Staff Presentation/Committee Member Questions Principal Planner Flower presented the Agenda Report and took Committee Members’ questions. Committee Member Williamson asked for clarification on second floor setbacks, to which Ms. Flower responded. Applicant Architect Rick Steres indicated that he had nothing further to add to the staff presentation, but that he would answer any questions. Committee Member Silva asked Mr. Steres if he could elaborate on the roof design. Mr. Steres said that the roof overhang on the gabled side should project one foot, rather than three feet, noting that he had debated the design and that he would reduce the overhang accordingly. Committee Member Silva noted that the gabling was centered, except for that of the east elevation, adding that it may benefit the aesthetics of the project to center the subject gable as well. Mr. Steres said that centering the east elevation gable would be complicated, but if approval hinged on that condition, he would redesign the roofline for a centered gable. Chair Freeman asked how Mr. Steres would achieve the staff-recommended decrease in footprint with his design. Mr. Steres responded that he could modify the porch to decrease the footprint. Committee Member Silva asked about the second floor ceiling heights, to which Mr. Steres replied. Public Comments None. Committee Member Comments Committee Member Silva said that he felt the massing of the roofline could be remedied by centering the east elevation gable. Committee Member Rogers expressed concern with potential unbalance if the roofline was reduced by three feet. Chair Freeman asked Mr. Steres if the existing fireplace was functional. Mr. Steres said yes, but that it would be replaced with a gas insert. Chair Freeman commended Mr. Steres on the proposed improvements to the site. 2 Architectural Review Committee Minutes Wednesday, August 15, 2018 On a motion by Committee Member Silva, seconded by Committee Member Williamson, and carried by the following vote, the Architectural Review Committee approved Architectural Review Permit 18-0186 for preliminary and final architectural review of a second-story addition to a single family dwelling at 667 Taylor Street with staff- recommended special conditions of approval and additional condition of approval that the applicant work with staff to arrive at a revised roof plan and to consider centering the east elevation roof gable.
