Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 9, 2018 Page 6 of 12 (6) Zuccaro stated that the ADA issue could be deferred, even though it was not standard and that not having clear ADA standards met ahead of time has caused problems in the past. (7) Change this condition to read that the easement width and location can be deferred. Zuccaro summarized that there were no major flaws in the design that staff was aware of. Staff's conditions were attempts to avoid future roadblocks and to follow best practice. Hoefner requested further comment from the applicant. Brothers stated that each issue had been addressed in meetings with staff. Brauneis asked for commissioner comments. Hsu stated that he sympathized with the applicant. He supported changing the lot line on Lot 18, the waiver, and the lot dimensions condition. Hsu thought that the parking space requirement could be clearer but that the applicant just needed to notate one typical space. He suggested that staff and the applicant come to an agreement on the remaining conditions on the list provided by the applicant. Williams asked for clarification on the remaining steps between this Commission hearing and the Council hearing and asked if the number of conditions was typical. She also stated that it was important to have things as clear as possible on an application since once it's built, it's built. Dean replied that it was an atypical number. She added that the majority of the conditions were required to be addressed before the Council hearing. They could be addressed directly or through an agreement that meets the intent of the conditions. Overall, the conditions were meant to avoid problems when it comes to administrating construction documents. Hoefner echoed Hsu and Zuccaro's comments. He thought that the application included many conditions that have already been addressed and that it included substantial concessions by the applicant. He suggested approving as drafted with the removal of conditions 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 on the applicant's list and adding a condition that staff and the applicant address them through additional notes on the application. Hsu stated that the waiver question for the setbacks on Lot 18 was the messiest issue that would go before the Council. Though he supported it, the waiver was still vague. Williams clarified the nature of Hsu's concern, pointing out that normally the Commission would approve a waiver specifically, but in this case they do not have a formal waiver request before the Commission. Hsu confirmed that that was his concern.
