owned several other properties on Kalawa Street; it was his understanding that there wasn’t a setback requirement for that, and now there is a setback requirement for his property he is applying for. And according to the Planning Department, there is a four-foot setback. KAY: That is correct. Okay, so, the initial ordinance back in 2003 a req-, because that was changing from Multi-Family Residential to Commercial zoning, and because of the designation of the street as a secondary arterial, I believe, the requirement was to widen the road. So they actually said widen the pavement, add curb, gutter, sidewalk, at that point. So that was the original requirement, condition under the original ordinance. When he came back in for the time extension, Public Works looked at that and said in order to kind of be consistent with the curb, gutter, sidewalk and the pavement width with the adjacent commercial parcel, instead of widening so you would have a jog in putting it in, they said go ahead and be consistent with the pavement width, curb, gutter, sidewalk, to your next door parcel, and then just set aside a five-foot road widening setback so that should in the future Public Works decide to widen the road, that they would be able to do so within the five-foot setback. Did that answer your question? UNGER: Yeah. KAY: Okay. UNGER: Also, just a parking question, and I think Mr. Fine is here to testify, but in regard to the letter he’s sent to the Planning Department, I mean, if we are all familiar with this area, parking is an issue. I did notice that there are two parking stalls per apartment; I didn’t see any parking for the commercial kitchen or the eating area. Is there additional parking required for that, or how is that being addressed? KAY: So based on these plans, given the square footage of the proposed development, it would meet the code requirement, the code requirement for parking stalls. These are just preliminary plans, so he’d still have to go through the Plan Approval process at which point, should he change his plans between now and then, we take a look at it and require the appropriate amount of parking for the code UNGER: Okay. Thank you. KAY: You’re welcome. UNGER: Any other questions? CHURCH: No. UNGER: Thank you. KAY: Thank you. UNGER: If the applicant can come forward at this time. Please raise your right hand. Do you swear and affirm to tell the truth before the Planning Commission? SUNDQUIST: Yes, I do. 3 EXHIBIT D
