CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING Commissioner comments included the use of the word 'generally' in the PUD requirements as being too vague, wording for building height restrictions - "height should be measured from any point to existing grade directly below set point and at no point can it exceed 35 feet." The terms of "may" and "generally" need to be focused on whether there is flexibility. Utility availability for up zoned structures was discussed along with clarification to the building height diagram. Revisionto tt-ie- "Acknowledgements" in the Design Guidelines was encouraged. Commissioner Savage motioned for continued discussion at the next meeting, with Commissioner Smith seconding and all were in favor. IX.

Mark Pribramsky. Description: The Final Design for this project was approved at your February 4tn 1997 meeting. The duplex units are each approximately 1,836 square feet in size. The applicant is propos.ig to remove the existing 6'x14' deck on Unit A and replace it with a larger 12'x3' deck, make minor stucco repairs, facia repairs. repairs to the flashings and attic vents, install gutters and downspouts, ana repaint both duplex units. Ken Kovalchik presented the staff report. Colors were distributed for Commission review and guidance. Questions were asked regarding the original (1997) landscape plan and the existing plan. Irrigation requirements were the primary focus of staff. The current owner stated that not much of the original landscaping plan still existed on the property. Commissioner review included discussion of colors, a color to break up the massing, color scheme to be used, what type of gutter and its coloring, and fascia color. The current landscaping of the lot was a focus, but, since the owner was not the original owner, it was deemed unfair to force him to fix an issue especially as the project was issued a Certificate of Occupancy. Commissioner Trueblood moved to approve the Application for the deck only, and tabling of painting and landscaping for additional information. Commissioner Didier seconded with all in favor.
