Lot 67/68, Block 1, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Project Type: Material Modification Applicant: Beck Roofing Address: 0040 Nottingham Road Motion: Commissioner Fehlner moved to approve the Consent Agenda as amended; Commissioner Dantas seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Public Hearing A. Lot 6, Wildridge Acres - Rewold Residence Project Type: Variance for Building Addition Outside Building Envelope Property Owner/Applicant: Burt Rewold Address: 2803 Shepherd Ridge The applicant requested a setback variance to allow an addition to extend beyond the established building footprint. The home is located in Wildridge Acres, which was approved in 1990 as a PUD separate from the Wildridge PUD. The PUD has established building footprints for each lot in lieu of standard setbacks. The variance request is to allow a garage and patio addition to extend beyond the building envelope in a small triangular area that is two feet at its base and seven feet long. This addition includes a one -foot roof overhang; which accounts for most of the encroachment. The addition is being proposed to correct a drainage problem that was created when the house was constructed. The basement extends beyond the walls of the ground level of the home, allowing water to drain into this area and damage the structure. The addition would cover the basement and eliminate the drainage problem. The addition is being reviewed as a modification to the final design approval under separate Commission action. Motion: Commissioner Dantas moved to approve Resolution 98-6 granting a setback variance for a garage and patio addition as described in the application and materials submitted July 31, 1998; Commissioner Fehlner seconded. The motion passed unanimously VI. Old Business A. The Village at Avon Project Type: Annexation and Mixed -Use PUD Property Owner: EMD, LLP. Applicant: Peter Jamar Associates, Inc. (This project was reviewed at the August 18, 1998 meeting. After presentations by Town staff and by the applicant, the Commission conducted a public hearing, discussed the application, and tabled further action until the September 1, 1998 meeting.) Posted on August 28,1998, at the following public places within the Town of Avon: • Avon Recreation Center, main lobby • Avon Municipal Building, main lobby • City Market, main lobby Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda ` Page 4 of 14. September 1, 1998 Mike Matzko summarized the staff report dated August 28, 1998, and outlined some of the changes that have taken place with the project. Commercial space was reduced by 20%. Affordable housing was increased by 25%. The proposed full -diamond I-70 Interchange will be constructed 4 % years from now. East Beaver Creek Boulevard will be extended at the project's cost. The Village at Avon developer will contribute $100,000 to the extension of Chapel Place, and $1,000,000 to the Town toward the cost of roundabout construction. Four acres will be donated for Town facilities such as police, fire and public works.. Lock -off units were deleted as an allowed use. Public and semi-public uses are now limited to 200,000 square feet. The applicant has agreed to create an emergency access extension of Swift Gulch Road, consisting of a paved 12 -foot wide trail. Building setbacks from the I-70 and Railroad right-of-ways have been added to the PUD Guide. More complete standards for setbacks, minimum lot sizes and minimum landscape coverage were added, as were a revised and more complete definition of "Dwelling Unit" and a definition for "Extended Stay Hotel," to address accommodation units such as "Residence Inns". Mr. Matzko then reviewed the Town's Comprehensive Plan that was adopted in 1996. He then went on to show that The Village at Avon generally conforms to the Comprehensive Plan. Peter Jamar, representing the applicant, reviewed Staffs' recommended conditions. 1. The final Design Review Guide, once completed by the applicant, must be submitted to the Town for review and approval prior to its final adoption by the Village Design Review Board. (Agreement) 2. The language in the PUD Guide, Section A, subsection 5, that reads "...application of such Municipal Code provision shall not directly or indirectly have the effect of altering, impairing, preventing, diminishing, imposing a moratorium on development, delaying, or otherwise adversely affecting any of Owner's vested property rights set forth in the Development Plan or the Annexation and Development Agreement," should be amended to read "...application of such Municipal Code provision shall not directly or indirectly have the effect of unreasonably affecting any of Owner's vested property rights set forth in the Development Plan or the Annexation and Development Agreement." All similar statements in the PUD Guide, Annexation Agreement and other documents adopted as part of the approval of this project should likewise be amended. Bill Post, attorney and manager of EMD, suggested that the words "materially and adversely" be substituted for "unreasonably. (Agreement) 3. The applicant should immediately initiate the approval and design process for the extension of Swift Gulch Road to the proposed interchange, and proceed to completion at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Jamar said their concern was that the frontage road would detract from the neighborhood, and that a road running through the 30 acre park and Nottingham Creek area was not the best idea. He said they are proposing a wide paved bike path, which would be less disruptive to the park and residential areas that would provide a pedestrian and bicycle link, while allowing for emergency vehicle acess). 