Sign (Hairboss University)  
Submitted by Joe Berdine, Signarama  
a) Staff notes the proposed sign would replace the existing sign.  
b) The Architectural Design Standards state the sign and associated lighting  
fixtures should complement the architecture of the building on which it is  
placed and should be placed in an appropriate location on the building  
facade. Question sign placement on building as it would not be centered.  
Staff notes the previous sign was placed above an awning that was since  
removed that included the address of the property. Question if the address  
could be placed under the sign in order for it to be better centered between  
the two windows.

similar corner boards, window types, or materials. Staff notes the  
applicant is renovating the pool house from a metal roof to asphalt shingle  
roofs as well as using hardie board siding.  
c) The Architectural Design Standards state All facades (including the rear)  
over twelve (12) feet long shall have at least one window or door opening.

Exterior Alteration (Window and Door Infill)  
Submitted by Kristy Rothman, HLS Architecture  
a) The Architectural Design Standards state large expanses of blank walls  
are to be avoided. Fenestration placement should be at a maximum of  
approximately every 12 feet. Staff notes two sets of doors are proposed to  
be removed and infilled at the north elevation and one window is proposed  
to be removed and infilled along the west elevation. Suggest insetting the  
brick infill while retaining the lintel and sills to better meet this  
requirement. False windows could also be explored.  
b) Staff notes the proposed signs and awning would be reviewed by the AHBR  
as a separate application.

Awning (Brew Kettle)  
Submitted by Mike Sheets, Bright Covers  
a) Staff notes the applicant is proposing a 1,364 square foot awning that will  
replace the existing window canopy.  
b) The Architectural Design Standards state awnings shall be retractable and  
made of canvas or other fabric on a metal frame. Awnings shall not be  
backlit. Awning colors shall be compatible with the sign and building  
colors. Staff acknowledges a traditional canvas awning may not  
complement the architecture of the building; however, suggest a design  
with a metal roof with thicker framing and posts to be more compatible  
with the existing structure. Compatibility is important as the proposed  
location is highly visible from the street.

2262 Weir Drive  
New House (2629sf Two Story Single Family)  
Submitted by Joe Bailey, Camden Builders  
a) Staff notes the rear elevation windows would be a mix of window types  
however; the Architectural Design Standards state windows not on the  
public faces of a building may be arranged more informally and may vary  
in size, but not style.  
b) The Architectural Design Standards state the building shall have a typical  
window used for most windows. A typical window can have slight  
variations and still be considered a typical window, such as a window that  
is smaller or larger. Staff notes the left elevation windows have a variation  
of size by are proposed as the same style.  
c) The Architectural Design Standards state doors and windows on the public  
faces of a building should be arranged so that they are regulated by a  
system of (invisible) parallel and perpendicular lines. Question if the left  
elevation windows could be revised to be more symmetrical.  
d) The Architectural Design Standards state exposed foundations and tie  
courses shall be of a consistent material on all elevations. Question if  
elevation accurately depict the grade.  
e) Revise elevation plans to include a material key, including siding, roof,  
windows and foundation materials.

c) Staff notes the Land Development Code requires side loading attached  
garages to be 25 feet from the side property line. The applicant is  
proposing to be approximately 22 feet from the property line. The  
applicant would need to revise the site plan to show the 25 feet or pursue a  
variance request through the Board of Zoning and Building Appeals.
