MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION FEBRUARY 12, 2009 Hall asked if the Galvin's have considered this proposal with only three young women. Bill Galvin replied that the numbers do not work, again noting that there would still have to be one staff person on duty whether there are three or four people living in the home. Bill Galvin reported that the parents would have quarterly meetings at the house. He reported that all snow removal and exterior upkeep would be contracted out. Capital funding will be established for major improvements needed on the house. Galvin felt that the turn-over in the home is a legitimate concern, but noted that they will be doing resident screening and are looking for long-term residents. Galvin also noted that his daughter does not wander. She does ride her bike up and down the street and knows the neighbors close to them. He noted that the neighbors are very protective of his daughter. Galvin again noted that they are looking for young women of a similar developmental capabilities as their daughter. Hoium suggested that once the home is in operation, that an open house be held so that the neighbors can meet the young women and staff Galvin felt that was a good idea. Duray asked if the Building Official would be inspecting the premises prior to occupancy. The City Planner stated that that would be done. Knudsen stated that he supported the proposal, and felt that the intent of limiting family size to three umelated people was due to traffic concerns and intensity of use in asingle-family neighborhood. Knudsen stated that he hoped the proposal worked out for the Calvin's and other families whose daughters will be living in the home. Pechmann recommended approval of the Appeal from the Zoning Code definition which limits single family size to no more than three unrelated individuals in order to allow the occupancy of 882 Westwind Drive by four umelated individuals as requested by William and Renee Galvin subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his report dated February 5, 2009. Motion seconded by Hall. Motion carried 6 - 0. REVOCATION The City Planner reported that due to concerns raised by City staff OF PUD relative to the lack of Code compliance at 2905 County Drive, Temo PERMITS Sunrooms, it was felt that consideration should be given to the FOR revocation of the PUD Permits for outdoor storage.
