Attendees at the meeting included the following Garden Terrace property owners: Jessica Tolstad, Virginia Eldridge, Mabel Lee, David Eldridge, Kathy Goodall, Justin Taylor, Abdul Kargso (attending on behalf of Melinda Jackson), and Lester Williams. City staff included Hanson Hom and Debbie Pollart. Mr. Langon, the property owner and developer was also in attendance. To date, the planning application has received a recommendation for approval from the Planning Commission, and is anticipated to go before the City Council for final review and action in September. The purpose of the meeting, as outlined by Mr. Hom, was not to redesign the project, but to look at possible measures that Mr. Langon could take to address concerns expressed by Garden Terrace property owners over privacy, and property values. Garden Terrace indicated a preference for 5 units, with one unit being dropped on the south side of the property, which abuts Garden Terrace. Staff explained that with a positive recommendation from the Planning Commission, the developer was not required to redesign the project at this time in the process. Staff asked Garden Terrace owners what could be done with the existing design to address privacy concerns. The following table outlines the items discussed.
