Koepf said that the rear roof extension should not mirror the front elevation, and they would be better off eliminating it. He said that the roof line should die into the valley for a cleaner look. Childs said that this would be a nice opportunity to change the west elevation gables and pull the façade in. Corkran asked about the existing grade and Becky said it was staying the same. Koepf said they need to see a finished grade with regards to a retaining wall. He said they need to see where the grade is going. Becky said that the addition is going on the current grades. Childs said to match the roof for a nice composition. Koepf said to lose the salt box on the back to clean it up. Childs suggested getting a Civil Engineer to look at the plans.

Childs said that they should keep the eave lines the same and do a different plate height. He also said to break up the composition and change the gables. Will said that the plate line will be the same. Koepf said that the removed dirt needs to be accounted for and that the grade needs to be better defined.

Some suggestions from the Board: They need to drop down the addition to break it up: Drawings need to reflect grade to water management: Keep plate line the same: Break up the wall: Break up the elevations and study the Village Design Guidelines.