4. The applicant will enter into a master housing agreement with the Town, which will reflect at a minimum the Town's adopted limits and policies regarding pricing, appreciation, capital allowances and real estate transaction fees. (Mr. Jamar said he would like to see a standard 5% appreciation cap that we currently have in Eagle County.) 5. The PUD Guide, Supplemental Regulations, Subsection I-5, should be amended to read: "5. Design and Improvement Standards Posted on August 28, 1998, at the following public places within the Town of Avon: • Avon Recreation Center, main lobby • Avon Municipal Building, main lobby • City Market, main lobby Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Page 5 of 14, September 1, 1998 Development within the Village (at Avon) shall comply with the Design and Improvement Standards contained within Section 16.40 of the Avon Municipal Code in effect on June 1, 1998, with the following modifications: (a) Roadway standard modifications for public and private roads located north of Interstate Highway 70: i. Cul-de-sac serving more than 250 residential units — maximum length 0.3 miles, constructed to collector street standards. ii. Cul-de-sac serving 60 to 250 residential units — maximum length 2.5 miles constructed to local street standards. iii. Cul-de-sac serving fewer than 60 residential units — private only: Minimum driving surface width — 22 feet Minimum shoulder width —1 foot Design speed — 25 MPH Maximum grade — 10% Minimum Sight Distance — 150 feet (b) Curb, gutter and an equivalent width sidewalk may be installed in lieu of required shoulders. (c) Variances from Town of Avon Design and Improvement Standards in Section 16.40 of the Avon Municipal Code will be considered on a case by case basis at the Preliminary Plan review stage as sufficient details are provided to fully evaluate the impacts of the proposed variances." (Mr. Jamar said engineers are getting together to work out the fine details. He said this would be similar to Mountain Star standards.) 6. Construction of all residential structures in the areas north of I-70 shall include installation of appropriate fire sprinkler systems. (Agreement) 7. Lots 1 and 5 and associated infrastructure, including the access road should be deleted from the development plan, and the area designated as Open Space. (Mr. Jamar said they are willing to delete lots 1 and 5 because they are close to the deer migration corridor. They are not willing to delete lots 2 —4.) 8. The following uses within Planning Area OS -10 should be reclassified from "Allowed Use" to "Special Review Use:" (iii) Lakes, ponds, reservoirs and irrigation ditches; (iv) Park and picnic facilities and related parking; (v) Public or private roads and utilities including but not limited to utility improvements, lines and mains, facilities, services and buildings. (Agreement) 9. Land dedication for the school site should conform to the Town's requirements in Title 16 of the Avon Municipal Code. (Mr. Jamar said they will increase the school site to 8.3 acres as requested by the school district.) 10. The applicant should provide, for Town review and approval, a phasing plan for park improvements, including the Regional Park, linear park, and pocket parks. (Mr. Jamar said they have agreed to provide a phasing plan for park improvements including the regional park, linear park, and pocket parks. He said they would begin construction of the first phase of the regional park along with the Posted on August 28,1998, at the following public places within the Town of Avon: • Avon Recreation Center, main lobby • Avon Municipal Building, main lobby • City Market, main lobby Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Page 6 of 14, September 1, 1998 early phases of the residential construction. He said they would start to develop the linear park and trail system and various pocket parks in conjunction with development adjacent to those areas. This would be part of the subdivision improvement agreements at the time of final plat for those facilities. The trailhead in axis to the forest service land would be constructed with the first development. 11. Parks, recreation, and trails facilities should be open to the public, in accordance with Town regulations. (Agreement) 12. The PUD Guide should include proportions of commercial square footage and residential density allowed within each planning area. (Mr. Jamar referred to a single page document that he had given to staff and distributed to the Commission. Mr. Matzko replied that the document appeared to be a reasonable approach, and would review the matter with staff before the project goes to Town Council. 