Planning Commission July 22, 1998 Lands of Danaher Page 2 DISCUSSION Site Data Gross Lot Area: 1.62 acres Net Lot Area: 1.271 acres Average Slope: 22.4% Lot Unit Factor: .93 Floor and Development Area Area Maximum Proposed Existing* Increase Left Development 9,657 9,657 12,632 -2,975 -0- Floor 5,020 5,020 5,492 -472 -0- *Existing house,garage,accessory building and some hardscape to be demolished. Site and Architecture The applicants are requesting approval of a site development permit to construct a new 4,238 square foot residence with a 764 square foot attached garage. Most of the existing development including the remainder of the fire damaged residence, attached garage, accessory storage building and some hardscape will be demolished. The pool and decking and retaining walls behind the house will remain. Exterior materials would consist of wood shingle siding, wood windows, doors and trim, and dark brown metal roofing. The maximum height of the main roof ridge would be just under 27 feet as measured from the building pad. The roof curves down from this high point so the bulk of it would be lower than 27 feet. The height as measured from the lowest to highest point would be 31 feet. The proposed materials will help blend the house into the site. Having no stucco elements and using mostly wood will also help reduce bulk and mass. The use of a metal roof may be of concern to the Commission. The project architects will have a sample of the proposed roofing at the meeting. The use of a dark brown color is consistent with the Town's color policy, and provided that the material is not highly reflective, staff does not have any concerns about the metal roofing. There is also a model of the proposed residence that will be available for review in the Council Chambers prior to the meeting. The model will also be available at the Commission meeting. The architectural style, while different than that of the old house, and the exterior colors and materials will help the house fit the site. Mature vegetation on the property would help screen the property from most off-site views. The new residence has been located in about the same place as the existing house, although the building footprint is smaller. Story poles have been placed on the site for the Commission's review.
