|
| |

Mark Reavis: Provided clarity on how the townsite standards and guidelines are to be used in decision making.
Karl Eberhard, Project Architect: Gave a presentation about the project, including a 3d rendering model of the home. Stated that based on some of the concerns about privacy on the upper deck, they changed the railing to have less visibility.
Emily Dale: Asked for clarity about the timeline for the project.
Karl Eberhard: Stated that the project location initially came through in 2016 with a different proposal to do an addition to the existing building.
Greg Hadden, Owner: Noted that he was on the call and could also answer questions.
Mark Reavis: Clarified that the former submission included a cultural resource study that concluded the existing structure was non-contributing.
Karl Eberhard: Stated that he believed the HPC even looked at some preliminary designs.
Greg Hadden: Stated that they had a different idea at that time and did not move forward with it.
David Hayward: Invited public comment.
Duffie Westheimer: Provided public comment, raising concerns about the mass and scale of the proposed structure.
Ellen Ryan, neighboring property owner: Provided public comment, raising concerns mass, scale of new building, and possible damage to their property. Also raised concerns about privacy related to the upper deck and patio area.
David Ryan, neighboring property owner: provided public comment, raising concerns about the new structure.
Mark Reavis: Clarified the design overlay guidelines and standards, and that the commission is not looking at the zoning elements outside of that overlay.
David Hayward: Echoed Mark’s comment and stated that the commission does not make decisions based on the zoning elements outside of the overlay.
Asked Mark to clarify the massing and scal requirements.
Mark Reavis: Stated that the standards include height and open space.
Amy Horn: Asked whether the project would come back to the commission if city planning asks for changes?
Mark Reavis: Noted that it would not come back unless there were substantive changes to the design.
Emily Dale: Asked Mark to clarify the requested action.
Mark Reavis: The motion is general but relying on commission for specifics to add to the motion.
Karl Eberhard: Noted that they have already made several privacy considerations and that privacy is also context specific and that this is an urban setting where buildings are closer together.

Karl Eberhard: Yes, but it was too far out into the street.
Caitlin Kelly: Noted that some other homes on street have front facing porches. Also noted that privacy in urban lots is limited.
David Hayward: Specified that the only actionable item in terms of massing and size is the height and open space requirements. This property meets the specified guidelines.
Stated that the second story porch is potentially problematic in terms of privacy, but there is no standard in the overlay that regulates that.
Reticent to impose condition that architect continues to work with Mark.
Karl Eberhard: Offered three concessions
Remove upper window
Stained or translucent glass
Upper deck has been addressed with less transparent railing type.
David Hayward: Asked Mark about condition to increase fence height.

- Smaller window on the west elevation will be removed or replaced with opaque glass or something similar.
- The window in the stairwell will also be made opaque or some other similar treatment.
