VI. STAFF'S CHOICE

Director White reviewed the case for Signature Senior Living Cas e #USE2014-00 3 . The
applicant requested a letter to assist with financing stating that th ey are permitted to build
134 units. An Administrative Decision to allow the applicant to have 134 units was m ad e
after review of the parking plan and other revisions to the site plan. The d ecision c an be
appealed , in writing, within 30 days from the date of this meetin g . The project was
approved as a Conditional Use that must be reviewed annually. The applicant is op e n to
pursuing other options with regards to parking should it become an issue in th e future.
Mr. Bleile stated that he agreed with Director White's decision , Mr. King concurred.
Mr. Neubecker asked the Commissioners about upcoming meetings and if they wished to
cancel the second meeting in December. It was decided that they would make that
determination at a later date depending on whether or not a case needs to be brought to
public hearing. The next meeting is November 4th which is election ni g ht, however that
would not interfere with holding a meeting .
