VPC DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDED STIPULATIONS: 
 
One member of the public registered to speak in support for this item. 
 
Enrique Bojórquez, staff, introduced himself and provided a presentation on this 
case noting the location of the site, existing zoning, and proposed use. The 
requested modifications to the case stipulations for Z-142-03-7(8) were presented 
and the new proposed site plan was shown. He then invited the applicant to provide 
a brief presentation to the committee. 
 
Zach Haldiman, with the applicant, introduced himself and discussed the proposal 
to modify the existing zoning case stipulations to allow him and his family to place a 
second home on the property. He showed the proposed site plan, indicating the 
location of the house and stated that the horse stables that were depicted in the 
original site plan had been removed. He is open to dedicating street right-of-way 
along Beverly Road, but due to the construction costs he is not able to afford these 
improvements while operating a small-scale family farm. The requested stipulation

modifications were discussed, and he added that his family has lived in this area 
since 1984, with other siblings living in the area and he is a United States Marine 
Corps veteran. 
 
Greg Brownell asked if there had been any community input received. Mr. 
Haldiman responded that five people had contacted him since he sent the notice 
letter, and all were in support. 
 
Fatima Muhammad asked on the distance between the new proposed home and 
existing homes in the area. Mr. Haldiman responded that the new home is about 
20 feet from the eastern property line. 
 
Ms. Muhammad asked for clarification on the square footage of the new home. Mr. 
Haldiman discussed the size of the new home proposed. 
 
Marcia Busching asked staff whether the Street Transportation Department had 
provided comments on this case. Mr. Bojórquez responded that other city 
departments are notified when a new case is filed, but comments are usually 
provided directly to the Planning Hearing Officer staff. 
 
Mr. Brownell asked if any fire hydrants were in the area. Mr. Haldiman responded 
that the nearest fire hydrant is between 60 to 70 feet away. 
 
Vice Chair Marchuk asked if the applicant was willing to retain Stipulation No. 2.d 
in case the proposal changed in the future. Mr. Haldiman responded that he has no 
problem with retaining the stipulation for the future and discussed previous issues 
with livestock eating the perimeter landscaping. 
 
Vice Chair Marchuk asked for clarification on the right-of-way dedication and street 
improvements required along Beverly Road. Mr. Bojórquez responded that new 
development is typically required to construct the street infrastructure adjacent to 
the site and stated that the Street Transportation Department will likely be providing 
comments to the Planning Hearing Officer staff regarding this request. Mr. 
Haldiman responded that he had not heard back from the Street Transportation 
Department after attempting to contact this department. 
 
Chairwoman Daniels asked staff to unmute members of the public wishing to 
speak one by one. 
 
Neal Haddad, member of the public, supports this request due to the use of the 
property and activities that help the community. He discussed the background of 
the applicant and requested that the committee approve this request. 
 
Chairwoman Daniels asked for an applicant response, further discussion, or a 
motion.
