1727 Mayflower Lane  
Addition (Attached Garage)  
Submitted by Timothy Raggets  
a) Staff notes this case went to the April 10, 2024 AHBR meeting and was  
continued for the applicant to further study the design.  
b) The Architectural Design Standards state “New buildings and alterations  
shall respect the existing context and framework . The design of any  
building shall be judged in reference to its site and character of  
surroundings, not as an independent object.” “The City has a  
responsibility to maintain a high quality public realm and character.”  
Staff notes the applicant is proposing an approximate 16’ high bifold  
garage door design on the public face of the house. Staff notes the  
following:  
-
Question how the horizontal and vertical seams would appear when  
the garage is in a closed state. Submit a photo example of an existing  
bifold door, taken from a straight on perspective, to help the AHBR  
evaluate.  
-
Question the appearance of the garage door when in an opened state  
as the door opens outward. The submitted documentation suggests a  
resulting unproportional opening with a substantial projection that  
would mask the existing architecture.  
c) The Architectural Design Standards state “Attached garages shall not face  
the street except for new development with a front yard depth of 130 ft or  
more”. Based on such, staff notes a similar garage door design could be  
considered as a replacement; however, the proposed design adds additional  
prominence and visual impact than that of a typical garage door.

Sign (Wall & Ground Sign)  
Submitted by Mark Loboda  
a) The applicant is proposing to reface the existing wall sign and ground sign  
on the property.  
b) The Architectural Design Standards state the elements of the sign be  
consolidated into a minimum number of elements, whether words, symbols,

wall sign to better comply with this standard.  
c) The Architectural Design Standards state the lettering within a sign panel  
should not exceed approximately 70% of the height and length of the sign  
panel. Revise plans to show lettering dimensions on wall sign to verify  
compliance of this standard.  
d) The Architectural Design Standards state ground signs should be designed  
to relate to and share common design elements with the building and the  
sign(s) attached to the building. Question if the design of the ground sign  
meets this requirement.  
e) Verify the material used on the signs and how it will be applied to the  
existing panel.

like material must be used. Submit documentation of deterioration.

over twelve (12) feet long shall have at least one window or door opening.

mass.  
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 the window  
alignment in the dormer in comparison to the existing house.
