Commissioner Lee stated that she felt the design of the home was nice, she didri t feel
that additional stone siding was necessary. ~~he thought that the entry feature as show
on the current drawings was fine. She wanted the first sentence of Condition #5 stricken
so that the wording of the condition will become that the incorporation of green
elements is voluntary. She was concerned that if the applicant rotated the home on the
site, it might be hard to get in and out of the driveway.
Chairman Brophy agreed with Commissioner Lees comments. He is sympathetic to the
neighbor's concerns about their views, but treat the City cannot require the applicant to
modify their design to accommodate the vie~n~s of the neighbors.
Chairman Brophy moved to approve the application with the following conditions;
items # 2 and #3 of the Conditions of Approval be stricken and item #5 be amended to
reflect a voluntary participation in the incorporation of Green Building elements or
systems into the new home construction.
MOTION: Chairman Brophy moved to approve ASA-2009-03 with the above
mentioned changes
