APPROVAL OF MINUTES Whitford/Repp m/s to approve the minutes of March 5, 2025 as presented. Voice vote: All AYES. Motion Passed. PUBLIC FORUM There was no one present wishing to speak. PLANNING ACTION REVIEW PLANNING ACTION: PA-T1-2025-00263 SUBJECT PROPERTY: 80 Hargadine Street OWNER / APPLICANT: Gary Caperna, Architect LLC for Bryan Cope DESCRIPTION: A request for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow an expansion to the existing garage and the attached roof-deck. The existing garage and attached deck are legal non-conforming structures due to the encroachment into the required front yard setback. There is currently a 0-foot setback with possible encroachment into the public right of way for the structures. The Land Use Ordinance allows for the expansion of a non- conforming structure through a CUP permit. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION:Multi-Family Residential; ZONING: R-2; ASSESSOR’S MAP: 39 1E 09BC; TAX LOT #: 4900 Severson provided a brief explanation of the project, and applicant Bryan Cope spoke briefly in support of his request. There was brief discussion of how best to address the garage door – either as presented in historic photos or as currently exists, with a row of windows to provide some light into the garage. Page 1 of 4 HPACCommittee Minutes DRAFT Whitford/Repp m/s to approve the proposal as presented. Discussion: It was agreed that doors to match the existing (with windows) or to match the historic treatment in the photos presented were equally acceptable. Voice vote: All AYES. Motion passed. LIASON REPORTS Council Liaison Jeff Dahle was absent. Community Development Staff Liaison/Planning Manager Derek Severson provided a brief report noting that the budget process for the coming biennium was getting underway, and that the city was looking at an approximately 15 percent increase in personnel costs while property tax revenues are capped and transient occupancy tax receipts are down. He indicated that at this stage in the process, all city departments were looking at about a five percent cut to last year’s budgets. He also noted that the Southern Oregon University Masterplan update would be moving forward in the near term. Victoria Sage provided a quick check-in on behalf of SERJAC.
