Not item-specific public comments? General public comments? No public comments? Okay. Minutes? Any comments on the minutes? A couple of corrections.
Elliot Kaye- Any other comments on the minutes? Can I have a motion to approve the minutes as amended?
Elliot Kaye- Second. Do I hear a second? All in favor? Aye. Minutes are approved as amended. Okay, quasi-judicial items.
Thank you. I Have a table table item 7a 1545 Northeast 104th Street. Do I have a motion to untable it?
Thank you. any questions from the board to the planning director hearing none would the applicant like to discuss I guess how you adjust our revisions from our last meeting yes thank you
Any questions from the board to the applicant?
You have any more questions? I got a question for you. If you could put the screen on sheet A105. Which is an elevation view, east side elevation view. My question is on the building height, do you have an error in your plans there? You say 30 foot max building height, yet you show the parapet wall going above that. IS THAT CORRECT OR WHAT'S GOING ON THERE?
AND IS THE BUILDING HEIGHT FROM THE FINISHED FLOOR? YES. SO I THINK THAT MAY BE WHERE THE BUST IS. I THINK YOU'RE SHOWING IT AT THE FLOOD ELEVATION?
I got it. A105, the elevation view east, so keep going.
All right, so now go to the left side of this drawing. Where the – right there – is there – can you zoom in a little bit? Go down a little more. So right there. I guess we just have to get those straightened out.
So what is actually... It's really kind of hard to get it from this. I guess I've got to add those... numbers, the actual top of parapet height?
8-104, the previous page, you're showing 28 feet top of parapet from your finished floor? So the actual top of parapet is 28 feet from finished floor? So then you're actually got two feet of reserve there to the maximum?
All right, so I guess my comment's going to be you'll have to straighten those numbers out eventually. Any other questions to the applicant from the board? Brandon? Mike? Very good. I'd like to now open this up for public comment. Any public comment on this application? Once, twice, gone. All right. I guess I'd like to hear a motion on this application or discussion. Any discussion from the board? Can I have a motion?
Second. I have a motion and a second. All in favor? Aye. Application passes. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you for addressing our comments. Thank you. Have a good night.
Item 8A, 9401 Northwest, second place, Vivian Rizd and Vivian Rizd, revocable trust. Planning director. And is the applicant here? Okay. Good, good. All right. We're not ready for you right now. We're going to discuss with our planning director, and then I'll bring you up. Thank you. I was ready. I just needed to make sure the applicant was here.
discuss the project with us. State your name, address.
Thank you. All right, can you, I guess, just walk us through what you guys are doing?
Thank you. Questions from the board to the applicant?
Yeah, I had the same question as you. It looks like you're raising the roof, raising the elevation of the eave or the bottom of the roof by quite a bit. From existing elevation of 8.2 to 12.0. You're right.
So that whole roof's coming off? Yeah. Putting a whole new roof on.
Yeah. And then you're going back with the same roof material, essentially, that's there now.
Okay. Any other questions from the board to the applicant?
Very good. I'd like to open it for public comment. Any public comment on this application? Hearing none, do I have a motion? I'll move it for approval.
All in favor? Aye. Aye. Application passes. Thank you. Thank you. Good luck. Thank you. Item 8B, RSP 2537, 133 Northeast 100th Street. The applicant, Sebastian Olarte. Planning Director? Is Sebastian here or a representative? Okay. Thank you.
Thank you. Questions from the board to the planning director? Would the applicant like to discuss the project with us?
Thank you. Questions from the board to the applicant?
I got just a comment on your plans. The roof material you're proposing is the barrel terracotta tile? I noticed the table, like on your elevations, for item number 30, which kind of points at the roof, says flat roof concrete tile. No, we wouldn't. So that's a typo. Correct, yes. So that'll have to be corrected. Yes. Any other question? Brandon?
just have one uh additional so you're demoing the house that's there now correct correct yes okay any other comments discussion is there any way um with a proffer from the applicant that we could try to get this thing passed at this meeting Without tabling it?
I don't think they would. Well, the landscaping may change the site plan, but the other would just be changing the pitch of the roof, but that may be something you had to go back to your client with anyway, right?
The other thing is the impervious, yeah, you can just take a foot off your driveway or something and probably meet your impervious.
Yeah, I mean, I see the impervious as easy. You can take a foot off the driveway. I don't know. I don't know if I agree with that.
No, your calculations, I'm sure, are fine. I mean, they were just so close, I was just trying to help the applicant out.
So, yeah, it sounds like there might be a few things that you got to do to come back. If you're okay with that, we can table this.
Couldn't this piggyback on the fact that it's already been advertised?
Well, the applicant needs to be aware of it, so he wouldn't be able to come back until September.
Any public comment on this application? No public comment. Any further discussion? Do I have a motion?
All in favor? Aye. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Next application, RSP 2538, address 101, Northwest 100th Terrace. Applicant, owner Mason Fox and Christina Rodriguez.
Thank you questions from the board to the planning director With the applicant like to discuss the application I
Any questions from the board to the applicant? Hearing none, I'd like to open this for public comment. Any public comment on this application? Board discussion? Motion?
Do I have a second? Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. RSP 2539, owner Neil Cantor, address 1165 Northeast 104th Street.
Well, okay. If I can get out. No, we're going to make you stay.
Thank you. Questions from the board to the planning director? Hearing none, would the applicant like to discuss the project with us?
So like a marble-type stone or something?
And then on the top left, the dark, is that just paint or is that a material there giving you different colors? That will be paint. That's just a darker paint.
Thank you. Any other questions from the board?
