06:31:42 PM Commission Discussion
Deputy Mayor Taylor stated the area is surrounded by R-4 already and he saw this at
the Wetlands Review board. Nice project; let them do it.
Cr. Mehl stated that he agrees with the staff analysis and this complies with the criteria
for City and State rules. This is density and close to high employment area. He supports.
Cr. Pomeroy stated that high density is good for shopping area. She supports.
Mayor Krauss urged the developer to be sensitive to the park to the west. R-3 is default
and this is a little higher density but makes sense and is in close proximity to retailers.

No person commented.
Mayor Krauss closed public comment.
07:00:55 PM Motion to reimburse the Applicant half of the fee.
Commissioner- Chris Mehl: Motion
Deputy Mayor - Carson Taylor: 2nd
07:01.09 PM Commission discussion on the Motion
Cr. MehI has concerns about the fee when staff was going to do this anyways. City
already has this, why have the applicant pay? The City plays by own rules and we ask
others to as well. He had the indication that the staff was going ahead.
Mayor Krauss doesn't see it that way. We impose standards and this is an issue of
timing and if we split this part, split the other part as well. Symbolism is important. He
gave the sand building and cemetery as examples.
Deputy Mayor Taylor troubled that they had to go through the variance process and do
this, seems like double duty. Wondered if there was another project proposed in order to
do this? Applicant stated no.

Commissioner- 1-Ho Pomeroy: 2nd
07:14:23 PM Commission discussion on the Motion
Cr. Mehl stated that he supports this. He did have concerns about parking of larger
vehicles. He is convinced that others have adopted these same standards. He is more
impressed with the infill. This is viability for downtown.
Cr. Pomeroy supports the infill and creation of an environment for more density.
Cr. Andrus stated that she supports and that text amendments continue to go through this
body.
Mayor Krauss stated that he supports, but he can't park in the little tiny spots anymore.
We are cutting 6ft out of maneuver. We need to be careful about not sending a message
about tighter standards that states we only want small vehicles downtown. It is important
to have all kinds of vehicles downtown.

materials, public comment, recommendation of the Zoning Commission, and all the
