DISCUSSION ITEMS:
1. SF Dwellings on R1A lots:
Ron suggested that the commission consider allowing patio homes in the R2
and R2A zones, also. A patio home is a single family detached home with a slight change of setbacks from those
required in the R-1 zoned areas.
Greg Hansen, 5699 Veil suggested because minimum side yard setbacks are directly tied to building height for
building over one store and the vagueness of “at grade” that they measure building height from the foundation instead
of from grade. Most of the patio homes will have a basement and will be around 1200 sq. ft. on the main level.
The Commission discussed the issue and determined that for the fairness of the people already living adjacent
to undeveloped R1-A zone properties that individual notices would be mailed to them to inform them about the Public
Hearing to be held in May.
2. Comprehensive Plan Draft:
Ron had the commission review the electronic version of the proposed
revised comprehensive plan map, so he can send it back to Patty.
