PROCESS SUMMARY: Certain land use approvals granted by
HPC or P&Z require that Council be notified of the decision through
a brief staff summary. The notification is not a public hearing and
no applicant presentation or public comment has been accepted in
the past. During the Call Up Notice, City Council may uphold the
HPC or P&Z decision. Alternatively, Council may request more
detailed information be provided through a presentation by staff
and the applicant at a future meeting. After hearing the additional
project description, Council may uphold the boards’ decision or
may remand it to require reconsideration of specific issues at a new
public hearing. HPC’s or P&Z’s decision on remand shall be final.
BACKGROUND: On March 11th, by a 7-0 vote, HPC approved a
proposal to excavate a basement beneath the historic home at 125
W. Main, allowing setback variations related to existing conditions,
and a 135 square foot floor area bonus. Approval was also granted
for minor alterations to exterior features and landscape. Only the
basement excavation, deemed to be “Relocation” is subject to
notification to City Council.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: N/A

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommended approval of the project
with conditions that were incorporated into
HPC’s resolution. The historic resource is in a
somewhat deteriorated condition and is difficult
to view behind overgrown vegetation. The
applicant, HPC, staff, and neighbors discussed
the project at some length and expect the
project to result in a number of improvements.
A floor area bonus was granted only for the
purpose of basement expansion. Staff
recommends Council uphold HPC’s decision.
Recommended Motion
“I move to uphold HPC’s approval for 125 W. Main Street- - Minor Development Review, Relocation,
Setback Variations, Floor Area Bonus.”
