Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 13, 2020 Page 9 of 12 wisdom in requiring the 60 feet requirement, and thinks the proposed design does not fit a space that is the rural gateway to the city. Rice discusses the concept of enhanced landscaping. In his opinion, a buffer creates actual space and enhanced landscaping will only screen what is trying to be screened, which is not a sufficient buffer. That is just a wall of trees. He does not think that approach solves the problem. He mentions that he was also very struck by Pastor Candy’s letter that he submitted saying that their church needs to move forward with their other development and the financial aspect of this. He wants to get this project moving. It has to be recognized that at the last meeting, there was a compromise of giving the additional 5 feet. The original plan was to have the parking east of the buildings. We are even allowing the parking to come up to the 55 foot mark. He believes that there has already been compromise. The applicant is saying that they cannot give up that additional 5 feet, and staff believes it is appropriate to stick to the 55 feet. He is reluctant to try to compromise with the applicant. For example, the applicant wanting a 35 setback and staff wanting a 55 setback and meeting in the middle of the two in order to compromise is, in his opinion, not an appropriate way to solve the problem.
