Planning Commission Lands of Malek January 28, 1998 Page 2 DISCUSSION Site Data: Gross Lot Area: 2.14 acres Net Lot Area: 2.14 acres Average Slope: 41.5% Lot Unit Factor: .696 Floor Area and Development Area: Area Maximum Proposed Existing Increase Left Development 5,220 6,245 0 +6,245 0 Floor 4,000 3,535 0 +3,535 +465 Site and Architecture The applicant is requesting approval of a site development permit for a one story residence with an attached three-car garage. The house would be 2,989 square feet and the garage 546 square feet in floor area. The house is designed to step with the natural slope of the building site with the garage graded under the main level. The height of the residence would be 16 to 20 feet for the majority of the residence and 27 feet at the two story section of the house at the garage only. The maximum height of the new residence will be 27 feet as measured from the natural grade. Story poles have been placed on the site for the Commission's review. Proposed exterior materials include stucco siding and trim, and a tile roof. Three skylights are proposed with the residence. The front entry is a one story element, 14 feet high. Exterior colors have not yet been chosen. Staff will review proposed colors for conformance with the Town's adopted color board,prior to the painting of the residence. Staff notes that the placement of the residence in respect to stepping with the natural grade and limiting the removal of trees is exemplary with respect to its consistency with the intent of the Code and the Town's Design Guidelines. Specifically, the residence includes 4 building pads to minimize grading into the site while maintaining compliance with the Town's grading guidelines except in a small area (60 square feet) of the master bathroom. In addition, a flat roof with some roof areas with a minimal pitch have been used in the design of the house to minimize height and reduce any bulk. The low roofline with the variations in height, stepping the house with the natural contours, as well as the siting of the residence around the oak trees, combine to provide a very low profile residence which fits very well into the site.
