Submitted by Joshua Franchetti
a) Staff notes this project went to AHBR as an informal review on November

height on all facades, adding a window to the east elevation, lower the
dormer height on the south elevation, incorporate similar design and
details to all roofed patio areas, and have an overall more consistent
window design. Staff notes the applicant revised the elevations to show
these changes. Question if the exposed foundation could be at a water
table height to match the stone in the columns.
c) The Board also questioned adding a window to the right of the chimney,
the applicant did not make this change.
d) The applicant did revise the floor plan to show pilasters on the south
elevation (where the simulators are); however, applicant should verify the
design.
e) The Architectural Design Standards state the main body must be the
largest visible mass. Staff notes the Board discussed this and finds the
proposed massing acceptable as the main mass is parallel with Barlow
Road and is setback approximately 400 feet from the road.
