Continued from the April 20, 2006 meeting
Design Review Committee decision final unless appealed.
Staff member Ghosh explained that this part of the application was continued to this
meeting because the applicant had expressed a desire at the last Design Review
Committee meeting to change the design of their house. However, since then, the
applicant changed their mind and has decided to go with the plans as originally
submitted. Commissioner Saadati asked if the side yard setbacks in this proposal are
consistent with the surrounding lots. Staff member Ghosh stated that it was.
Chairperson Giefer stated that she was pleased with the way Staff had continued to
work with the applicant to get a good design on such a difficult lot.