13. The PUD Guide should reflect the Urban Land Institute (ULI) definition in "Dimensions of Parking" Third Edition, Appendix C. (Mr. Jamar asked for comments from the Commission and Council regarding the term "usable floor area", and said that the applicant did not concur with this definition) 14. Density calculations (number of units/area of parcel) should exclude areas with slopes > 40%. (Mr. Jamar said they are willing to do this) Mr. Jamar said that they discussed Forest Service lands access with the Eagle County regional transportation authority, and that they (the Authority) were pleased that the applicant is providing the public trailhead adjacent to RMF -2 right across from the pedestrian bridge over I-70, which will allow access for Eaglebend and EagleVail residents to hike up into the forest where that access does not exist today. Mr. Jamar said that they also agreed to a trail coming down the eastern end of the property between the lower and upper radio tower. There is a old road that comes down through the property and continues East to West and the applicant has agreed to route this through parcel M. This will need the cooperation of the Forest Service, but there are some old roads and irrigation ditches that pass through that property, connect to the proposed trail system from Swift Gulch, goes over and across through the park, then goes into Vail. Regarding staff condition # 1,Bill Post said he wanted to make sure that the Commission would not unreasonably withhold their consent to the project's Design Guidelines; and, regarding staff condition # 11, to make sure that the public cannot use amenities such as swimming pools or tennis courts that condominium associations (privately financed) put in; and that all trail systems will be subject to closures of the Department of Wildlife closures. Public Comment: (The chair asked if anyone in the audience had comments that the Commission had not yet considered) Cynthia Atwood said she is generally supportive of the project but now is the time to do the proper planning. Page 38 of the Comprehensive Plan says the eastern portion of the planning area known as the Stolport and Nottingham Ranch parcels are large enough to allow a variety of land uses to occur given to proper planning, actual delineation of open space areas will occur at the time of annexation. She said someone must go beyond the comprehensive maps and actually delineate open space and other land boundaries. The comprehensive plan continues on to provide guidelines for zoning saying that flexible zoning such as plan unit development should be Posted on August 28, 1998, at the following public places within the Town of Avon: • Avon Recreation Center, main lobby • Avon Municipal Building, main lobby • City Market, main lobby Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Page 7 of 14, September 1, 1998 encouraged where it results in more effective use of the land. However such flexible zoning will only be allowed where it provides a benefit to the community and where it is compatible with surrounding development. Variations from standard zoning must be clearly demonstrated and will be permitted only as needed to achieve effective development. Ms. Atwood said that historically a PUD is used where more than one developer is being encouraged to communicate with each other so they can spare financial constraints and burdens and also encourage dialogue between two interested parties. In this case it is being used to allow a developer to create his own rules. The zoning that is recommended suggests a master planning process that requires individual planning of these parcels beyond this 1000 - scale that we see here Commissioner Evans said the plan does show delineation of open space. Ms. Atwood said in terms of delineation of open space and areas suitable for development is nearly a fly -by account of the general topography and is then broken down into sub areas based of geology, landscape, wildlife, habitat, and slopes steeper than 40%. This is all done in an aerial map basis, with general areas of suitable development being shaded with no clear boundaries. She said that actual delineation would show property lines, possible easements and setbacks. She said it is the Planning & Zonings Commission's best interest that further analysis be demonstrated at this time to allow development in this area. She suggested that there needs to be more than a causal speculation as to the definition of the boundaries of open space. Mr. Matzko said in many ways this looks like a conceptual plan, but when looking at the maps you see a slope anayalisis, concept trail plan, wildlife hazard areas, geologic hazards evaluations, overall vegetation and a land use plan. Cynthia Atwood said that not a lot of time is being taken to consider this annexation. The conceptual nature of these plans normally takes about 6 years of process and you are doing this in about 2 months time. Mr. Matzko said the plans are conceptual but they represent a lot of the work that it takes before you can get to the point where you can decide where you are going to build a building. Cynthia Atwood said the Comprehensive Plan was made to protect the staff, board and the public from rushing through the through process. Chairperson Evans read, "actual delineation of open space areas will occur at times of annexation", from the Town's Comprehensive Plan on