Carport Plan

Landscape Plan

Kevin Rudd reported that the applicant is asking for a conditional approval of this project. During the public hearing there was discussion that amendments to Chapter 18 Design Guidelines were being considered by the City Council. The applicant, Robert Ence, attended the last Council meeting and commented that he would like to start on at least the site grading and putting in the utilities. After the Council makes a decision on the amendments, he will come back to this body with the architectural drawings of the buildings for approval. Staff feels this is an agreeable solution. Staff recommends approval.
Chair Loris asked if they were just reviewing the site and grading with no structure.
Kevin Rudd stated, yes. There will be a building pad approved. Robert Ence will be constrained to stay within the building pad area and stay within the setbacks.
Dale Coulam stated there is enough room within the setback requirements that it would not affect his curb and gutter. The same contractor that is going to tear down the existing structure would also be hired to do some of the improvements and put in the curb and gutter. As the Council makes the amendments to Chapter 18 regarding the offsets in the building, the concern was does he have enough room to accommodate that so that it doesn't affect his curb and gutter line. Kevin Rudd is confident that he would still be within the requirements. This is a Conditional Use Permit and one of the conditions would be that his building designs have to comply with whatever ordinance is in place at that time. This approval would allow him to proceed on items that would not be affected by the offsets and when he does his detailed design plan it has to show that it conforms to the ordinance.
Commissioner Anderson suggested that Robert Ence make his pad bigger. We talked about allowing the offsets to be a little closer. Then he cannot come back say the pad is this so I cannot do that.
Dale Coulam stated that they are not confining him to an exact pad size. He just has to meet the setbacks and the ordinance in place for the building design requirements.  Those would be the two conditions.
Chair Loris stated that if he is putting in his curb and gutter, he is defining the setbacks.
Commissioner Anderson stated there was a conversation about allowing a little closer to the setbacks if they gave a little more articulation.
Dale Coulam advised that has not been decided by the Council. That's a possibility but Kevin Rudd felt that even without that he has enough room to put in the curb and gutter.
Commissioner Anderson asked if the site preparation is mostly fill.
Kevin Rudd stated that it is.
Chair Loris commented that the site looked good with both entrances off the north and west side.
MOTION: Commissioner Adel Murphy moved to approve a Proposed Class IV partial Conditional Use Permit for the beginning of construction of site improvements for the multi-family project for Park Place Townhomes located at 65 W Center Street, Robert Ence, owner, and Premier Design, agent, with the following conditions: 
1. that when they have building designs they bring them before this body and those building designs must comply with the ordinance that is in place at the time they bring in the designs, especially, Chapter 18 and also that all setbacks are met.
Discussion:
Dale Coulam questioned the word "partial." They are approving the conditional use which would be a multi-family structure and the condition that they are imposing is that the design has to comply with Chapter 18. He suggested striking the word "partial."
Commissioner Murphy amended her motion by striking the word "partial."

Final Plat

Kevin Rudd reported that there is one lot in Taviawk Subdivision Phase 9-C. The TRC reviewed the Final Plat, and it is in compliance with the approved Preliminary Plan. The TRC recommends approval.
