PAGE 3 OF 4 MINUTES OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF JUNE 12, 2024 Kevin Forbes, Adjacent Neighbor - I have been a neighbor to the subject site for 31 years. The house is a hodge-podge of additions and it is hard to tell where the original barn was. There hasn’t been much done for maintenance since the 1990s, and I don't know if it would even have valid structure if someone tried to remodel it. The neighborhood is in favor of the project going forward because it would better the neighborhood and improve property values. Steve Gong, Neighbor - We are in favor of the applicants redeveloping this house. Like Mr. Forbes said, it is in disrepair and has been empty for 6-9 months. It would be better to replace the house at this point, because I also agree with Mr. Forbes that the house is a hodge-podge. Closed Public Comment. Commissioners discussed the matter. MOTION: Motion by Chair Raspe to continue the public hearing for 32 Euclid Avenue to a date certain of June 26, 2024. Seconded by Commissioner Barnett. VOTE: Motion passed unanimously.
