6598 Stone Road (Informal Review)
New Residential Construction (Single-Family Dwelling, 4,113sqft)
Submitted by Quinn Miller, Peninsula Architects
a) The applicant is proposing to demo the existing house and accessory
structure on the property.
b) Staff notes the proposed house would be classified as a large mass type
within the Land Development Code. The large mass type is classified per
the following “This type has a complex massing with several large masses
attached to each other. It does not have a dominant (forward) main body,
but may have one or more central masses to which other masses are
attached. Most of the building is two stories tall. It may have more than
one entrance, and several subordinate wings or projections”
c) The Land Development Code states “the front setback shall not differ by
more than ten percent from the average of the front yard setbacks existing
on the two properties immediately adjoining the subject property, unless
approved by the Architectural and Historic Board of Review”. Staff notes
the proposed house would have a setback of approximately 230 ft. The
adjacent house to the north has a setback of approximately 60 ft. The
adjacent house to the south has a setback of approximately 130 ft. While
the proposed house would not be within 10% of the surrounding homes,
the house would be located on an approximate 5 acre property.
d) As the proposed house would be located to the rear of the property to the
south, staff recommends increasing the setback along this boundary,
moving the driveway further to the north.
e) As designed, the proposed garage would be considered an accessory
structure. Accessory structures must be located within the side or rear or
rear yard. The applicant could look at ways to further integrate the
garage with the main structure to be considered attached; however, also
note the Architectural Design Standards state “attached garage may not
be located within a wing or a central mass that is the most forward of all
the masses.”
f) The Architectural Design Standards state “The same roof shape must be
used throughout the building for all roofs, except for turrets, towers and
other unique masses, where a special roof may be used. Roofs may have
different pitches and orientation. Roofs shall not intersect a wall so as to
cause a valley.” Staff notes flat roofs are shown along with gable roof
forms.
g) The Architectural Design Standards state “At least one entrance must face
the street.” Revise to include an entrance along front elevation.
h) Submit a roof plan with the formal application to help staff and AHBR
better understand teh massing and roof forms.
