Planning Commission Meeting Minutes September 14, 2017 Page 10 of 10 Ritchie asked if the Commission had preferences on the specific questions listed. Hsu suggested that the Council ask more questions in the written form and have longer interviews with fewer people. Hsu stated that part of the reason for the short interview times could be that City Council seemed to interview everyone who applied. Brauneis noted that the Council had to limit the number of pages they had to read, especially when they have over 100 applicants. Rice suggested that the application could limit the number of characters for each answer. Moline asked if staff reviewed applicants. Zuccaro stated that only City Council reviews applicants. Brauneis added that the applications become public domain. Sheets asked if there were a way to pursue what Sheets and Hsu were suggesting. Dean stated that other districts use staff to make recommendations among the larger pool of applicants and give a few applicants to the Council. Pritchard suggested that staff could suggest that process to the mayor. Hsu added that the sustainability board reviewed the applicants and forwarded their recommendations to Council. Pritchard asked for additional comments. Seeing none, he turned to scheduling for October 12tn ITEMS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR THE REGULAR MEETING: OCTOBER 12T", 2017 808 Main: A request for a Final Planned Unit Development to allow the construction of a two-story rear addition at 808 Main Street (PUD-035-2017). • Applicant: Vern Seieroe • Owner: 808 Main LLC • Case Manager: Lauren Trice, Associate Planner Pritchard asked why the 808 Main item was held up for the past two meetings. Zuccaro stated that staff made requests for revisions and had yet to receive those revisions. Zuccaro reminded the Commission that Rice and Moline were sitting on the design guideline consultant proposal review committee. They received 6 applicants and they will narrow those down to about 4 to interview and by mid- to late -October they would make recommendations to City Council. Zuccaro added that there may be money for the Planning Commission to attend conferences such as the Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute or the state American Planning Association Conference next year. Staff is trying to get a budget for two commissioners at a time for at least one conference per year. He asked the Commission to think of what conferences they would like to attend if that funding makes it into the final budget. Adjourn: Pritchard made motion to adjourn, seconded by Brauneis. Pritchard adjourned meeting at 8:12 PM.
