COMMUNITY COMMENT David Frenkel, 4510 Lakeview Drive, shared audio from the January 8, 2019, Park and Recreation meeting where a Commissioner made a comment regarding him that he felt was a personal attack and requested the Commissioner be removed from service. Martha Moffett, 4929 Maple Road, commented on the recent approval of 50th and France Small Area Plan (SAP) and how property owners on Maple Road, 49th Avenue, and Townes Road were not included in the planning process but would be directly affected by the SAP. She explained their recent meeting with Member Staunton that requested interaction with the Planning Commission as plans moved forward, the importance to blend old with the new, and the need to respect homes values in this area by not cutting off light, addressing sufficient parking and traffic congestion, and not changing the character of their neighborhood. Dayna Deutsch, 4921 Maple Road, referred to the Planning Commission report on the 50th and France Small Area Plan that commented on the need for more open communication, especially for those neighborhoods most immediately affected. She requested additional meetings to review the SAP and stressed the importance of the buffer between residential and commercial areas while retaining the home proposed to be moved for the road and walking path. Frank Lorenz, 7151 York Avenue South, suggested the Council consider a request for proposal to better soundproof the Council Chambers to help with noise concerns during meetings. Janie Westin, 6136 Brookview Avenue, suggested a sunlight setback requirement for all new buildings that they be constructed with a step back of a certain distance on all sides to never cast a shadow outside its property lines at any time during the year. She said this setback would remove all objections from neighboring properties and increase solar panel installation and greenery. IV.A. CITY MANAGER'S RESPONSE TO COMMUNITY COMMENTS None. V.