page 38. Mr. Evans said the Comp. Plan does not define what the actual delineation will be, but that the staff is followed the framework. Chris Newswanger said the Colorado Public Interest Research Group (CoPIRG) has added this project to its top ten "sprawl of shame" list. He said the interchange in Eagle -Vail will not solve the traffic problems there. Posted on August 28, 1998, at the following public places within the Town of Avon: • Avon Recreation Center, main lobby • Avon Municipal Building, main lobby • City Market, main lobby Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda September 1, 1998 Page 8 of 14 Larry Kilstrup, a business owner in Avon and Eagle -Vail resident, said at this conceptual level there needs to be some firmly delineated base plans. He commended the staff for getting the Swift Gulch road extended and said he would like to see it extended all the way to Highway 6. Commissioner Railton said she would like to see no dogs allowed in the proposed Village. She said the appreciation cap for affordable housing should be same as Eagle County, 5 %. Lots 1 and 5 should be done away with and the lots on the West Side of the creek should not extend to the East Side. It is essential to keep this side open for the wildlife. She asked what the plans were for the underpass off Highway 6. She said she would like to see more detail regarding the heights and setbacks of the buildings on the lots by I-70. She asked if the 4 acres that is to be set aside is enough to accommodate the Town offices that will be needed at that stage. Commissioner Dantas said he is not sure how the financing is working. He said putting in the Swift Gulch road is imperative, as this would allow people to access The Village without going into the Town of Avon. He said the interchange needs to be built right away. He also expressed concern that the concrete companies need be represented fairly. Commissioner Macik said he would like to see a phasing plan and the access road put in along the north side of I-70. He also expressed concerned about space for Town offices. Commissioner Klein said with the Swift Gulch road and the uncertainty of the railroad, a frontage road (Swift Gulch) is a good idea. He said appreciation on the affordable housing units should be the same as the rest of the county. Commissioner Fehlner said the two frontage roads that Vail has are not very attractive but if a north frontage road is needed, put it in. She felt deleting lots 1 and 5 is heading in the right direction. Commissioner Evans agrees with the vast majority of the staff report. He would like to see a written commitment by the applicant to tie into the Towns (Upper Eagle River, actually) water and sewer system on the upper lots north of I-70. He said he would like to see an added condition stating any reference to zoning for parcel M be removed from the PUD. He asked that consideration be given to the location of the gate (restricting access to lots 1-96 and RMF -3). In response to comments about the perceived lack of detail, and the short time frame, Peter Jamar said they are at the first step of a 3 -step process. If this project is approved, then they have to prepare a preliminary plan, which at the very least will be a 6 to 8 month process, possibly 10 months. Next they will need to prepare construction documents and go through the final platting process. In the spring of 2000 they will be able to start on the first phase of the project. And late in year 2001, the interchange will be put in. He said in their projections the first 4 to 5 years of the project the equlivant of Chapel Square project will be built per year. Mr. Jamar said they would be using the central sewer from Upper Eagle River Water and Sanation district and have Posted on August 28, 1998, at the following public places within the Town of Avon: • Avon Recreation Center, main lobby • Avon Municipal Building, main lobby • City Market, main lobby Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda September 1, 1998 Page 9 of 14 the ability to do individual septic systems for the upper lots. Doing so would help minimize site disturbance. He said Parcel M would be included as a mixed-use parcel. Commissioner Evans said looking at Parcels J, K, L, and M he is seeing very different language. Mr. Jamar said they are providing the acreage that the school district requires; that the gate location is put there at the request of the Division of Wildlife; and that on Page 13 of the black - line copy of the PUD guide paragraph D. 2 talks about parcel M, saying that the future densities will be determined pursuant to the amendment procedures set forth in the PUD guide. Commissioner Evans said the Commission is approving the land uses that are similar to the regional commercial, but without any of the amount of the square footages. Mr. Jamar said lots 1 and 5 seems like a good compromise. Commissioner Dantas asked if it was possible to move lots 1 through 5 on the larger lots. Mr. Jamar there is a possibility to move the units from lots 1 and 5 to other areas, but not from all five lots.. Commissioner Railton asked about limiting the lots to the West Side of the creek. Mr. Jamar said they will look at this in the preliminary plan stage. Bill Post said