Resident tells board proposed rules risk unfairly restricting longtime homeowners
Summary
A public commenter said the proposed application of the pattern book to single‑family homes could prevent longtime owners from building what their neighbors already have and urged the board to treat existing owners fairly; the board recorded the written comment into the meeting record.
At the public‑comment portion of the meeting, John Steluto, a homeowner on Sunset Way, said he and other longtime residents oppose applying new restrictions to single‑family properties in ways that would make owners unable to realize the same development rights their neighbors previously exercised. "If I can't build what my neighbor built, that's not equitable," Steluto said, citing a petition he helped collect with 187 signatures.
Board members acknowledged the petition and staff said written comments will be included in the record. Staff reiterated that the meeting was an opportunity for discussion and that emailed and written comments submitted before the noon deadline would be accepted into the record.
