Ms. Krickovich introduced the application by displaying photos and elevations of the house,
describing the project, and reviewing the staff comments and recommendations .
Mr. Joe Franzee, architect, and Ms. Loren Marshall Flynn, homeowner, described the project
with a five car garage and master suite. Mr. Franzee noted: The side setback requirements are
met, that traditional carriage style doors will be used, that the vertical band is for the optics of
the design, and that a roof plan was not part of the submittals.
The Board, applicant, and staff discussed: That the addition is a larger mass that the existing
house, that the Board is willing to make an exception to the massing because of the distance
of the house from the road, that from the road the addition does not seem larger than the
house, that the cupolas are not as dominant in the revised drawings, that the casement
windows have the same grid type as the existing windows, that the vertical siding at the
garage doors is on a different plain than the rest of the mass, and the consistent use of vertical
pilasters at the garage doors.
Ms. Flynn and the Board discussed using a standing seam metal roof on the two-story portion
of the addition, after the discussion the Board agreed asphalt shingles should be used, as
submitted on the plan.
Mr. Workley made a motion, seconded by Ms. Marzulla, to approve the application
because: The project has shown exceptional design based on the architectural character,
the location of the house in proximity to the neighborhood, the quality of the
neighborhood, and the distance of the house from the street . The approval is conditioned
on a satisfactory roof plan being submitted to staff.
The motion was approved by the following vote:
Aye: 5 - Mr. Caputo, Ms. Marzulla, Mr. Ray, Mr. Workley and Ms. Sredinski

Standards, which states rear wings may not be larger or taller than the

the house is approximately 180 feet from the street and the addition is
approximately 240 feet from the street.

shall have a typical window used for most windows. Question the use of
casement and double hung windows on the addition.
d) Section IV-4(d)(3) of the Architectural Design Standards state the
materials used in any mass must be applied consistently on that mass on
all sides of the structure. Question the vertical and horizontal siding on the
south and east elevations.
e) Staff notes Section II-1 - Approval and discretion of the AHBR:
c. The AHBR may waive any requirement of these standards in order to
approve a proposed project, if the AHBR finds that the project fulfills the
five principals enumerated in Section I-2, and meets one of the following
conditions:
(1) The project is an exceptional design, meaning that it is either
especially creative or it is designed in response to unique situation, such as
a very difficult site or an unusual program requirement.
Or
(2) Exceptional and unique conditions exist that create a practical
difficulty in complying with the requirements of these Standards. The
AHBR should consider the factors enumerated in as defined in the Land
Development Code in determining "practical difficulty"
