Dustin Endres, Endres Custom Homes, was available for questions.
Commissioner Rubenstein commented that she believes the house is very large and not
keeping with the design of the neighborhood.
HRA Meeting -2- February 17,2015
Commissioner Elliott liked the design and believes the house is proportional to the lot size.
Mr. Endres responded that the garage is setback 20 feet so they did not build to the
maximum.
Ruthann Clay, 7301 Tenth Avenue, stated she believes this 2-story design does not fit with
the feel of the neighborhood which is made up entirely of rambler homes.
Don Clay, 7301 Tenth Avenue, stated his concerns regarding a one 2-story house amongst
ramblers and that there is not adequate tree coverage for the proposed design.
Mr. Endres stated that they tried to design a rambler with another buyer but were unable to
make it fit Richfield guidelines of a 3 bedroom home. He continued that this design is not a true 2-
story house since most of the square footage is located on the first floor.
Commissioner Elliott stated that he believes this is a good design for the neighborhood.
There are newer guidelines then when those homes on the block were originally built. When those
homes need to be upgraded these are the new guidelines.
The HRA consensus was to close the public hearing.
