23. Comment: (Resident) The garage on the corner lot currently is detached
from the existing corner house.
Response: No response given at the meeting.
24. Comment: (Resident) Put the garages on the west side of the new house
and access them with a driveway from the alley.
Response: (Applicant) I would rather not do that.
25. Question: (Resident) Are any variances being applied for?
Answer: (Applicant) No, none are needed.
26. Comment: (Resident) I have lived in this neighborhood for 46 years and
still do like the diversity of homes in the neighborhood, both
age and style.
Response: No response given at the meeting.
27. Question: (Resident) How many new parking spaces will there be along
the alley?
Answer: (Applicant) There will be 10 new spaces.
28. Comment: (Resident) Depending on the materials you end up choosing
for the carriage houses, introducing some brick would
provide an upscale appearance in the neighborhood.
Response: (Applicant) I can certainly consider that.
29. Question: (Resident) Has the traffic impact of this development been
evaluated?
Answer: (Applicant) The City's Traffic Engineer did look at the plan
and determined that the need for a traffic study could be
waived.
16. Question: (Resident) Has there been a storm water assessment for this
project?
Answer: (Applicant) Yes, as part of the City's development review. I
cannot adversely impact surrounding neighbors.
17. Question: (Resident) Will there be a walkway between the new house on
Grant Avenue and the parking spaces on the alley?
Answer: (Applicant) No, not a fully defined walk.
18. Question: (Resident) What is the occupancy regulation on these lots,
dwelling units?
Answer: (Applicant) They are subject to the City's ordinance about the
maximum of 3 unrelated persons in each dwelling unit.
19. Question: (Resident) What are your rental rates going to be?
Answer: (Applicant) The rates will be $1,100 - $1,600 per month,
depending on the house.
20. Comment: (Resident) The scale and intensity of this proposal seems to
be out of context with the neighborhood.
Response: (Applicant) The West Side Neighborhood Plan and the City's
Land Use Code support this development plan.
21. Comment: (Resident) Although this project apparently satisfies the
intent of the Land Use Code, the reality is that there will be
too many houses, people in a small area like this.
Response: (Applicant) Your point is well taken. However, City Council
will have to be involved in further discussions since your
concern is really a policy issue.
22. Question: (Resident) Has Historic Preservation been involved with this
review? I am still concerned about the garages on the new
house facing Grant Avenue.
Answer: (Applicant) Yes, Karen McWilliams has been very involved
with the review of the proposed new houses.

9. Comment: (Resident) I would rather see the garages facing Grant Street
than more parking on the street.
Response: No response given at the meeting.
10. Comment: (Resident) Grant Street should actually be Avenue, not
Street.
Response: No response given at the meeting.
11. Comment: (Resident) If there was just one carriage house on the alley
that would be OK. With 3 carriage houses it is condemning
these homes to remain rentals.
Response: (Applicant) That is not necessarily true.
12. Question: (Resident) What do you own in this area?
Answer: (Applicant) Everything that is on the Project Development
Plan, all 7 lots and houses.
13. Comment: (Resident) I do architectural drawings and can help you with
creating a very nice, neighborhood sensitive project.
Response: (Applicant) I appreciate the offer but that does not fit my
development plan.
14. Question: (Resident) Currently there is a garage on the lot north of the
existing house right at the Grant Street/ Myrtle Street corner.
Will it be demolished?
Answer: (Applicant) Yes, it will be.
15. Question: (Resident) What about scraping the existing home at the
corner?
Answer: (Applicant) That house is structurally sound. I will give you
the phone number for Karen McWilliams, a City Historic
Preservation Planner, so that you can get information on the
City's demolition process.

2. Question: (Resident) You will be building both styles of carriages you
are showing?
Answer: (Applicant) Possibly, depending on the costs of the units.
3. Comment: (Resident) Regardless of the styles, if they are rentals they
could become run down.
Response: (Applicant) No, that is not the way I operate. Besides, I will
be charging premium rents.
4. Comment: (Resident) The carriage houses should complement the
houses on the fronts of the lots.
Response: (Applicant) Good point. I will consider that.
5. Question: (Resident) Are all the properties in your development plan
owned by the same person/property owner?
Answer: (Applicant) Yes, they are.
6. Comment: (Resident) The flagpole portion of the one lot seems to be
useless space, created just to put one more house fronting
Grant Street.
Response: (Applicant) That portion of the lot will not be noticeable from
the street. I do not allow fences on my properties so there
will be a physical connection.
7. Comment: (Resident) The probability of any of these houses being
single-family owner occupied is pretty slim.
Response: (Applicant) That could occur, depending on circumstances.
8. Question: (Resident) Garages in Old Town do not face the streets. The
new house with garages facing Grant Street is not in
character with Old Town. Is this house to be rented?
Answer: (Applicant) Yes, it is.

Current Planning
This is a project known as Grant Street Corners - Project Development Plan
(File #20-08). This request is for 1 new single-family detached residence
fronting on Grant Street and 3 new carriage houses fronting on the mid -block
alley that runs north - south between West Mulberry Street and West Myrtle
Street. A replat of Lots 13 - 20 of Block 1 of the Westlawn Addition is part of
this request. The new plat will be Lots 1 - 7 of Grant Street Corners. The 7
existing single-family residences on the properties will remain.
A Project Development Plan submittal, for review of the actual Site Plan,
Landscape Plan, and Building Elevations, was made to the City on July 11,
2008, and has been through 2 rounds of development review in the City. These
properties are located at the northwest corner of Grant Street and West Myrtle
Street. The properties are zoned NCM, Neighborhood Conservation Medium
Density.
................. QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS, RESPONSES .................
1. Comment: (Resident) The developer is showing 2 designs for the
carriage houses. He will probably pick 1 design for all 3
units. We want variety in the carriage houses.
Response: (Applicant) Yes, possibly 1 unit type will be used. These will
be rental units; however, premium rents will be charged.
