Jensen Homes, representative for Mr. Jacobs. was present The Affidavit of Publication and Certificate of Mailing were duly noted. Mabusth provided a brief review of her November 15, 1990 memo. She not«»d that if this parcel were combined with the estate parcel, it would be necessary to only consider approval of two Variances. Kelley said, "I view this as two separate parcels. In my opinion, I cannot recommend approval of this proposal." Mabusth said, "Mr. Jacobs has submitted a letter indicating a willingness to legally combine the parcels." Kelley said, "That would shed a new light on this application. I would be willing to consider the two parcels as a whole, once the legal combination has been completed." Cohen said, "I am not sure that legally combining the parcels would change my opinion. However, I am certain that I cannot approve four Variances for a 2.7 acre parcel." Moos agreed that she could not approve four Variances for a 2.7 acre parcel. Johnson concurred with Cohen. Ms. Quinby asked the Planning Commission. "Are you saying that you may not approve this even in the event the parcels are combined?" Kelley replied, "We do not know that for sure at this point." Ms. Qf.inby said, "You are asking that we combine the parcels and then come back again." Mabusth clarified, "The Planning Ccjmmission is asking you to bring back a plan showing the combined parcels." Bellows said, "My objections focus on the helter-skelter nature of the buildings and the commercial characteristics and placement of the greenhouse. I believe the structure would stand more of a chance if it were more residential in appearance. I also find it difficult to approve the construction of this greenhouse on a 2.7 acre parcel." - 9 -
