Applicant Presentation Applicant Allen Robinson and owner Erik Hove presented and answered Committee Member Questions. Committee Member Tregenza inquired about the 1 foot vs. 3-foot setback and asked if that was considered a variance.

Public Comments Michaeleen Moraz welcomed the applicant to the neighborhood and spoke in favor of the design but asked the start date and how long the project would take. Allen Robinson stated that the applicant wants to build as soon as possible and is working on getting building permits. Robinson noted construction costs have gone up and there is a lack of materials but hopes to start the project in the spring of the next year and will start before the two-year limitation on the approval. Committee Member Comments Committee Member Schmidt spoke in favor of the project and complimented the design with the garage in the back and incorporating the existing trees into the design. Committee Member Pauly also spoke in favor of the design and having the garage in the rear of the lot.
