Mount Hood second-story addition and neighbor privacy
Summary
A homeowner's revised second-story addition sparked the night's only split vote. The applicant shrank the addition and set it back from the southern neighbor, but the adjacent resident, John Park, says a second-story window still has a direct sightline into his bedroom and patio and asked for the window to be lowered one foot — a request the commission declined to require.

Planning Commission Meeting - Feb 24, 2026
A homeowner wants to revise an approved addition — 92 more square feet, a new gable roof, and relocated windows. The upslope neighbor at Mount Rushmore Road says the new window looks straight into his bedroom; commissioners instead balked at the bulk and mass created on the south side and continued the case for redesign.
