Vote: 7/0 Unanimous Motion passed
Harbin explained the item was for a new commercial building to which staff had no
outstanding issues. She said there are a lot of trees existing on the property and the
applicant is keeping most of them. There is a small cluster of trees that will be new to
mitigate for the removal of some existing trees during construction.
Commissioner O’Farrell stated he had met the applicant, Angela Johnson, a decade ago.
He said that her new building will be where he climbed trees as a child; he lived down the
road.
Commissioner Branson told the applicant how pleased the Commission was with the
proposed design.
5. Consideration and possible action regarding future Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting dates.
Harbin said the next regular meeting is scheduled for April 16, 2015 at 7:00pm. She stated
there is one pending resubmittal and if not received in time, the regular meeting could be
cancelled.
Harbin announced the Whitcomb property rezoning would not be on the upcoming City
Council agenda but would be rescheduled for a new Joint Public Hearing on May 4th due to
the amount of changes in the proposed PUD since the last JPH. She suggested the
Commission also keep their regular meeting on May 7th. Chairman McLean agreed due to
the magnitude of the project and said the Commissioners would need the time between
meetings to review the PUD documents.
