OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Jessica Turcott, 7624 Schletty, commented on the plans that have been updated for the Villas at Gervais Lake. She stated that when a variance is requested the variance should most impact those requesting the variances. She stated that the 30-foot yard setback impacts the existing residents the most and would prefer to see the variance to the front yards. She explained that would then most impact the people purchasing the homes and not the existing residents. The Community Development Director stated that application has gone through the watershed and will go forward to the City Council for a public hearing on the preliminary plat on November 30th. Ms. Turcott commented that the plat shown on the website is substantially different than the plat that was reviewed by the Planning Commission and asked if that would come back to the Commission.
