The project includes a generator, swimming pool, shade pergola, and other landscape structures. This project was continued from the November 29th, 2022 meeting. Summary of Property: Character Area: Neighborhood Estates Location of Common Green Space: Front Any Special Frontages: None Lot Coverage of Roofed Structures Review: Main floor living area: 4,660 sf Main floor garage area: 914 sf Covered porches: 195 sf Screened porch: 457 sf Shade Pergola 240 sf Total Lot Coverage: 6,467 sf Summary of Project: The proposed house is a Tudor Revival style sided primarily with brick. Wood accents provide additional detail in selected areas. The fenestration is formal and remains uniform on all sides of the house. The main floor sits 1.15 feet lower than the house to the right and 4.5 feet higher than the home to the left. The main ridge is 6 feet lower than the home to the right and 7 feet higher than the home to the left. The homes on both sides are two stories tall so the eaves are not comparable. The main central mass is flanked on the left side by a simple subordinate wing. The wing on the right side is a more complex compound wing that houses the 3-car garage. The overall composition of the house is an asymmetrical layout that is common in Tudor designs. The roof is primarily 10/12 & 14/12 pitch which is in keeping with the Tudor design. The proposed rear wing includes a covered porch that is roofed with a lower pitch standing seam roof. Similar metal roofs are proposed at the various dormers and the large, curved portion of the left side wing. The organization of the rear yard is a series of formal lawns. The center of these contains a roofed pergola structure. It is a simple post-and-beam structure with a metal shingle roof. The proposed pool is located in the rear most formal lawn. It maintains a small coping around the perimeter and is flush with the ground. Two iron groin vault structures are proposed to the side of the lawn and provide a pathway through the associated plantings. A utility yard is proposed on the west (right) side of the rear wing and includes a basement access stair. December 13, 2022  The driveway is a circle drive located towards the middle of the front yard. A secondary driveway connects to the auto court at the garage entrance.

Subsection A suggests that the main mass of the house should be between 40% and 50% of the lot width. At 52 feet wide it is approximately 25% of the lot width. This section goes on to suggest that the depth of the main mass should be 25% of the lot width but need not to be less than 25 feet. The overall proportions of the main mass are within the parameters of the guidelines. Subsection B suggests that front wings have a width clearly less than the main mass and the total of all wings should not exceed 50% of the main mass width. The depth should not be greater than the width. The height can be up to 2-stories but clearly less than the main mass. The location should be near the front building line. These recommendations have been met. Subsection C suggests that side wings, located in the primary building area, should have a depth and height clearly less than the main mass. They should also be set behind the front plane of the main mass. Side wings located in the secondary building area should have a height up to 2-stories and 30 feet, but clearly less than the main mass. These recommendations have been met. 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 F suggests that dormers located on wings or accessory buildings located in the Secondary or Conditional Building Areas should not be oriented toward any neighboring lots. This recommendation has been met. December 13, 2022  Subsection G suggests that driveways occupy as little of the Primary Landscape Area as possible. On lots wider than 140 feet the driveway should be located off the side property line a distance no less than 8% of the lot width. Circle driveways should have an interior green with a width no less than 80 feet wide, measured at the front property line, and depth of 40 feet measured from the curb. These recommendations have been met. Subsection H allows for compound wings where a secondary wing is attached to a primary wing. The primary wing should follow all the requirements stated above and the secondary wing should be clearly subordinate to the primary wing. 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 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. This recommendation has been met. Section 2.7.1 B on page 94 suggests that the number of different roof pitches should be limited to two. The house has two primary roof pitches and two secondary roof pitches. This was recommended by the PRP to reduce the overall height of the house. This recommendation has 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 not been met; however, they were revised to be more proportionate. Section 2.7.2 A on page 101 recommends garages be set behind the façade of the main house mass. The proposed garage is located in line with the front of the house. This recommendation has not been met. Section 2.7.2.B on page 102 recommends drives be no more than 12 feet wide at the front property line. This recommendation has been met. Section 2.7.3.A on page 106 recommends that LS-6 and 7 properties have a greenspace no less than 70% of the lot area. This recommendation has been met. PRP Recommendation: The PRP recommends approval of the project with the following modification: The window muntins should be modified to create vertically oriented window panes (typical for Tudor homes) rather than the square panes proposed. And the following condition: add trees or tall vegetation to the front yard landscape plan to help block the view of the garage doors as you are driving north on Wenonga Road.
