rage i oi .s Mike Gaffron � From: Mike Gaffron Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 2:00 PM To: 'Steve Bohl' Cc: Ron Moorse; 'Barb Peterson'; Jim White; 'Jim Murphy'; 'Lili Tod McMillan'; 'bob sansevere' Subject: RE: Glendale Cove and MacKinnon Hill Steve, I think you've got some excellent ideas for both sites. It's critical that we come up with a strategy for Glendale Cove that incorporates a combination of height and massing limits as well as screening guidelines. We shouid sit down and discuss after the first of the year(I'm out of the office from Dec. 17�h thru Jan, 2). I'm willing to write a memo/letter to MCWD informing them of the status of the application and requesting that they proceed with a preliminary review; however, we should wait to hear from Jim Murphy, as i recall he said he would contact Eric Evenson, the MCWD administrator... 4(B) establishes how we calculate the lot size for any "Oversize Accessory Structures" that might be proposed on the 3 lots that are bigger than 2 acres; the lot size impacts how big a large (over 1000 sfl accessory buiiding can be on a lot over 2 acres in area... 4(C) indicates that the 3 westerly lots are subject to the standard 15% 'lot coverage by structures' limit for lots smaller than 2 acres in area. For a lot that's 1.4 acres (61,000 sf) for example, the footprint of all structures can't exceed 15% of 61,000 sf, i.e. 9,150 s.f. Unless you plan to build huge outbuildings, this is not going to be an issue, but it needs to be documented because this is a PRD and I wanted to make it clear for the future what was intended... ...remember that the Planning Commission recommended that this 15% limit not be appiied to the Glendale Cove project, in favor of using an FAR ratio of 0.5; after Monday's meeting, i'm not convinced that Council agrees with the PC on that point, and 15% of a 14,000 sf lot leaves a 2100 sf footprint, which might be just fine on some lots that size. Perhaps we need to define a house size/massing plan for each lot in Glendale Cove based on the visual impacts. Food for thought... The next Council meeting is January 9th. I suspect we aren't going to make much progress by then, but let's meet the first week of January and see where we're at. Mike lVlichael P.
