7.2.A. - Page 29 <br /> back regarding the permit, and clarify and educate around those issues. Also, he would <br /> like to get some direction on how we might want to change our ordinances. <br /> Another Council Member suggested that the City have better communications with the <br /> public regarding the permit process. One other Council Member asked Mr. Lyon to <br /> repeat his calculation concerning Alternative B. It was explained that Condition 19 set <br /> a formula with a set minimum of 2,000 square feet and rounding up. Vice Mayor Gee <br /> would like to see a citywide slope ordinance, not so much a hillside slope ordinance. <br /> He pointed out that slopes are not exclusive to the hills. Clarifying comments were <br /> made about Condition 19 by staff. <br /> M/S Foust/Ira to approve Alternative B, which is the recommendation as made by <br /> staff, to the Planning Commission without the edits from that body (includes the <br /> 2,000 sq. feet as the minimum home size limit, which is inclusive of the garage). <br /> One Council Member commented that he wished this was all handled differently, and <br /> wished all the residents got together and made this a "joint project". He would like to <br /> apply the law correctly and he does not want to create unmitigated impacts. <br /> Mr. Lyon clarified that this option includes the 2,000 sq. feet as the minimum home size <br /> limit — including the garage. <br /> Another Council Member said she will support the motion, but wished that they all <br /> merged lots and had handled the slope by themselves. This Council Member said that <br /> it is not acceptable that the current construction is going on and we need to set up a <br /> good track record so that we show we are serious about the mitigations. A different <br /> Council Member said he is not going to support this motion, because he thought there <br /> was going to be a discussion about the hillside ordinance or slope ordinance and that <br /> would have helped before the meeting. He believes this is out of order. Vice Mayor Gee <br /> said he is supporting this motion, but infill housing is hard and this had a long history. <br /> He feels we owe it to everyone to make decisions. He opined that this is not one-size <br /> fits all. Mayor Aguirre concurred with Vice Mayor Gee's comments and she too will <br /> support this; and, she believes in both property rights and in being good neighbors. <br /> Motion carries 6-1 by electronic vote with Council Member Bain opposing <br /> modification to Condition 19. <br /> MINUTE ORDER 13-176 <br /> M/S Ira/Foust to deny the Save Laurel Way appeal modifying the Planning Commission <br /> approval. Motion carries unanimously by electronic vote. <br /> MINUTE ORDER 13-177 <br /> M/S Ira/Seybert to deny the Laurel Way Joint Ventures (applicant) appeal and modifying <br /> the Planning Commission approval. Motion carries unanimously by roll call vote. <br /> MINUTE ORDER 13-178 <br /> M/S Seybert/Bain to have the resolutions formalizing the above mentioned actions, be <br /> submitted to the City Council again to certify that the resolutions are in congruence with <br /> the actions taken tonight. Motion carries unanimously by voice vote. <br /> MINUTE ORDER 13-179 <br /> CITY COUNCIL September 23, 2013 <br /> MEETING MINUTES PAGE 14 <br />
