Call the meeting of the design adjustment committee to order. Um, before we get started, I have to read an introduction. The design adjustment committee's purpose is to establish clear and measurable review criteria for the consideration of major deviations from the city's technical standards and specifications manual, building design and material standards and subdivision standards. The committee does not consider housing type, cost of the proposed unit, occupants, building material, unit size, number of bedrooms, or the architectural design of the structures. These hearings are quasi-judicial evidentiary hearings. That means they are like a court hearing, and the committee's decisions are constrained by the standards and the ordinance and based upon the facts presented. All variance requests require a four-fifths vote of the committee to grant the variants. Appeals of the committee decisions are to superior court. The parties in these cases are entitled to an impartial board. If a board member has a fixed opinion on the matter, a financial interest in the outcome, a close relationship with the affected person, or has had any ex parte communication about the matter, please disclose that information to determine if a recusal is necessary. City staff will introduce the proposed project to the committee, and committee members may ask questions. The applicant may present additional information about the project and members may ask questions. If anyone wishes to provide evidence at today's hearing, witnesses must be must sign in at the clipboard in the back of the room and be sworn in. Because witnesses are to provide sworn testimony, please focus on the facts and the standards, not personal preference or opinion. When a witness comes forward to give testimony, please come to the podium, state your name and address for the record, and speak clearly. At this time, staff will administer the oath for all individuals who intend to provide witness testimony. If I could have all staff applicants and member of the public to please stand up and raise your right hand. Second. Okay. Any discussion? All in favor of approval of the minutes. Say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? And of course I did not vote. Um first item on the agenda is a 2718 worth drive. Is there a staff presentation?
