COMMUNICA nONS: Current Mail Resolutions in packet and Planning Commission Journal V. OLD BUSINESS -- There was none VI. NEW BUSINESS A. RoseWind Planned Unit Development Fifth Amendment to the Rosewind Planned Unit Development Agreement LUP98-67 Mr. Randall discussed the findings of fact and conclusions. He indicated Exhibit C shows the south 20 foot easement for fire lane purposes on Lot 28, and shows the driveway curving in for access to Lot 19. Ms. Lynn Nadeau, RoseWind Cohousing Secretary, explained Exhibit C pointing out building locations for Lots 19 and 28 on a larger scale drawing. She noted the 20' x 20' square in . . . Planning Commission Meeting November 12, 1998 Page 2 the setbacks of Lot 28 which is reserved for access. Mr. Boles: Asked if there is any effect on the fire lane between Lots 27 and 18. Ms. Nadeau: It is only a fire lane for a certain distance and beyond that it is no longer a fire lane but a driveway. Mr. Randall said BCD recommends that the Planning Commission find the amendment is "not substantial" and does not require a public hearing and that the Planning Commission approve the proposal. Ms. Nadeau said when they did this non-profit, self-developed, self-managed planned unit development (PUD) that is their cohousing project, they designed the whole 9 acre site plan to replace the existing platting. Regarding setbacks, streets right-of-way, etc. in the PUD, RoseWind contacted the "outside world" -- non-RoseWind property owners; internal to the project, they made best guesses of what would be reasonable setbacks to create access to building lots, etc. It was 4-5 years ago that they were guessing exactly where the common house was going to go, now they are ready to build the common house. Probably within the next year the Planning Commission would probably see something else from Rose Wind wrapping up things with their last lots for sale, their common house being built, etc. The 10-year process will probably be over within 1-2 years. Ms. Nadeau said this is an internal thing. It has also been explicitly signed off in ink by the neighbors, by the RoseWind family in Lot 19, that it will be closer to their lot. Questions: Mr. Boles: Exhibit A, RoseWind letter to the Planning Commission, for the record, "O.K." initialed by DMW" -- whose initials are those? Ms. Nadeau: Her recall was they are the initials of Della Walker, that David Walker was approximately 5 feet away, that this was initialed in front of Ms. Nadeau. Mr. Worden: The west side of Lot 19, the boundary of the RoseWind properties -- is there any access to that side ofthe lot? Ms. Nadeau: That side of Robert Scalfs property has access on the Woodland Street right-of- way, Exhibit D. The front lots are accessed by Umatilla from the south, Landes to the west, and Woodland to the north. Woodland could go all the way to the northeast. Mr. Worden: His only concern was if they were maintaining an adequate fire lane on Lot 19. Ms. Nadeau: We have not changed it; at the time of the PUD, it was deemed to be adequate. She said she was actually the one who went through the fire code at the fire station to see they had all the rules of how many feet they needed for turn around, etc. . . . Planning Commission Meeting November 12, 1998 Page 3 Mr. Randall: Copies of the proposals were submitted to both Public Works and the Fire Department, and there were no concerns. Mr. Worden: So on the RoseWind plan there is no developed street there on the setbacks between Lots 19 and 28? Ms. Nadeau: That is not a street right-of-way; it was dedicated as a fire lane. Commission Discussion: Mr. Worden: The summary of findings of fact is appropriate. He said he wanted to make sure the driveway access on the corner is recorded, and thinks they are covered. Suggested amendments: Mr. Boles: to Findings of Facts: · #2, last sentence -- change to read: "The PUDA amendment will only apply to Lot 28." · #3, add sentence -- "The adjacent owners of Rose Wind Lot 19 do not object to the proposal. " Ms. Sherwood: to Conclusion #2 -- change to read: "The proposed amendment will provide a minimum 10 foot building separation. . ." MOTION Ms. Sherwood Approve the Fifth Amendment to the RoseWind Property Use and Development Agreement (PUDA) LUP98-67 as amended SECOND VOTE Mr. Boles Carried Unanimously by roll call, 5 in favor Chair Thayer announced this will go on to City Council, that no public hearing is required. Ms. Nadeau commended City Staff, the Planning Commission and City Council on their entire PUDA process. Election of Officers Chair Thayer noted the new Rules and Regulations state the Planning Commission will hold annual election of officers. She discussed having a nominating committee and said they have not done that before, but can if they wish, that it would require postponing their elections until December. . . . Planning Commission Meeting November 12, 1998 Page 4 Chair Person Chair Thayer opened nominations. Ms. Sherwood asked Ms. Thayer if she would be willing to run again. It was noted there was a nomination carried forward from the last meeting when Ms. Erickson reported she would not be attending tonight's meeting and nominated Ms. Thayer for chair Nomination -- Ms. Thayer agreed to accept a nomination as Chair for another term. MOTION SECOND VOTE Mr. Boles That nominations for Planning Commission Chair cease Ms. Sherwood Carried 4 in favor by voice vote, Ms. Thayer opposed Vice Chair Person Nomination -- Mr. Worden was nominated by Mr. Boles MOTION SECOND VOTE Mr. Boles That nominations for Planning Commission Vice Chair cease Ms. Sherwood Carried unanimously by voice vote; there was no opposing vote B.
