Submitted by Chris Coblentz, Coblentz Homes
a) Verify grade line is accurately depicted on submitted elevations.
b) Section IV-3 (g)(2) of the Architectural Design Standards states that projections which extend out from the mass to which they are attached more than five feet will be treated as wings, except for open porches, and single-story additions off the rear of multi-story dwellings. If the roof line of the addition intersects the roof line of the existing dwelling, then the addition shall be classified as a wing. Staff notes that the proposed primary suite projection extends forward approximately 9 ft from the main mass. Revise proposed projection to meet this requirement.
c) Section IV-4 (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 a metal roofing material is proposed.
d) Section III-1(g)(8) of the Architectural Design Standards state 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 left and right-side elevations. Suggest the installation of gable vents to better meet the requirement.
e) Suggest the applicant utilize a smooth-finish vinyl siding rather than a simulated wood-grain finish.
