Glushko: Summarized the request and provided information on the surrounding zoning. Presented
information on the exhibits submitted by the applicant. Stated staff has received one public hearing reply
form, not in opposition to the zoning change. Noted that even though the applicant amended the exhibit
to provide for four (4) lots a minimum of 15,000 square feet, staff is recommending denial due to non-
conformance with the Future Land Use Plan which recommends lot sizes between 15,000 square feet to

1+ acre (the remaining fourteen lots will range in size from 12,500 square feet to 13,188 square feet).
The proposed exhibit will yield a density of 1.9 units/acre. The Future Land Use Plan recommends a
maximum density of 1.6 units/acre.
Public Hearing opened by Chair McClung.
Rob Baldwin (applicant): Noted that per direction of the Commission, he re-evaluated the proposal to
determine where the size of the lots could be increased. He noted that four (4) of the eighteen (18) lots
were revised to be in excess of 15,000 square feet; those lots being Block A, Lots 12-14 and Block B, Lot
8. He indicated that the Comprehensive Plan is a guide for development, and he believes the proposal
meets the intent of the Plan. He also noted the Planned Development would establish enhanced standards
as noted in Exhibit C and indicated that even though the PD will require a minimum house size of 2,500
square feet, the houses will probably be 4,000 square feet. He requested approval of the application.
There being no other speakers, the Public Hearing was closed by Chair McClung.
Commission Discussion. Several of the Commissioners thanked Mr. Baldwin for increasing the size of
the lots. The members indicated that even though the entirety of the development did not meet the
minimum requirement for 15,000 square foot lots, improvements had been made to the exhibit in terms of
lot size in addition to the enhanced development standards. Several members indicated the request was
appropriate. Commissioner Snyder indicated that he believed the request did not warrant a deviation from
the Future Land Use Plan.
Motioned by Keith, seconded by Moody to approve the request as submitted. Motion approved 4-1
(Snyder opposed).
5. Comprehensive Plan Implementation Action Items.
Webb: Summarized the current list of the Comprehensive Plan Implementation Action items. He noted
that per direction of the Council and as discussed at the recent Joint Work Session, staff was working on a
draft of amendments to various residential design and development standards. He noted the Council was
provided an overview of the list of topics at the December 9"' Town Council meeting. He indicated staff
would provide the Council and Commission the opportunity to review the recommended amendments
prior to consideration at a future public hearing.
