6.b Public Comments_EricksonRodsjo Variance Public Comments
Received via email on February 3, 2022
I am writing with regard to the request for variances from Paul and Sue Rodsjo, in order that
they might construct their “settler’s cabin.”
I have lived for the past 21 years at 21590 Pomroy, two lots north of the Rodsjos.
Since the Rodsjos cannot build behind their house, I would request as conditions for aware
of variance that:
1) conifers be planted (6 feet tall at the time of planting) to screen all sides o f the cabin
from Pomroy Avenue and
2) the color of the cabin would be close to the color of the current trim on their house
– a toned-down reddish brown
I attended the site visit and have spoken with Sue about these issues. She expressed
willingness to comply with both stipulations. The more essential is, of course, screening from
the road—I absolutely do not want to drive down Pomroy and feel I am in some kind of theme
park!!
I am also a bit concerned about Airbnb status but am not familiar with city ordinances about
commercial operations like this.
My understanding is that you will add my concerns / requests to those you present to the
Planning Commission and City Council members.
Thank you very much,
Rita Erickson
