Bichanich stated they have met with one neighbor <br />over the weekend and would be meeting with the other two neighbors in the near future to discuss what is <br />now being proposed for this site. <br />Bichanich indicated the house has been moved back approximately 20 feet to stay in line with the <br />Charrier residence. Bichanich stated the driveway and garage layout have also been revised to reduce the <br />visual impact from the Coward residence. Bichanich indicated the new garage layout allows for <br />additional screening along the Charrier lot line and between the proposed house and the Coward and <br />Nelson residences. <br />Bichanich explained the preliminary design of the house, and noted that the amount of grading on the site <br />would be minimal. <br />White inquired what the response was from the first neighbor. <br />Bichanich stated the response was positive and that they appreciate the new design. <br />Broitzman noted that the council members should have received an e-mail from that neighbor. <br />Broitzman stated the berm would help to obstruct any headlights coming up from the driveway. <br />Bichanich reviewed the topography of the site and that they would be working with the neighbors to <br />resolve any drainage issues that exist at the present time. Bichanich stated they would be leaving the trees <br />that are currently between the two lots and planting additional trees. <br />Sansevere inquired whether the city planner is comfortable with the position of the house. <br />Gaffron stated option two is not as ideal as option one and would not accomplish what the neighbors <br />would like to see with this project. Gaffron stated he is fine with option one as long as the neighbors are <br />not opposed to it. <br />McMillan indicated she is fine with the proposed average setback line. <br />PAGE 2 of 15 <br />• <br />0 <br />
