Planning Commission Meeting Minutes February 11, 2021 Page 9 of 10 Ritchie stated that the city attorney was already working on it. She stated that if the Commission had anything that they wanted to capture, like maximum length of deferral, they could include that in their motion. Williams stated that she supported Commissioner Rice's condition. She thought it was a great and thoughtful project. She had been hoping to see less parking and less concrete and to make it more rural. She supported the three waivers, including the waiver that all three sides have the same architectural articulation. She understood that it would cost more for the developer, but there could be ways to spruce it up that would not be too costly. She thought the east side could be spruced up in some way that would make it a little less drab. Moline stated that he agreed with Commissioner Rice's condition and he was comfortable with staff and the attorney and the applicant working out the details. He noted that he understood that this was a challenging site. He agreed with Commissioner Williams' that the east elevation needed a bit of additional work there for views from the trail. He stated that as someone who was associated with one of the local open space agencies sometimes the cities did not want additional open space to care for and he did not know if that was the case here but he supported the staff finding with land versus cash -in -lieu. Diehl agreed that if Parks and Rec was in agreement that made sense. Brauneis stated that he felt it was important to have some additional articulation on the east side and was in favor of keeping that condition. He thought that this had gone through a lot of processes and it was likely the best outcome. Rice made a motion to approve Resolution 2, Series 2021, including condition 1 from staff, and added a second condition concerning the development and finalization of the subdivision agreement prior to submittal to City Council.
