Ward 2 NAB Regular Meeting
Tuesday, January 20, 2026
Note: This summary is based on published meeting minutes.
What Happened
Ward 2 Neighborhood Advisory Board held a regular meeting on January 20, 2026, with routine officer elections and two zoning variance requests that generated community concerns but reached no decisions.
Key Decisions
APPROVED — Re-election of Board Officers for 2026 (Sean McCoy as Chair, Bill Schrimpf as Vice Chair, Kristen Montan as Secretary) — Unanimous — These officers will lead the Ward 2 NAB for the calendar year.
Debated But Not Resolved
LDC26-00035 (Roberts Front Setback Deviation) — Property owner wants to reduce front setback from 30 feet to 15 feet. NAB members questioned whether this would affect drainage and sewer systems. City staff said the setback change does not impact those systems. Community members raised concerns about stormwater runoff, erosion control, water leaching, and construction access impacts on neighboring properties — Continues to Planning Commission hearing on February 18, 2026.
LDC25-00034 (Spector Residence Grading) — Developer plans 12-foot grading fill on the property. Community members questioned whether this complies with Sunset Hills Subdivision CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) and raised concerns about long-term erosion. Council Liaison Duerr said the city does not enforce CC&Rs. Developer stated runoff issues were already addressed and approved by the city. Disagreement exists on whether the CC&Rs are still active — Continues to Planning Commission hearing on February 4, 2026.
What to Watch
None over $50,000.
Roberts Front Setback Variance (February 18) — Planning Commission will decide whether to allow the 15-foot setback. The outcome depends on how commissioners weigh drainage/sewer concerns versus community concerns about stormwater and erosion.
Spector Residence Grading (February 4) — Planning Commission will rule on the 12-foot fill. The key question is whether the developer's erosion control measures are adequate and whether old subdivision CC&Rs still apply.
