Ayes – 7 Nays – 0 Motion carried. _____________________________________________________________________________ 5. Planning Case VR02-001 Planner Atkinson explained that this case is a request for a variance from the minimum parking requirements for a 20 unit housing facility. City Code requires 1 ½ spaces per unit plus one garage stall per unit for a total of 50 spaces, 20 of those being garage stalls. Planner Atkinson reviewed the changes made to the Resolution based on comments made at the previous Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Zwirn suggested continuing the sidewalk at the head of the parking spaces to make it more practical for adding the additional parking in the future. Mr. Bjerkesett indicated that if the parking is added the sidewalk would be continued as well. Commissioner Johnson questioned whether it would be in the City’s best interest to require escrow funds up front to ensure that the parking lot addition could be completed if needed. Chair Stevenson asked the approximate cost to add the additional parking spaces if required. Mr. Bjerkesett approximated the costs to be between $5,000 and $7,000 dollars. He then reminded the Commission that the building he currently operates has 25% more units and the same number of parking stalls and there has never been an issue with parking. Planner Atkinson explained that the City licenses multifamily facilities and the City could use that as leverage to ensure that the additional parking is added if needed. It was the consent of the Commission that since the City has the licensing leverage there was no need to require escrow funds. Commissioner Miller asked if Mr. Bjerkesett had reached an agreement for overflow parking behind Silver View Plaza. Mr. Bjerkesett indicated he had not but could look into doing so.

Planning Case DE02-003 Planner Atkinson explained this is a development review to construct a Six-Unit Townhouse Development located on Silver Lake Road, south of Silver View Apartments. He further explained that eventually the complex would contain two six-plexes, which would require a minor subdivision and rezoning. Planner Atkinson briefly reviewed the Code requirements for the proposed development and noted all requirements are met with this proposal. Chair Stevenson asked whether there would be park dedication fees with the subdivision. Planner Atkinson indicated that there would be and said the minor subdivision and rezoning would be discussed at the next meeting. Commissioner Zwirn asked if there were any plans with the development of Silver Lake Road for drainage that may impact this property in the future. Planner Atkinson said not at this time. MOTION/SECOND: Johnson/Miller. To Approve Resolution 695-02, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Development Review to Construct a Six-Unit Townhouse Development Located on Silver Lake Road, South of the Silver View Apartments. Ayes – 7 Nays – 0 Motion carried. ____________________________________________________________________________ 7.
