APPLICANT: Holly Hartman
PROJECT PLANNER: Ryan Safty
Ryan Safty, Associate Planner, available to answer questions.
Applicant presented the proposed project.
Opened Public Comment.
Roger Robins
• Concerned about windows facing onto neighbors’ windows. The variance is two times
the floor area ratio.
Marshall Robins
• Concerned about construction, fencing, and parking challenges.
Sandra Payne
• The proposed homes would be close in size and floor area to the surrounding homes.
The neighborhood is unique in that only one other property on this side of George
Street actually faces George Street.
Lauren Keen
• The prior preschool caused parking congestion. Concerned about traffic density.
Closed Public Comment.
Committee members discussed the matter and provided the following questions and
comments:
• Neighborhood outreach is important.
• Will there be additional trees?
• Address privacy issues.
• Need more multi-family housing. Prefer smaller and more units.
• The General Plan update process is discussing a State requirement for housing density
and the need for more units.
• Elementary and middle schools are nearby. If there were more single-family homes,
families living there could walk instead of drive to the schools.
• Maximize open space and limit paving.
