Planning Commission Meeting Minutes July 19, 2005 Page 4 1 Chair Stromgren noted that there is also a duplex located in that area that is zoned R2. 2 3 Ms. Moore-Sykes confirmed stating that the owner admitted to using the structure as an R1 4 Single-Family unit but that it was originally zoned as R2. 5 6 Chair Stromgren suggested forgoing the Concept Review. 7 8 Commissioner Young stated that she was hoping to see some form of proposal and hear an 9 explanation of the applicants' intentions. She noted that the intent is to build something that 10 resembles a single-family home noting that the residential buildings adjacent to this property are 11 all R1 adding that she has very strong feelings about the request based on the fact that this is an 12 R1 community. She noted that the R4 across the street and the ROS don't read as well in an area 13 like this and it is something that should be considered. 14 15 Chair Stromgren stated that with the information already received his concern is what would be 16 included for next month. He stated that he believes the Concept Review could be done at the 17 public hearing level if the applicant can provide detailed plans. 18 19 Commissioner Jensen stated that they are in favor of the R3 noting that it would be compatible 20 because this corner and the size of the structure could relate quite well depending on how it is 21 designed and if the access issues are addressed. He agreed that it would be good to review a 22 detailed site plan. 23 24 Commissioner Galyon agreed stating that he too is in favor of reviewing a detailed site plan. He 25 asked what kind of communication is put out to the residents of the area asking for their input on 26 the issues. He asked if the applicant or the City is responsible for collecting the feedback from 27 residents in the area. 28 29 Ms. Moore-Sykes explained that letters outlining the proposal are sent to all residents within 30 350-feet of the property. She further explained that the letters would explain what is happening 31 with the lot and clarify the proposal noting that the letter is their invitation to attend the public 32 hearing. 33 34 Commissioner Galyon stated that it would be in the best interest of the applicant to do due 35 diligence and visit with the residents of the area to make sure that what they are planning is not 36 upsetting anyone. 37 38 Motion by Commissioner Galyon, second by Commissioner Jensen, to recommend continuance 39 of the Concept Review for the proposed R1 to R2 Rezoning Request for 3645 Chelmsord Road, 40 NE to the first Planning Commission meeting in August 2005. 41 42 Motion carried unanimously 43
