Special Planning Commission Minutes Page 7 August 9, 2005 --------------------------- except for those lots which are nonconforming. He asked that the developer take a hard look at increasing the lot sizes. He stated that he could support a recommendation for approval with the conditions as stated previously. Chair Anderson stated that as he stated at the previous meeting, he did not feel the density was compatible with the existing neighborhood. He believed the transition between the old and new was not smooth. He was not comfortable with the length of the cul-de-sac. He felt that increasing the lot sizes should not necessarily have a negative impact on the bottom line, and that given the desirable location of the project, the lots should receive in a good price. He did not see any reason not to recommend approval with all of the conditions as stated. Commissioner Ropp stated that he was in agreement with all 21 of the recommended conditions and expressed his appreciation to staff for their effort in providing them. Chair Anderson reviewed the comments of Commissioner Stevens. He summarized the comments by stating that Commissioner Stevens felt it was unfortunate that the developer did not meet with the Planning Commission informally first to discuss the project. He did not feel the density provided an adequate buffer to the existing homes. He stated that Lots 6, 7, and 8, Block 1, and Lot 22, Block 3 should not be allowed as they don’t meet the City’s requirements. He felt that he could support approval of the plat under the terms of Condition #21, since he felt this would be a better fit with the existing residential neighborhood.
