Chairman Wilson entertained a motion to adopt staff recommendation as result of public input for Section 5-404 (2) a) (2).~ 5-404 (2) (a) (5 ), Section 5-501, Section 5-600. Motion made by Mr. Blackwell,. Seconded by Mrs. Graves, Motion carried with no opposition= A ten minute recess was called here by Chairman Wilson and meeting convened at 8:30 p.m. 14) Section 5-700, Table B (Residential): Staff felt that a 45 ft. height for a single family neighborhood is an extremely high structure. Staff felt this to be a bit excessive. Chief Building Official David Paulissen explained why staff felt it best to leave 35 ft. as an appropriate height in a single family residential. • Mr. Boyle asked what the procedure was to change the height in an R-1 zone. David Paulissen told him the appeal procedure in the ordinance is how that would have to be done. If they had to go higher than the 35 feet, they would have to give reason before the Board of Adjustment. Chairman Wilson asked if there was a consensus or any objection to adopting recommendation that would leave the height restriction at 35 feet for a single-family detached and include 45 feet for duplexes, townhouses, quadraplexes and multi-family dwelling units according to citizen comments. There were no objections, so the commission moved to the second portion of Section 5-700. The next citizen comment on Table B relates to density for single family detached dwelling units. Chief Building Official David Paulissen explained that density figures are measured in units per acre. Staff did not see any problem with changing the density from 4.5 to 4.8 because it is still within the respective districts as set forth in the land use plan, and a change to the suggested figures should not impact the Comprehensive Plan. p •
