Board’s consideration.

lot.

18” from the face of the wings. Staff notes the garage wing is proposed in

line with the main mass.

1101 Barlow Rd (Ellsworth Meadows Golf Course)

New Construction (Clubhouse)

Submitted by Trent Wash

a) Staff notes this application was approved by the Board at the December

13, 2023, AHBR meeting.

b) During a follow up site inspection, Community Development staff observed

changes in design. Staff has prepared the attached document depicting the

observed changes.

c) Staff notes the following design changes are in conflict with the

Architectural Design Standards

Section IV-4 (d)(3) of the Architectural Design

Standards state that the materials used in any mass must be

applied consistently on that mass on all sides of the structure.

Staff notes the installation of horizontal siding on the front

elevation projection. This could be remedied by replacing the

horizontal siding with vertical to match the rest of the building

or taking the horizontal siding back to an inside corner and

painting the opposite 6” return gray.

b. 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. Staff notes fenestration issues on

the side and rear elevations; however, the AHBR could

consider granting a waiver based on the significant setback of

the structure and fact the windows are not located on the front

facade.
