Mr. Sugar introduced this informal review for a new home by displaying the location, renderings of the home and describing the lot. Mr. Sugar reviewed the staff comments including the main mass in relation to the wing, the main mass being behind the wing, the garage roof slope, fenestrations and siding changes from horizontal to vertical. The Applicants discussed the design of this modern farmhouse, which is not designed to be a large building because of the size of the lot and the easement in the rear of the home. Mr Kalnitsky informed the Board that the front wing roof can be lowered and the main mass made higher. The Board discussed the combination of vertical and horizontal siding with positive comments. The issue of the main mass size in relation to the wing was determined to be a code issue that will need to be worked out. The garage roof style, viewable as a car comes down the cul-de-sac, is a concern of the board as well as needed fenestrations. The two main comments were the massing in the front and the garage roof.
