a) Section IV-3 (g)(1) of the Architectural Design Standards states that roofs on projections should match the roof material of the building (unless both roofs are flat) and to the extent possible, shall be same kind of roof. Natural finish metals such as copper, terne coated steel, or lead may be substituted for any roofing material. Staff notes that gable and shed roof projections are proposed, while the main mass has a hip roof. Additionally, staff notes that a metal roofing material is proposed.
b) Section III-1 (g)(8) of the Architectural Design Standards states that large expanses of blank wall are to be avoided. Fenestration placement should be at a maximum of approximately every 12 feet. Question if additional fenestration is needed on rear elevation to better meet this requirement.
c) Question proposed roof massing and if roof should be lowered. The proposed mass would result in a 35ft one story building.
d) Suggest reducing the amount of proposed stone and incorporate additional horizontal lap siding to be more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and darrowville corridor.
