
them
are
all
setback
at
25
feet.
E
E
The
first
one
deals
with
staff
recommends
approval
of
the
application,
with
the
condition
that
the
applicant
obtains
variances
from
the
Board
of
Adjustment,
from
the
requirement
that
the
first
two
floors
of
a
new
construction
be
placed
at
or
within
10
foot
of
the
street
right-of-way,
and
that
is
for
both
the
house
and
the
detached
garage
and
I'll
I'll
jump
to
the
screen
right
now,
which
is
the
site
plan.
So
you
can
see
the
porch
is
at
20.
E
The
front
wall
of
the
house
is
at
28
and
then
the
garage
is
at
108
but
nine
inches
and
then
the
second
motion
would
be
to
provide
a
recommendation
of
approval
to
the
Board
of
Adjustment,
for
variance
from
the
requirement
that
the
first
two
floors
of
new
construction
be
placed
at
or
within
10
foot
of
the
street
right
away,
and
that's
for
both
the
house
in
the
detached
garage
and
the
Board
of
Adjustment.
Application
for
this
project
is
on
the
agenda
this
afternoon
for
the
Board
of
Adjustment
and
the
owner.
C
I
Well
necessarily
a
whole
lot
to
say
other
than
thank
you
guys
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
And
we
we
in
fully
intend
on
building
a
home
and
living
there
for
the
next
20
years
and
being
a
part
of
the
community
and
would
just
like
to
our
house
to
blend
in
as
much
as
possible
and
I
think
if
they
start
with
just
aligning
with
the
rest
of
the
homes
in
the
neighborhood
and
we're
looking
forward
to
get
started
on.
This.
C
E
Older,
what
else
the
two
houses
to
the
west
yeah,
which
is
the
lower
right
corner
that
were
built
in
the
early
20s
Cameron?
If
you
could
back
up
one
one
or
two
more
slides,
possibly
because
I
actually
have
I'm,
not
sure
how
the
PowerPoint
works
on
this
one.
One
more
slide
back.
I
acts
right
there
so
that
red
line
that
I've
got
in
the
trees
is
the
20-foot
line
in
that
stake.
E
A
B
E
A
Is
John
pasta
I'd
like
to
provide
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
provide
a
recommendation
of
approval
to
the
Board
of
Adjustment,
for
variance
from
the
requirement
of
the
first
two
floors
of
new
construction
be
placed
at
or
within
10
feet
of
the
street
right-of-way
both
for
the
house
and
the
detached
garage?
Okay,
thank.
B
B
E
Who's
Laura
Griggs
planning
department,
for
most
of
you,
you
probably
remember.
Last
year
in
August,
we
had
a
rezoning
to
a
simplified
Planned
Unit
development,
a
spud
for
a
glamping
proposal
with
Airstream
trailers
on
the
adjacent
property,
and
at
that
time
the
committee
recommended
approval
with
some
conditions
and
one
of
those
work
conditions
dealt
with
addressing
the
alley
because
they
were
showing
an
encroachment
in
the
alley,
was
part
of
their
development,
and
so
the
conditions
specifically
was
appropriate.
E
So
if
you
went
out
there,
you
couldn't
even
tell
well
where
it's
supposed
to
be,
but
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
this
and
it's
about
300
foot,
long
stretch
and
I
believe
it's
only
ten
foot
wide,
unlike
most
of
our
alleys,
that
we
typically
have
or
20
foot
life.
So
you
really
can't
do
much
with
a
10-foot
wide
alley.
The
engineer
for
the
project,
mr.
Grubbs,
is
on
the
call.
So
he
can
answer
any
questions
or
if
you
have
any
questions
for
staff.
B
C
E
B
C
D
E
E
I
will
start
with
saying
this
is
Laura.
You
do
have
a
meeting
next
month,
so
we're
getting
good
at
this
and
we'll
probably
be
even
better
next
month,
so
make
sure
you
mark
it
on
your
calendar.
I
was
looking
to
see
if
katie
is
still
on
the
call.
Yes
I'm
here,
Laura
I'm,
were
you
going
to
speak?
Yes,.
J
And
the
other
thing
that
we've
been
sharing
with
everyone
at
committee
meetings
on
a
couple
of
weeks
is
that
the
City
Council
is
reviewing
an
ordinance
amendment
to
chapter
62,
revised
fees
for
HP
and
design
districts,
so
that
will
go
back
to
City
Council
on
June,
9th
and
I
believe
June
60.
But
we'll
send
you
a
link
to
the
ordinance
and
information
about
when
that
will
be
heard
by
City
Council,
and
these
are
fees
that
haven't
been
revised
in
and
a
minimum
10
years
or
for
the
district.