Fantastic. I'd like to open this up for public comment. Any public comment on this application? Hearing none, do I have a motion? Motion to approve subject to staff conditions. Do I have a second?
All right, moving right along. 8E, RSP 2540, 318 Northeast 101st Street. Owner, Sebastian Olarte, SRP Investments Group.
Questions for the planning director? Would the applicant like to discuss the project with us?
What's the ratio that comes up to? 0.573.
Any other questions for the applicant? Any public comment on this item? Question? Are you public comment? Or are you the owner? The next door? All right, so it's public comment. I'm opening at the public comment. So please, come to the podium, and you've got to state your name and address, just so it's on the record.
Any other comment? No, thank you. Thank you. Any other public comment on this, please?
There is a time limit, you know, on public comments. Three minutes?
Well, we may approve it tonight. That hasn't been decided yet.
All right, any other public comments? Hearing none, board member discussion on this item?
It's in the public swale though. I don't think that's part of the construction plans, right? That would not have to be a special permit with the public works department? It would feel like that's a mistake.
But in the public swale, that's a special permit with the Public Works Department, right? Correct.
And it seems like the other concern was the pitch of the roof. If the applicant offers to proffer to adjust that pitch, is that something we can leave to the pitch and the impervious ratio, right?
I don't know what adjust his design to come into compliance with that at the planning directors.
Any further discussion before I ask for a motion?
Thank you Brandon. With that said, any further discussion?
Do I have a second? Second. All in favor?
Application passes. Item RSP 25-42, 62 Northwest 109th Street, owner, Premium Ventures, LLC, applicant, Martin Teresee. Planning Director.
Thank you, sir. Thank you. Questions for the planning director?
So let me understand. So you, I mean, it's, so he's got all the mechanical, electrical, sanitary, and plumbing.
So in other words, we don't need all the E sheets or the M sheets. Yeah. Or the P sheets. And the S is the structural, I assume. Yeah.
Okay. Any other questions for the planning director? That's it for me. Would the applicant like to tell us about the project?
And that's about it. Thank you. Any questions from the board for the applicant?
Discussion items. Planning zone board annual report to village council. That's next. Got it. Discussion item? I guess whose item is that?
All the boards have a report they provide. Is that correct?
Did we submit a report last year? Do we know? I doubt it. She told me no. Oopsie. Okay.
I think we need to submit one. Now, let me ask the board. Does anybody want to? What's this we? You've got a frog in your pocket? I've got a board right here. I've got four people on the board. Does anybody want to draft or help me draft? Send it to me and then I'll... Is it a requirement?
There probably only needs to be five sentences.
If it's in the code, let me read the code. Yes, we'll give them a report. I'll give them something. So if you guys have any comments or anything you want to send me, I guess you got us. How do I communicate with them?
But as far as, you know... Why? We're not voting on it. There's no action to be taken.
I can't just draft something and send it to... I mean, I would like my board input.
Can they send it to our planning director? Yes, I would rather you route it through staff. Copy all board members on it.
Think it through, but I guess in the meantime, send whatever comments of what we did, I guess, but basically the...
We'll make a motion and you can delegate me to basically submit a report.
IF IT GETS TOO COMPLICATED, THEN JUST TELL THEM WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE PROVIDING ONE.
I'll draft it on behalf of the board and send it to Isabella.
Second. Do we have a draft of one of these that's been submitted in the last five years?
All right, I got a motion and a second. All in favor? Aye.
So send... Our planning director, any comments, discussion, issues? I'll sign a couple of things. It's going to be bullets. I write in bullets. Keep it simple.
I think that was that process that the board put in place where the council put in place where the boards give them
Can I add stuff to their agenda? Or I thought only the council can add stuff. That determines their agenda.
I thought the council determines if they want to make it.
Did you not give me some language on this item? You're the one that put it...
And that's fine. I mean, if I need to... follow up on this email and say, please put it on the next council agenda.
I'm going to ask Brandon to be our speaker on our behalf on this item.
So I'll follow up on this with Isabelle and ask that it get put on the next.
No, we're just trying to, you know, it's trying to follow the right change.
You have any other items? No, sir. All right. I guess we're on discussion items, I guess, with the planning director.
Now, my question is, we already had one workshop on it. And I've asked, I guess, Joe to give us a summary or some sort of a report or some sort of... Conclusion of that workshop we've already had, A, and then B, what is the objective of a second workshop on it? And how do we formulate a, and I think as a board, it'd be nice to get an agenda from you for us to discuss here prior to the meeting.
There's been comment that there would have been more participation.
I remember I went to the workshop. It was not particularly well attended.
It'd be nice if you guys could send the board the agenda that you guys are anticipating. And then if we have some comments, we'll make some comments, give you some ideas to maybe add to it so we can make sure we cover everything we need to cover.
So give us the PowerPoint with the bullets so we can make sure that we cover... anything that's important to us. I suppose what I could do is... Discussing as far as our district changes. Is that what we should do? Or send us to Powerpoint. Send the board to Powerpoint.
So you can send us the PowerPoint presentation and give us an opportunity to comment?
All right. Any other board member comments? Yeah, just a request.
Yeah, I don't know if we want to hold hostage all of these applicants to listen to our board discussion. The applicants that are here really care about our board discussion, except when we're discussing their application.
Yeah, we put minutes together for everybody.
And I'm not going to be in attendance. So I guess the vice chair, Dan, if he's going to be in attendance, we'll chair it, hopefully. Hopefully. And any other before we adjourn? Do I have a motion to adjourn?