that as appealing as he finds the idea, putting a restriction of no dogs would cause the wealthy people not to buy in that area. Motion: Commissioner Fehlner moved to recommended approval of the development plan for the Village at Avon PUD subject to the following conditions: Items 1 through 14 in the staff report dated September 1, 1998, based upon the recommendation of this approval of the development plan as modified by these conditions based upon the following findings: 1 through 11. Commissioner Macik seconded. Commissioner Evans suggested two additional conditions to the motion: 1) that language in Item 2 of the PUD guide, Section A, sub -section 5, be resolved to both the Town's and the applicant's satisfaction regarding this section's proper wording; and, 2) the Council be aware of the discussions between the applicant and the Regional Transportation Authority's Trails Committee regarding trail access issues are ongoing and resolved at this time. That the Council needs to look at the resolution of the trail access issues strongly as it is a major part of the Town's Comprehensive Plan that new annexations will provide new trial access. Peter Jamar stated that the applicant has committed to providing an East/West path across the property and further that they will be providing parking at the trailhead at Swift Gulch and it will Posted on August 28, 1998, at the following public places within the Town of Avon: • Avon Recreation Center, main lobby • Avon Municipal Building, main lobby • City Market, main lobby Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda Page 10 of 14, September 1, 1998 be on private land, not Forest Service land, and will be open to the public. They will work with the Trails Committee to get the appropriate number of parking spaces. Commissioner Fehlner agreed to amend her motion, and the second concurred to include the following: Item 15: Trail access will be provided to the Town's satisfaction, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Commissioner Railton asked about berming along the 1-70 corridor. Mike Matzko responded that the project's design guidelines would address this issue and that the Commission will have the opportunity to review this document. . The motion passed unanimously. Final Design Review B. Lot 11, Block 5, Wildridge Subdivision - Wildwood Townhomes South Project Type: Design Modification for Metal Deck Roofs Property Owner: Wildwood Townhomes South Homeowners Applicant: Nancy Pruckno Address: 1011 West Wildwood Road George Harrison said that on August 4, 1998, the Commission tabled this request for the addition of metal deck roofs for the Wildwood Townhomes due to the desire for a sample of the roof material. He said the applicants are seeking approval to place blue, standing seam metal roofs over the second story decks on these existing townhomes. The roofs are meant to prevent further structural damage occurring from melting snow and ice. Nancy Pruckno, owner of a unit and applicant presented color samples to the Commission. Commissioner Railton said the roof color would determine the trim color in the future, and suggested the applicant match the roof with the body of the building. Commissioner Dantas said he would like to see all the roofs change not one unit at one time. Commissioner Evans said he agreed. Ms. Pruckno said some of the owners say they can't afford to change their roofs at this time. She said by applying for this change people would have some rules to go by rather than applying whatever they want. Motion: Commissioner Fehlner moved to approve ash gray color. Commissioner Dantas seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Posted on August 28, 1998, at the following public places within the Town of Avon: • Avon Recreation Center, main lobby • Avon Municipal Building, main lobby • City Market, main lobby Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Agenda September 1, 1998 Page 11 of 14 C. Lot 21, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision - Burkhard Duplex Project Type: Residential Duplex Property Owner/Applicant: Sondra and Erich Burkhard Address: 4250 Wildridge Road West George Harrison stated that the applicant requested this item be withdrawn from the agenda. D. Lot 43, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision - Van Wyhe Duplex Project Type: Residential Duplex Applicant/Property Owner: Warren & Wendy Van Wyhe Consultant: Frank Goetz, Coyote A/D Address: 2350 Saddle Ridge Loop George Harrison said the proposed residential duplex presents a contemporary mountain design, featuring a combination of stucco and wood siding. Each unit has its own driveway. The site is a relatively flat, pie shaped lot on Saddle Ridge Loop. He said that on June 16, 1998, the Planning & Zoning Commission conducted a Concept Design Review of this project, and thatthe Commission's verbal comments regarding the project's dual driveway design were generally positive. Staff recommends an outside light fixture be modified Motion: Commissioner Dantas moved to approve the final design for a duplex to be constructed on Lot 43, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision, as depicted on the plan set dated "received" August 26, 1998, subject to the following condition: