Public Comment (for any non-Agenda items) None Other Business Open Public Meeting Act (OPMA) City Attorney Heidi Greenwood provided staff and committee training on the OPMA. A. training New Business A. HPC19-020, 1059 Quincy Street Tamara Halligan of Terrapin Arch presented the application along with owners, Fritz & Anne Marie Reinman. Staff advised the proposed rear & side additions were Rear, side and front façade alterations to reviewable at the staff-level including the side addition departure needed for its location a Secondary SFR relative to the front facade. As such, HPC was asked to focus on the front façade alterations, which require the applicant to demonstrate a functional adaptation is nd needed. Terrapin detailed the existing small habitable area on the home’s 2 floor as a key basis for the front façade dormer additions. HPC recommended approval (4-0) of the project as presented with encouragement to the applicant to minimize the new front dormer sizes or mitigate the appearance of bulk. Topic Motions/Recommendation/Action B. HPC19-027, 1525 Lincoln Street Owners Daniel and Katherine Klassen represented their application to rehabilitate the home. Per the applicant’s drawing and City maps, the existing home is very close to Rear, side and front façade alterations to the minimum side yard setback (5’) from the west property line. The home’s front a Secondary SFR with possible need for façade may also be located too close to the north property line to prescriptively permit setback departure for each. the planned front porch addition. Owners have ordered a boundary survey for the property which, when received, will confirm the extent of setback departures needed for the project. Staff advised HPC the rear & side additions are generally consistent with adopted guidelines, subject to a possible side setback reduction needed from the west property line (e.g. a Type II departure review). The owner’s application documented how the nd front façade work (e.g. a front porch addition and revised 2 floor window openings) is a reintroduction of now-missing historic features. The replacement work would use modern materials (i.e. clad windows, pressure treated wood, asphalt shingles) in a design that is appropriate to the home without being a strict restoration. As an effort to replace missing front façade features, the changes proposed were not reviewed under the “functional adaptation” standard applicable to the previous application. However, the front porch addition may require both a side and a front setback departure approval to be constructed. The boundary survey work, once received, will provide direction on any further application review process that is required under code. HPC recommended project approval (5-0) as presented, including all side and front setback departures that may be needed for the construction.
