going to be what is sent on to Council. Commissioner Johnson inquired if that needs to be
reflected in the motion. Staff responded that there may be a memo for the motion.

course and inquired if there is anything that Staff thinks might pose a problem as far as the
completion of the Hosking's overpass. Staff responded that condition 9 speaks to this issue.

Staff report given, commissioner Blockiey inquired how many people were notified on this project
given the lack of comments pertaining to this project. Staff responded that most of the comments

responded that usually schools will call and have negative comments. Staff pointed out that they
did not get these phone calls.
Commissioner Andrews inquired if the parcel on the north end would be responsible for
developing the access to the vacant piece behind it, or if there would be some kind of sharing.
Staff responded that typically they just have "him" build the whole thing, as he is asking for a GPA
and Zone Change and he will do the boundary street improvements.
Commissioner Johnson inquired if Staff has heard from the property owner to the east. Staff
responded that they have not. He further inquired what kind of buffer exists currently on the R-3.
Staff responded they do not know if it is fully built out. Commissioner Johnson responded that he
is interested to see what kind of buffer is on the R-3 so they can see if they need to do something
equal on the other side of this R-1, because it is cramming an R-1 in between two high density
uses. Staff responded that they were hoping that eventually it would become one big
development.
