structures.
Colleen Martin, Olive Street, representing Lynn Titus on Lierly Lane, stated she had met with staff
regarding concerns with proposed improvements to Lierly Lane. She read from a prepared letter
which expressed concerns regarding the timing of road improvements; ownership of the Lierly Lane
easement; how "substantial conformance" is defined as it relates to the proposed replacement
structure; and a request that the map show the specific Lierly Lane street improvements.

house in the agricultural buffer;
— Stated that the proposal serves the best use of the property given the constraints on the site;
— In response to a question regarding the timeline required for road improvements, City Attorney
Carmel replied that Conditions #17 and #65 require that all essential project improvements shall
be constructed prior to occupancy and explained that other conditions require bonding for other
non -essential project improvements;
— Supported demolition and replacement of the house as the best solution for this property.
In response to a request from Council Member Fellows to respond to some of the public comments
submitted by Ms. Martin, City Attorney Carmel explained that "substantial conformance" is a

feet street width from curb to curb, tapering to the east prior to the property boundary, as per the

width have been addressed in the conditions of approval;
— Supported drainage retention on -site with a landscaped bioswale;

expressed concerns with the changes to the size, configuration, and access of the house off of
Lierly Lane and wondered if it was far enough away to mitigate potential impacts;
— Noted that the 2"d unit on the site is inhabited and larger than staff estimated; is satisfied that
the replacement house is only about 40% larger;

landscape plan for the buffer area; requested the agriculture buffer improvement criteria be
thoroughly reviewed;
— Expressed concern about potential toxic chemicals on the site;

Council Member Guthrie provided the following comments:

substantially better than what exists today and would be maintained for the long term;
— Stated it is a plus to see some sort of guidance on expansion of residential structures inside the
agricultural buffer;

revised project;

— Thanked staff, neighbors, and the applicant for working out issues regarding distance between
the two homes, the landscaping, and fencing;
— Believes issue of substantial conformance applies to size, footprint, and location of the home;

between properties as possible;

— Acknowledged that the road issue was resolved;

about the lack of curb, gutter, and sidewalk on portions of S. Elm Street and noted there is a need
