Lot 3, Nottingham Station, PUD Amendment, Public Hearing. (Con.'t)
Mark Donaldson was present on behalf of the applicant. Mark pointed changes in the
buildings along the river noticing three different building designs in the project thereby
giving more distance between the buildings. The length of buildings along the frontage of
the river have been reduced but the applicant is not proposing to reduce the density with
the opportunity to change some of the two level units into two one level units.
Chairperson Hunn inquired on the percentage of length taken out of the buildings.
The applicant responded with 25% reduction in length.
Commission member Rhoda Schneiderman made clear that the design has nothing to do
with the PUD making it up to the discretion of the Commission to interpret.
The applicant explained the maximum height line when set parallel to the grade line the
dormer in some cases gets clipped. The overall height could be raised up to three feet or
allow dormers to encroach and keep the overall ridge height. The latter was the applicants
preference.
Chairperson Hunn opened the public hearing. No comments. Public hearing closed.
The Commission complemented the reduction of three building by one bay. The preferred
building height issue was suggested the Commission go with the lesser height and give a
condition of encroachment for the dormer.

Lot 32, Block 2, Wildridge, Conceptual Design Review, Clinton/Barry Residence.(Con.'t)
The applicant was interest in some feedback from the Commission. Erosion control was
of concern. The proposed drainage on the backside is in a pattern that does deflect the
drainage away from the house. Moving the house further to the north will only move the
house into the ground. Parking suggestions were encouraged from the Commission.
The Commission was concerned with the parking arrangement and suggested developing a
hammerhead feature at one of the two switchbacks with some retainage. More
landscaping was suggested. The window on the chimney was considered odd.
Concern with the scissors truss detail by following the roof plain rather than the ceiling
plain.
2) Valleywide request for a sign. Mary Holden offered to check on it.
