The applicant did submit changed to the proposed design based on the report comments. c) Staff notes the consultant recommended the addition inset from the east elevation to allow the existing house to be distinguished from the addition.

AHBR 24-135 2E. AHBR Application1727 Mayflower Lane Addition (Attached Garage) Submitted by Timothy Raggets a) Staff notes this case went to the February 28, 2024 AHBR meeting. Staff had comments regarding the massing of the addition as well as creating significant wall spans and lowering the roof height in order to encourage a strong main mass and secondary subordinate wings. b) Staff notes the applicant submitted revised plans to depict a lower roof height and the second story portion of the addition to be inset; however based on the revised elevations staff has additional comments. c) The Architectural Design Standards state large expanses of blank wall are to be avoided.
