Her neighborhood would be directly impacted by the appellant's proposal to <br />solving the shadowing problem. She explained the concerns and suggested that the <br />height on the south side of Brewster be limited to three stories and the height on Fuller <br />Street be limited to five stories. This would eliminate the effective shadows the <br />appellant fears because the buildings south of his property would be reduced from <br />eight to five stories. She further urged Council to reject the alternative proposed in the <br />appeal. <br />M/S Aguirre/Foust to close the public hearing. The motion passed by a unanimous <br />voice vote. <br />Council asked various questions of staff related to shadowing. <br />Mr. Ryken responded to comments from staff. <br />Recommendation: <br />M/S Foust/Aguirre to adopt Resolution 14765 upholding the Planning Commission's <br />certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report, denying the appeal, and <br />making findings to deny the appeal. <br />The motion passed by a unanimous roll call vote. <br />JOINT CITY COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FEBRUARY 26, 2007 <br />MINUTES PAGE 6 <br />