The exterior light fixtures come back before the Commission for approval;, and based upon the following finding: The dual driveway eliminates much of the construction disturbance in the front yard that would result from a shared center driveway. Commissioner Railton seconded. Motion passed unanimously. E. Lot 42, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision - Slick-Scharpf Duplex Project Type: Residential Duplex Property Owner: George Gombas Applicant: Dave Slick and Tony Scharpf Address: 2111 Long Spur George Harrison said this project is a 4,696 square foot, contemporary western custom duplex, with the east unit measuring 2,230 square feet and the west unit measuring 2,466 square feet. The exterior materials consist of Spanish white stucco, forest green clad windows, canyon brown Posted on August 28, 1998, at the following public places within the Town of Avon: • Avon Recreation Center, main lobby • Avon Municipal Building, main lobby • City Market, main lobby Planning & Zoning Commissioii Meeting Agenda Page 12 of 14 September 1, 1998 decking and fascia, and vertical log accents. The roofing is a hickory, 40 -year Elk Prestique. The landscaping will consist of native Colorado trees, shrubs and plantings. The site is on the corner of Saddleridge Loop and Long Spur, and thus possesses a double front yard setback. It is essentially flat. Commissioner Fehlner said the one wall appears to be 2.5 to 3 stories Anthony Sharpf, builder and half owner, responded that he was going to plant trees in front of this wall. Commissioner Fehlner said that landscaping should be used to fix a bad design. She suggested relooking at the design. Commissioner Fehlner said a model might help visualize this project, but that with her experience reading plans, she felt it wouldn't change her assessment. Commissioner Macik said there needs to be a lot of work with the elevations. Needs something to help break up the large appearance. Commissioner Railton told the applicant to get an architect or someone to design a nice looking building. Commissioner Evans says this building does not meet criteria 6 and 7. It is the appearance of the mass. It needs to fit in with the surrounding buildings. And the windows need to coordinate with one another. Motion: Commissioner Railton moved to deny the Final Design application for the proposed duplex on Lot 42, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision, as described on the plan set dated August 18, 1998, based upon the following findings: 1. The project fails to conform to Design Review consideration 46, due to its lack of a consistent architectural theme, its large, boxy massing; its large, monolithic wall planes; and inconsistent scale of fenestration. 2. The project fails to conform to Design Review Consideration #7, due to its architectural incompatibility withother residences in the subdivision. Commissioner Dantas seconded. Motion passed unanimously. F. Lot 11, Block 2, Wildridge Subdivision - Dantas Residence Project Type: Single-family Residence with an Accessory Apartment Property Owner: Mike and David Dantas Applicant: David Dantas Posted on August 28, 1998, at the following public places within the Town of Avon: • Avon Recreation Center, main lobby • Avon Municipal Building, main lobby • City Market, main lobby Planning & Zoning Commissioii Meeting Agenda September 1, 1998 Address: 2681 O'Neal Spur Page 13 of 14, George Harrison said the proposed 3,454 square foot single family residence features five bedrooms, plus a 788 square foot accessory apartment above the garage. Exterior materials consist of white stucco, moss -rock stone base, large wood columns, and Elk Prestique asphalt shingles. The site slopes down from O'Neal Spur at approximately 29%. The existing vegetation includes many large Serviceberry bushes in addition to sage and grasses. It should be noted that the applicants began earthwork on the site without a permit. Staff issued a Stop Work Order, and charged an investigation fee, which has been paid by the applicants. Motion: Commissioner Railton moved to approve the Final Design application for Lot 11, Block 2 Wildridge Subdivision dated August 18, 1998, subject to the following conditions 1. That the two parallel surface parking spaces be delineated on the building permit plans. 2. That the building location be revised at the time of building permit submittal to eliminate the minor side yard setback encroachment. 3. That the site plan and the elevation drawings be revised to correlate with respect to grading, and that the revised plans be reviewed and approved by staff prior to issuance of building permit. 4. That all colors are subject to approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. 5. That landscaping be added in the area of the front entryways, and that the resulting landscape plan be submitted for staff approval. 6. A guardrail or similar barrier is placed at the driveway hammerhead. 7. That the applicant satisfy any additional requirements incurred by the accessory apartment, including but not limited to an additional tap fee." Commissioner Fehlner seconded. The motion passed unanimously. VII. Other Business Commissioner Evans said Michael Schneider has removed some of the dirt from his lot. A.
