 Following a comprehensive presentation by staff to discuss the history of the project and the character of the neighborhood, the Commission listened to public testimony regarding the creek habitat, wildlife corridors and concerns regarding the scale and mass of the proposed new residence. Following Commission discussion on the potential biological concerns, creek setbacks and neighborhood character, Commissioner Ashbaugh motioned to approve the Use Permit and deny the appeal based on findings and several additional conditions. The motion included a condition to increase the creek setback from 20 feet to 30 feet, recommend the project share one driveway, recommend the ARC reduce the scale and mass of the new residence, and recommend a riparian habitat restoration plan be included. Commissioner Stevenson seconded the motion and commented on the excessive scale of the residence. Commissioners Mc Coy and Carter felt that the conditions were excessive and that the proposal already complied with the code. The motion passed on a 3-2 vote with Commissioners Mc Coy and Carter dissenting due to the new conditions.
