problems with either park.

No adjustments to the agenda were requested.
2. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Grant Smith, 87975 Pine Street, Veneta
Mr. Smith addressed the Commission regarding his subdivision at the corner of Trinity and
Pine Street. Mr. Smith expressed concerns about a condition of approval requiring the
corner lot to be treated as a flag lot, which would force a house to face away from Trinity
Street with only a 10-foot setback from Trinity. He argued this would look out of place in
the neighborhood, contradicting the city's own code definitions of corner lots versus flag
lots. Mr. Smith requested the Commission find a way to correct this issue without requiring
him to apply for another variance.
