of siding. Mr. Russell will consult with his client and choose one style which may then be
approved by staff. Regarding the window styles, Mr. Russell stated that grids on the rear of
the house are not desired, staff noted the typical window is 2 over 2 - and stated more of the
non-typical should become 2 over 2, which the applicant agreed to . Regarding the six-foot
front projection, the applicant showed three homes he with larger projections that were
approved, and noted that the one foot over the LDC seems insignificant .

conditions, The applicant will make a decision whether to use horizontal or vertical
siding - which may then be approved by staff, that three, two over two windows will be
added to the left elevation, that the front door will be moved forward one-foot so the

Mr. Sugar introduced the application by
Mr. John Russell, and Ms. Robyn Jones, Prestige Builder Group, were present for the
meeting.
The Board, applicant, and staff discussed: The look-alike comment not applying, the use of
transom windows and or larger windows on the rear of the house, the large size of the two
projections in front of the front door, and Mr. Russell's opinion that this variance has been
granted numerous times in the past and showed examples, some of which were over 200-feet
off the street, Mr. Russell noted this house is 136-feet off the road, staff noted the distance
from the road does not change the requirement, Chair Caputo informed the Board the setback
rule could be granted an exception, the Board felt that because this is part of a development,
granting an exception is more difficult. Mr. Russell and staff discussed how the projection
might be reduced and agreed to re-examine the design in an attempt to minimize the
projection to eight feet across the front - which is the same as the porch.
A motion was made by Mr. Workley, seconded by Ms. Marzulla, that this AHBR

25-1064 Addition (Bedrooms and Bathrooms)
Submitted by Mark Zwolinski
a) Staff notes a variance was granted in 1991 by the Board of Zoning and
Building Appeals for a reduced front yard setback on the property. Staff is
reviewing to confirm the previous variance is still applicable to permit the
40 ft front yard minimum setback from Hudson Aurora Rd.
b) The Architectural Design Standards state that large expanses of blank wall
are to be avoided. Fenestration placement should be at a maximum of
approximately every 12 feet. Question proposed window size and if
additional fenestration on the left elevation is needed to meet this
requirement.
c) The Architectural Design Standards state that exposed foundations and tie
courses shall be of a consistent material on all elevations. Revise
elevations to depict a more consistently applied exposed foundation on all
elevations. Staff notes the stone veneer is consistently proposed to the
forward mass; however is only proposed on the front façade of the garage
mass.
d) The forward facing wing is only permitted within the large mass type of
Section IV-5 for structure which have a first floor greater than 2,500sf and
applicable to the following: This type has a complex massing with several
large masses attached to each other. It does not have a dominant (forward)
main body, but may have one or more central masses to which other
masses are attached. Most of the building is two stories tall. It may have
more than one entrance, and several subordinate wings or projections.

d) Section 1205.05(d)(5)(C0(2) states “the front setback shall not differ by
more than ten percent from the average of the front yard setbacks existing
on the two properties immediately adjoining the subject property, unless
approved by the Architectural and Historic Board of Review”. Staff notes
this home was approved with a 65 ft setback and the adjacent sublot #6
was approved with a 85 ft setback; however the applicant is proposing a
82 ft setback for this lot and an approximate 145 ft setback for sublot #6.
This will result in this house being set back significantly from sublot #4.
Staff suggests the applicant submit a subdivision plan to the AHBR
depicting proposed footprints for all sublots in order to determine
appropriate placement.
e) Section III-1(b)(2)(ii) regulates look-a-like requirements for surrounding

style, C. major features such as porches or turrets, D. organization and
number of bays, E. wing configuration, or F. roof shape”. Question the
design similarities with 6050 Pine Ridge Trail. Suggest a different siding
style and masonry style be utilized than 6050 Pine Ridge Trail.
f) Section IV-3(d) states “the walls of the main body must be a dominant
material” and “the materials used in any mass must be applied
consistently on that mass on all sides of the structure.” Staff notes both
horizontal and vertical siding is proposed for the walls of the main body.
Revise to depict one consistent siding material.
g) Section IV-3(e)(4) states “the building shall have a typical window used
for most windows.” Revise the window design to depict a more consistent
typical window.
h) Section IV-3(g) only permits projects to extend a maximum of 5 ft from the
main mass, or entrance wall. Staff notes the home office and bedroom #2
projects extend 6 ft.

requirements of Section III-1(g)(8) stating “large expanses of blank wall
are to be avoided”.
j) Revise the site plan to verify the driveway would meet the minimum 3 ft
setback.
