00:54:50 Discussion
Cr. Coburn agreed with the staff's findings related to the criteria of evaluation. He stated this makes
sense to get a house where we would not be able to while protecting public health and safety and
conforms to the area.
Cr. Pomeroy will support as it will provide housing where there is none.
DM Cunningham agreed with the staff's findings. He applauded the applicant for engaging in the
necessary process to work around the barriers and difficulties of this particular parcel to provide an infill
housing unit.
