The Development Review Commission held a regular meeting on January 11, 2022, to approve minutes, a consent agenda item, and a public hearing for a use permit for a second-story addition. The commission approved all items unanimously.
Public comments were read into the record for the Miller residence case. The neighbor to the west (flag lot) expressed concern that the new second story and garage would make their home less visible from the street. James Hoffman requested an engineering study to ensure the integrity of the lake wall, citing a need for precedent. The Lakes HOA also submitted concerns about the project. No in-person or online speakers addressed the commission.
This is the Development Review Commission regular meeting for January 11th, 2022. The Development Review Commission is created to hold public meetings and hearings to provide analysis and recommendation to the City Council regarding general land use policies and applications, where the commission has recommendatory power and to render final decisions on specified applications where the commission has final decision making power, including but not limited to all aspects of a proposed and future development. The development review commission recognizes that the creation of a desirable environment throughout the city for residents, businesses, and industry is a prime requisite for the interdependence of land values, aesthetics, and good site planning by promoting harmonious, safe, attractive, and compatible development that is therefore considered to be in the best interest of public health, safety, and general welfare. Appealing the development review commission's decisions. Any person aggrieved by a final decision of the development review commission may file an appeal to the city council within 14 calendar days after the development review commission has rendered its decision. The development review commission recommendations to the city council are not final decisions. Let's see. With us today, I'll just go for my left. We have Commissioners Phil Amarosi, I'm Chairman Mike D. Domenico, Vice Chair Steve Bauer, and Commissioner Barbara Lloyd attending remotely. And if I push a button, I can too. We should uh I believe have Don Cassano, Commissioner Don Cassano, Michelle Schwartz, and Scott Sumners with us here for staff, uh attending virtually Separada Skupta, uh here in in chambers, Steve Averhamson, uh Joanna Barry, uh, Jason Wolfe, and Ryan Levake, and I believe Lee Himenez is uh also virtual. Uh members of the public, just to let you know, this was discussed in our study session earlier. Uh, we have one item that was originally advertised for hearing tonight that has been removed by the applicant. So if you are online or here in person uh because you wish to uh to hear case uh item number five, which is the Fiji House case, that item has been withdrawn. We will not hear uh or deal with that matter at all today. That leaves us uh two cases to discuss items number three and four on your agenda. Also, commissioners who are attending virtually, um, our computer system uh is tonight is is being obstinate and it's not giving us the ability to see you. So if you raise your hand to be heard, um assume yeah, assume I'm not gonna see you, and so um either speak up uh or Joanna will get my attention and let me know that uh that you wish to be heard. So um it should work just fine. We've only got two cases. Chairman, um I am also watching for that, so we'll keep an eye for you. All right, well, then I'll listen to you too if you uh flag me down. Um in pre-session, uh we reviewed the minutes for the November 10th uh study session and and regular meeting. There were no modifications or edits to those, so we will be voting on those as they were drafted. We also uh it's our intention to vote on our consent agenda. There's one item that was moved to the consent agenda, that is the item number three, the price and baseline road case. And it would be our intention to vote in the affirmative for that consent agenda, meaning that we would take no public comment and we would approve item number three. So if you are here in the public or online and you wish to be heard on that case, let me know now. Otherwise, it will remain on consent agenda. We see anything, hearing none, uh the consent agenda will remain uh as I had just said. Um, all right, so let's deal with the meeting minutes. Um, and I suppose we can do these in one motion for both sets of minutes. Do we have a motion for approval? Mr. Chairman, this is Commissioner Cassano. I would make a motion for approval of the commission study session of November 10th, 2021, and the regular meeting of November 10th, 2021. Uh it's been moved by Commissioner Cassano. Do we have a second? Second, Commissioner Amorosi. Moved and seconded. Any discussion? Hearing none. I will take a uh roll call vote. Uh Commissioner Schwartz. Aye. Uh Commissioner Cassano. Aye. Vice Chair Bauer. Aye.
