Home

SCHLUETER: I think, folks, I think we are getting a little far into discussion here with lots of opinions and things. VITOUSEK: Okay. SCHLUETER: Let's try and stick to our questions. We'll discuss in just a moment. VITOUSEK: Okay. So with that, can we have a motion to FUKE: Mr. Chair, can I just make one final comment— VITOUSEK: ommentVITOUSEK: Okay. FUKE: to address like one of the questions that was raised by the commissioners? Yeah, I think that Commissioner DeFranco had raised a very interesting, made a very interesting observation about the view plane impact the project would have on the Life Care facility. Normally, if my understanding of the SMA rules is accurate, the view plane considerations are important usually from a public highway perspective and not necessarily neighbor to neighbor. But notwithstanding the, you know, that criteria, it is important to remain neighborly. So in this particular situation, fortunately, there is like ample space to kind of adjust, you know, the placement of buildings. And so—and it was comforting to hear what Maija had mentioned that in checking the topography, the subject property is like 10 feet lower than, you know, the Life Care facilityso, you know, I, I would kind of like want to encourage the developer, and, you know, they are here, that during the course of the Plan Approval process, prior to submitting the plans for plan review, that at least have some consultation with representatives of Life Care Center to see like how possibly buildings could be massaged to address their concern. But at least give an opportunity for the Life Care Center to weigh in on it, and the Plan Approval, you know, that information obviously would have to be transmitted to the planning director as part of the Plan Approval process, and maybe the Planning Department through that process can modify, if appropriate, some of the placements of the structure. And I,personally, I think that just only being the good neighbors. VITOUSEK: Thank you. With that, again, is thereI think time is good to seek a motion to approve, deny, or defera motion that's at hand to the agenda item? Commissioner DeFranco. DEFRANCO: Okay, so, I move the application to amend the Special Management Area permit, docket number 286 be approved based on the planning director's recommendations, which shall be adopted. So I need a second. VITOUSEK: Second from anybody? (No audible response) okay, seeing noneoh, Commissioner Armbruster? ARMBRUSTER: Yep, I second. 24 EXHIBIT D
