424 WEST OAK PUD - FINAL. #40-92B
Steve Olt, Project Planner, gave the staff report recommending approval. He stated that the
project had been approved at preliminary with the condition that there be additional landscaping
at the back of 120 S. Sherwood.
Mr. Olt showed a map of the PUD.
Mr. Olt said that at this point in time, the staff was looking for the intent of the applicant
regarding that landscaping condition.
Don Richmond, co -applicant with Lynda Williams, and co-owner of 424 W. Oak, stated that
they would be future owners of a Victorian home to be built at 120 S. Sherwood.
Mr. Richmond stated that the reason for the delay in meeting the landscaping condition, was that
the applicants had turned part of the project over to CSU to pursue a grant through the State
Department of Water Conservation.
Mr. Richmond said that his ongoing interest in energy conservation had led to the concept of
this house being used as a demonstration project. Mr. Richmond cited contact with the State
Office of Energy Conservation and passed out related materials [attachment to original Minutes].
Mr. Richmond assured the Board that it would be provided with a detailed landscaping plan.
Member Cottier stated that she was the Board member who originally requested the landscaping
condition, since she wanted to ensure that the property at 120 S. Sherwood had the best chance
of keeping its residential character. Member Cottier said that it was her understanding that there
would be just a fence between this property and the properties where houses were being
converted to offices. She added that she did not believe that the fence alone was an adequate
buffer.

Mr. Richmond made an assurance of adequate buffering.
Member Strom said he wondered that since the grant application was still in process, if it wasn't
a "cart before the horse" situation procedurally.
Tom Peterson, Planning Director, stated that he believed staff had reached a resolution regarding
the situation. Mr. Peterson explained that since a structure needed to be built at 120 S.
Sherwood, the suggestion was to attach a condition to the final, stating that the landscape plan
be approved by Planning staff prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Member Strom asked for some clarification on the grant.
Mr. Richmond gave more details on the grant and eligible energy conservation measures.
Chair Walker asked when the grant applications were due.
Mr. Richmond stated that they were due in December, with awards being announced several
months after that. He added that the applicant should know more within a few months. Mr.
Richmond emphasized that the grant application via a public agency was requested of him by
the State Office of Energy Conservation.
Member O'Dell asked Mr. Richmond if he planned to live at 120 S.Sherwood.
Mr. Richmond answered in the affirmative.
Member O'Dell asked for clarification on the demonstration aspect of the house.
Mr. Richmond stated that the house would be part of the "Parade of Homes" tour in 1994, with
two months committed to holding Open Houses.
Chair Walker asked for clarification regarding construction sequence vs. the grant application
and award process. He noted that many of the eligible grant activities were tied to structural
needs of the house.
Mr. Richmond stated that many of the grant items were activities which would normally occur
at the tail end of construction, and that applicable construction for infrastructure such as
plumbing was designed with the grant possibilities in mind.
Member Carroll stated that he was satisfied with the staff condition attaching issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy to landscape plan approval.

approval or Board approval.
Mr. Peterson said that staff approval was being suggested, but that Board approval was another
alternative.
PUBLIC INPUT.
None.
PUBLIC INPUT CLOSED.
Member Cottier said that regardless of involvement with a grant application, that she would still
like to see landscaping that distinctly separated the 120 S. Sherwood property from the rest of
the complex. She added that she would be more comfortable with the landscaping approval
coming back to the Board.
Member Cottier moved for approval of 424 W. Oak - Final, with the condition as stated
by staff, except that the landscape plan approval come back to the Board.
Mr. Eckman advised that as a part of the motion, that Member Cottier mention what she was
looking for in the landscaping, such as she had mentioned earlier.
Mr. Peterson suggested incorporating her clarifying remarks as part of the condition.
Member Cottier asked if the clarifying remarks could be added to the motion.
Mr. Eckman answered in the affirmative.
Member O'Dell seconded the motion containing the more detailed condition.
Member Strom shared that he was uncomfortable with a condition being placed on final
approval. He stated that only because of the pending grant application and the related desirable
and scientific goals, would he support the motion.
The motion passed 7-0.
