Planning Commission Minutes - August 25, 2005 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />out onto 147th Street and put the driveway on Lower 147th Street because they felt it would be <br />safer. John Granger said he would not build until one half of the twinhome was sold. <br />There were no other comments and Schumann closed the public hearing. <br />Weidt said he was concerned about the neighborhood and would like the applicant to rethink the <br />plan and situate the twinhome towards 147th Street. <br />Bailly agreed with Weidt. Lower 147th was too narrow and there would not be enough parking <br />spaces. <br />Kleissler said a twinhome did not seem appropriate there and she agreed with the others' <br />comments. <br />Rosenquist asked the CDD if there was any legal reason they could not deny the request. The <br />CDD said they could deny it if it did not meet all the criteria such as compatibility with <br />surrounding character. <br />Hoffbeck said that because of neighborhood response, building the twinhome as is would be <br />difficult and if they denied it, it would be because it did not meet all the criteria. She suggested <br />the applicant consider a single family home on the site. <br />Schumann said the applicant could try to compromise with the neighbors and suggested a <br />neighborhood meeting before it came back to the Planning Commission. <br />Kim Granger asked why the plan was considered to be so different and not consistent with what <br />was already in the neighborhood. She felt it would beautify the neighborhood and said they were <br />only trying to improve on what was there and be consistent with the neighborhood. The <br />applicants indicated they would like to submit a new plan. <br />Schumann said his preference would be to talk with the neighbors since there was room for <br />discussion. . <br />Rosenquist made motion, Kleissler seconded, to recommend denial of the conditional use permit <br />for John and Kim Marie Granger. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Bailly added that if they were going to resubmit something, it would be preferable to see more <br />house than garage on the plan. <br />Adjournment <br />Rosenquist made motion, Kleissler seconded to adjourn at 8:15 p.m. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Michele Lindau, Secretary <br />Planning Commission <br />
