Outdoor kitchens and fireplaces are substantial construction matters as defined by Code Section 5-103.78 and 5-103.122 and was noticed as such. This project was continued at the May 10th meeting so the plans could be refined to increase the greenspace and eliminate the variance. Summary of Property: • Character Area: Neighborhood Estates • Location of Common Green Space: Front • Any Special Frontages: None Lot Coverage Review: Main floor living area: 2,207 sf Proposed Addition: 361 sf Proposed Detached Garage: 675 sf Total Lot Coverage: 3,243 sf Summary of Project: At the front of the house, the Winters are proposing to replace the front door and replace the surrounding siding. New gas lanterns flank the front door. They are also proposing to replace an existing triple-double- hung window with a new, window of the same width but taller. Several other windows are being replaced with new units to match the existing. At the side of the house, the existing garage door is to be replaced with a new frosted glass garage door. The proposed addition is located to the side of an existing rear wing. The new addition is proposed with a flat roof deck. A new pair of French doors and a new dormer are proposed at the existing wing to access the new roof deck. The roof deck will be protected with a new glass railing. Windows in the same area are being replaced with new, larger units. The new addition features French doors to access the existing patio and a new outdoor fireplace. A new pergola is proposed at the first floor. The height has not been indicated, but it aligns with existing door head height. On the right side of the house, several existing windows are being replaced with new units of similar sizes. The proposed outdoor kitchen is located at the north corner of the property. The existing patio will be extended into the rear yard to the minimum rear and side yard setbacks. The kitchen consists of a u-shaped brick counter with granite countertops. The area is covered by a new painted steel pergola. The proposed detached garage is located at the west corner of the property near the minimum setbacks. It is 1 ½ stories tall, with the first floor aligning with the main house basement. Due to the topography, the garage is set into the hillside, and the second floor aligns with the existing pool deck. A dormer with French doors is proposed to access the pool deck. NOTE: The detached garage will be located over an existing right-of- way. The owners plan to petition the City to vacate the right-of-way. Any approval of the project should be contingent on the Planning Commission and City Council approving the vacation. Ordinance Compliance: The project is in violation of City Code Section 5-132.E which limits the height of detached accessory buildings to 24 feet. The proposed garage is 24’-10 1/2” tall. A variance of 10.5 inches is required. May 24, 2022 Greenspace Review: Lot area: 23,888 sf (per property survey) Roofed Lot Coverage: 3,243 sf Driveway: 5,672 sf Front walkway: 35 sf Patios: 2,602 sf North wall: 230 sf Equipment Pads: 105 sf Remaining Greenspace: 12,001 sf (50.24%) Design Guideline Review: Section 2.3 on pages 64 through 67 of the Design Guidelines provides specific recommendations for the Neighborhood Estates character area. Subsection D suggests that rear wings located in the primary or secondary building areas can be up to 2 stories and 30 feet tall but clearly less than the main mass. Rear wings should have a width clearly less than the main mass and should not exceed 50% of the main mass width. These recommendations have been met. Subsection E suggests that detached accessory buildings, located in the conditional building or primary landscape areas should be limited to 1 story with 10-foot maximum eave heights. There should be no more than 2 accessory buildings per lot. These recommendations have been met. Section 2.6.4 on page 89 of the Design Guidelines provides recommendations for lot coverage. The section suggests that lot coverage of roofed structures be limited and should not exceed an increase of 50% over the average percentage maximum lot coverage that is being used by the neighboring properties. This recommendation has been met. Section 2.6.4.A on page 89 discourages overbuilding by suggesting that homes avoid reaching more than 2 minimum/maximum setbacks or limits. The project touches or exceeds multiple minimums/maximums. This recommendation has not been met. Section 2.7.1 III on page 92 generally recommends that all materials, configurations, and methods should be consistent with the architectural style of the home. The proposed glass railings and frosted garage doors are not in keeping with the style of the existing structure. Discussion is recommended. Section 2.7.1 B on page 94 recommends that the number of different roof pitches should be limited to two. The existing house primarily uses 13/12, 14/12, & 15/12 pitches. The proposed garage is a 12/12. This recommendation has not been met. Section 2.7.1 D on page 96 recommends that all window muntins on the home be the same pattern and proportion, with few exceptions. This recommendation has been met. Section 2.7.2 A on page 101 recommends garages be set behind the façade of the main house mass. This recommendation has been met. Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-3, 4 and 5 properties have a greenspace no less than 65% of the lot area. This recommendation has not been met. Please note that the existing greenspace is 54.6% and the proposed project will reduce the greenspace to 50.24%. No significant amount of existing hardscape is being removed to help mitigate the greenspace deficiency - 3,526 sq. ft. of hardscape would need to be converted to greenspace to meet this recommendation.
