Slides depicting the original and current plans were shown. Chairman Lichtenfeld asked if Public Works has seen the newest proposal. Anna Krane informed the Chairman that approval from Public Works will be required. Joanne Boulton asked if the sidewalks meet ADA requirements. Mr. Rubin stated that the plan will comply with ADA when they submit to Public Works for the permit. Joanne Boulton asked if staff approves of the project. Susan Istenes indicated that staff has no objections. Hearing no further questions or comments and hearing none from the audience, Ron Reim made a motion to approve per staff recommendations. The motion was seconded by Scott Wilson and unanimously approved by the Board.

12 CITY BUSINESS – TOWNHOUSE DISCUSSION Director Istenes explained that she had not yet had time to draft a report; she wanted to note that although the land use code defines a townhouse, their use had somehow been dropped from the table of permitted uses and that this needs to be addressed. She stated that they will be allowable in the R4 through R7 multi-family zoning districts. Joanne Boulton asked what zoning district the current townhouse units are located. Director Istenes replied “R4”. Will Liebermann asked about the R3 District. Director Istenes noted that R3 is a duplex (2-unit) district; multi-family is considered to be 3 units or more. She stated she has no idea how these types of units got taken out of the code; she believes it was in error. Joanne Boulton announced that the Board of Aldermen has asked staff to address this issue while there is no pending townhome projects. Susan Istenes explained that the next meeting will include a public hearing regarding the townhouse issue.
