The Design Review Subcommittee (DRSC) discussed the project, and made the following comments either individually or as a group:
The Subcommittee discussed the height of the building and moved forward with staff’s recommendation to maintain the existing building current height of 27’3”. The applicant agreed to make to modification and stay within the height.
Commissioner Crandell requested that an aerial map be provided in the future within the staff report to show the project site within the 300 feet of historic site. The project site is located across the street from the historic site.
The Project site does not change the massing of the house that faces the historic resident.
Chair Camp requested the applicant (Rob Williams) provide a description of the proposed project.
The applicant provided a clarification that the exiting garage door will be extended to meet the 18’ deep to meet the garage door rollup requirements.
The setbacks will be consist with exiting 5-foot setbacks, and not encroaching on the site.
Commissions had concerns with the Garage door materials being wood, as it takes away from the design. It is outside of the DRSC’s scope for review.
