He asked why the affordability incentives were not utilized and noted that incentives only work if utilized. Margrit Novack submitted a written comment with concerns about future traffic on Butler. Ms. Lee offered that they were encouraged to try and maximize the site. They looked at a variety of options but the parking requirements, setback requirements, along with a few other things would not allow them to go to a higher density. Chris Kemmerly, on behalf of Miramonte Homes, added that they were constrained by the code with the slope ordinance, tree ordinance, parking ordinance, and the Regional Plan. With all the slopes on the property, it made it difficult to get more units. With regard to the affordability and sustainability incentives, Ms. Lee explained that the incentives provide for more density and they were not able to add more units because they had already maxed the site out. Councilmember Matthews expressed her appreciation for the thought put into providing a quality development for the community. There being no further comment, Mayor Daggett closed the public hearing. |
