ashe could go to find clarification on apr1raisal requ:ireamienits and was unsucacaessfu:l. Ha
said he still wanted to 'build' a singlla-farn:ily home ori the property. He worried thea_
proposad amendments would t:ightean the coca in a way thal would furnhear shrink his
building envelope. He said others Glenmorriaa neighboias .ahaied his aonaarn. He asked thea
City to affear the complete taxi of 1ha reawiitllen acadea slaff proposed to publlic scrutiny

allowing dans:ity transfklii an such a lot. Ms. Farlaefthi`iniiou said his lot could servea as a
aase study oft whail might be done on a totally eancumbaPed lot. She said the current code
allowed him to transfer deni.aity.to somepllace outside the iie.aouraea arena, but his lal was
basically a rav:inea with a struarn lhraugh it, and with hale ly any f at area ori it. When

Flrapearlies. She clarifieid tf a proposed amendments would not areata any new ones. She

A u d r ev Mattison , 2929 Gkin E asthis Road, said th a ti metabl a was too ° `aggresisive," and
the Pllannirig Commission ,ihoud first aderess the changes necessary] to comply willh
Metro and Olen slow the process down and refer the reist of the Sar.isilive Ilands
amanditieirits to an ad hoc aomm'inc i (which would incilude at toast three awneni of
property that featureid sensitive lands on it). SHe said the publics neadee more tirro to
reviciw tr a proposed changeis.
Earl Ecivin, 16459 Lexington Court did noll come forward to lleslify where cialleid.
Kir h Sm ith, 19847 Springbr ook C aurt said it hes praposed changes want far beyond the
min:imiurr, requirements of Metro ' litla 131. Ela heild that thea correct pnoceiss would be to
examinei thea maps final; so owneirs would knciw tf a r praparty would bei impacted, and
then modify the ciode. He asked what wou d happen if 11 he C:i q did riot meet Metro's
deadline. When asked, Mei. Smith clarified thall hei Had riot dead the supplemierital staff;
report, which ider.itifieic whichl changes were necesaarN la satisfy Metro. Staff advised
that Metro ciould choose to withhold transportation funding if, the C:iq was not in
compl:i anae.
Ilaiuren Hu2bes, 18711 Wcistvicwv Drive, recalled al the last heia>tin8 she Had HaaAc' that
she would riot be alloweid to rebuild her hause on the samie footprint :if it were de4royed
in a catalstiaph:ici event, but she had beien told shei might bei able to get a variance. She
expl ai neid tr_at shle owneid a 231,500 sq. ft. lot tHal was zoned. RI -115 and was not . d:i Vi dabl e
and thail her housci had been cionstruclad :in 1985: She said the "pralected reisouncei"
would actually be the little ditch thail ran through Her backyard, and the praiected area
would ciovar about 10,000 ;iq. ft. of hlen bank} and that she would not be allowed to enjoy.
SHe held the tree code ahead} offered plenty of pnotacit:ion. MIs. Hughes said the variancie
proams would require inordiniata t:imie and efforl just to rebuild an thle sama footpiftit, and
it was unn€iciessary ane unfair, parlicularly for homiea shat were not impacted by the
sensitive lands ordinance when they weme bui;ll, and were an lot;i tEl were not dividable.
She asked the Commissioners if that was really what the code irtenided. She acid the
pending resounce buffer would impacit faun properties or her stred and ran through the
house on cine lol. She urgad lhei Cammii;isioners to go back th>louEgh thea code and
differentiate between undiv:idable, developed lots, and those that were nal.
Dlwiinig the quealioning per.'ad, Ms. Hughes cilarifiad the ditch was :iorriatimas dry, but the
water could swela to two feint wide and once foot deep when it rair.ied. Shc que:ilionied why
the City would want to protect something lake] that and diminish her property rights. She
ciantended the publ:ia was not fully aware of the proposal and would be shlooked to leaarn
about il. Wl:eini asked, she said she found oul about .the pandirg d0s:ignalion in March,
when she necieived a nnlica and was invited to an opein house. She fell the poinding
designation was mostly due to the neighbor's twee canopy, so she invited staff out to the
lot to talk about :ill. During the fieild visit., thea staff peirson saw the little ditch ire the
bacikyanc and noticied that the dnainageway also went through her r.ieiighlbors' propertieis.
