D. PUBLIC HEARINGS:

1. Conduct the public hearing for approval of a variance to Section 6-2-26:4 for the property
 located at 204 N. Huffman Street - PZC 20-1-057
 Gabrielle Mattingly, Planning Services Team, provided an overview of the request.


 Caitlin Paloian, Rosanova & Whitaker, Ltd. spoke on behalf of the petitioner.


 The PZC discussed the height of surrounding homes, the location of the duplex on
 the lot since it will not be centered and the visibility of the duplex from the park
 behind the property. Ms. Paloian responded the duplex will comply with the mean
 and peak heights required by code and that the location of the duplex on the lot is
 due to the grade and the design of the driveway.


 Scott Williams, Planning Services Team, read submitted written comments into the
 record.


 Public Testimony:
 Amy Ditmars questioned the height of the other residences surrounding the
 proposed duplex and expressed concern that the duplex will look different than
 the surrounding neighbors given most of the residences are believed to be well
 below the peak height.


 Commissioner Losurdo asked the petitioner to clarify what the height of the house
 to the north of the subject property. Dan Jurjovec, Lakewest Custom Homes, LTD.,
 petitioner, was unable to speak to the heights of the surrounding properties, but
 responded to other comments received stating the building is not centered on the
 property given it must comply with the required corner side yard setbacks. Mr.
 Jurjovec also stated the duplex complements the newer construction found within
 the neighborhood and the R2 zoning district regulations which permit duplexes.


 Commissioner Van Someren, Commissioner Losurdo Commissioner Robbins,
 Commissioner Bansal and Chairman Hanson stated support for the proposal finding
 a hardship given the slope of the lot.


 A motion was made by Commissioner Bansal, seconded by Commissioner Van
 Someren to close the public hearing.
 Aye: Bansal, Habel, Hanson, Losurdo, Richelia, Robbins, Van Someren


 A motion was made by Commissioner Richelia, seconded by Commissioner
 Losurdo to adopt the findings of fact as presented by the petitioner and approve
 PZC 20-1-057 a variance to section 6-2-26:4 to permit a 3 story duplex for the
 property located at 204 N. Huffman Street.

 Aye: 7- Bansal, Hanson, Losurdo, Habel, Van Someren, Robbins, and Richelia
