Any lighting in the park area must meet City requirements. 15. There must be a shared driveway easement to allow the new lot to use the existing driveway on Ash St. This easement must be recorded with the final plat. Mr. Tralle inquired about the garage and asked if a two -stall garage would be an issue. Mr. Smyser replied the residents would not be driving, so they would not have cars. He believed there would be sufficient garage space. Mr. Tralle expressed concern about the insufficient garage space in the event this duplex was ever converted to two single - family homes. Mr. Smyser replied if this ever occurred this could be addressed at that time and the garage could be expanded if necessary. Mr. Root asked about the radius of the street. Mr. Studenski replied the design made it less than a 30 mph road, and that would be posted. He noted this was not out of the ordinary. Mr. Hyden asked if they should be concerned that they were asking for an amended Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Smyser replied he did not believe this would be a concern. Vice Chair Rafferty invited public to make comment. Erin Mielke, 165 Ash, asked what was going to be the dimension of the duplex. Mr. Smyser replied he did not have a floor plan, but applicant should be able to answer this. Ms. Mielke stated she was concerned about the lighting of the parking lot. Mr. Smyser replied they did not have any plan for the lighting right now. However, there were very specific limitations on lighting and they would have to meet those requirements, if lighting was proposed. Ms. Mielke stated the duplex as directly behind her house and while there were trees there, they were tall trees and she asked if smaller trees could also be put in. Vice Chair Rafferty replied they would ask the applicant if they would be willing to do that. Vice Chair Rafferty invited the public to make comment. DRAFT MINUTES
