“And I'll say this. I am in agreement with that. But I think that we do owe the developer the ideas that we have of what would fit here. Just like you say that they could eight units. Well, eight two-bedroom units is the same quantity of people in the same location. So I think we need to nail that down a little bit more, see where we are, to give the applicant a little better idea of where He can go to create a development that would pacify all of us.”

“I'll tell you where I am. I'm on a single family house with an ADU. Maybe a duplex. You can get to the units all different ways. to meet the character of this neighborhood on this block, mid-block, I think it would be a great location for a single family home with an ADM. I agree.”

“I'll say this for me, that I don't want to encourage it. I can't control how many people are going to be inside one single family home. I can't control the ADU. For me, I just didn't want to change the character of this neighborhood to that extent. Whether it looked like it, appeared to be, but if behind the front door was a quadplex, it's not what's next to it on either side. And if no neighbor came out and you guys, as a development community, wanted to start something new within this thing and the neighbors were for them, I could get behind it a lot more. I just can't do it with a…”

“I do want you to understand that that is the staff's recommendation and you're listening to all of us, so know that there is a definite separation between what I'm thinking and what staff thought on this proposal. I think they probably tried to reduce it to some, but I couldn't even get behind that.”

“While you say that single family is very difficult to get done here, everyone else on the block is single family except for the end.”

“Right, and the existing neighbors that have come here today have explicitly told us what they want, and I'm listening to them.”

“We'll lease it. So you're going to have somebody stand in front of each one of them on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday?”

“Trash. There is no place to put the trash on that site. What's the future plan? I'll say this. When you develop a piece of property, it's a stand-alone piece of property in my mind, and the development is stand-alone. It doesn't have anything to do with the fact that there's an empty piece of property across the street, because when that develops and you have no parking right there, there's 16 new people parking along, or 16 new potential cars, 14 new potential cars on 15th Street.”

“So those units, are they one bedroom, two bedroom?”

“I'm going with the same amount of people. I mean beds to me make a difference to it. I can get to the three stories. I need the amenities to work. I need to be able to park. I need to be able to have the trash in the right spots. and the building itself needs to fit the lot in the same character as the other buildings around it. Setback is a huge thing. When you look down the block and you're making a turn and they all line up, And that's just for me. I mean, I'm just telling you how I feel about it.”

“I mean, if you're going to say no restaurant, then does that mean no coffee shop? Because a small little coffee shop can operate. That's why we're trying to cap the limit at square footage. I think the number of bedrooms is really important, but again, the amenities within the land and the site, and parking is one of the things you gotta do. I'm not saying you're gonna have to have one per unit or one per bedroom, even that, but you gotta have something.”

“No, I think it's a different type of living. And again, I mean, you're the developer, and you know what you want more, and I like to go with the developer on the number of parking a lot. I think zero is just where I, maybe is my problem.”
