Zane Levin, architect, noted that concerns include site access, emergency situations, single-level living, and less overall site disturbance. Dan Teodoru, attorney for the applicants, noted that both of his clients are 77 years old.

Eddie O'Brien, the original developer of the subdivision, spoke in support of the application. He noted that there is a precedent for driveway variances within the subdivision, and that the cul-de- sacs are larger in the subdivision for safety reasons. Commissioner Mamula closed the hearing for public comment. Commissioners and staff discussed the cul-de-sac, process of submission of the application, elevation change, definition of steep slopes, the intention of the code, and whether the timing of the development of other houses on the road impacted whether this home could have a driveway there as well.
