Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes April 15, 2025 Page 5 1 Chair Socha re-opened the public hearing at 7:12 p.m. 2 3 Mr. Grittman noted a comment was received via email from Kevin Landware, representing the 4 ownership of the parcel, and read the email in detail. 5 6 Mr. Dave TeBrake, Architect, stated Staff did a great job of explaining all the changes. All 7 suggestions were incorporated into the changes, and they have no objections to the City Engineer’s 8 recommendations. Commissioner Morita asked if he had any concerns about the stormwater revisions 9 and Mr. TeBrake stated there are no concerns. 10 11 Ms. Kelly Maxwell, resident of St. Anthony Townhomes, stated she was concerned with the amended 12 plan asking for a third variance. She sees no other compromise on the applicant’s part regarding 13 occupancy number or building size. She is concerned that a third variance is being requested. She 14 asked why the building is facing the north side rather than the south side. 15 16 Chair Socha closed the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. 17 18 Commissioner Erickson commented that after last month’s meeting, he drove past the site and was 19 struck by the size of the site. In looking at the site now, it is slightly larger than the site to the south 20 (19-unit apartment building). He appreciates the work the applicant did to accommodate some of the 21 concerns expressed. In his opinion, the parking issue has been solved. Some design features of the 22 building have also been improved. Ms. Maxwell’s point about how the building faces is interesting. 23 24 Commissioner Socha re-opened the public hearing at 7:22 p.m. 25 26 Mr. TeBrake stated the big reason is because of the stormwater inlet coming from the townhome 27 property. There was no other option for placing the building. 28 29 Commissioner Socha closed the public hearing at 7:22 p.m. 30 31 Commissioner Morita thanked the applicant for listening and adjusting to suggestions made. He is 32 hopeful the parking needs are being met. He is relieved by the information Staff researched on 33 parking needs. 34 35 Commissioner Anderson asked about sustainability features but doesn’t see it as a condition for 36 approval. Mr. Grittman stated that would be included in the stormwater conditions. 37 38 Chair Socha noted that in the conditions, it is listed the City Engineer approves the required final 39 design of the stormwater and other plans. Chair Socha asked if there are concerns there will be 40 additional needs other than those outlined in the April 3 memo. Mr. Grittman stated they are 41 reasonably sure that the April 3 memo includes all, but if extraordinary measures that would impact 42 the plan or approval, Staff would need to come back with an amendment to the Planning 43 Commission’s review. Chair Socha asked if condition #8 would need to be amended. She is nervous 44 the condition refers to the April 3 memo. Mr. Grittman stated the City Engineer will need to approve 45 the final design, which has not yet been completed. 46
