The applicants' property is located to the north of rear neighbors. Further, given that the addition will be located towards the front of the property, the rear neighbors to the south are not likely to be impacted by shadows of the two -story structure to the north. The size of the home is within the range of the square footage of homes in immediate vicinity of the subject property. Further, the proposed roofline is varied and is designed with minimal slope to reduce the overall height and appearance of bulk and mass. The proposal meets or exceeds the development standards for the R -1 -6,500 zoning designation. 3. Appropriate relationship of the proposed building and its site to adjoining areas, including compatibility of architectural styles, harmony in adjoining buildings, attractive landscape transitions, and consistency with neighborhood character; The proposed addition will match the colors, materials, and architecture of the existing home and will be compatible with the architectural styles found within the neighborhood. Several two -story homes exist in close vicinity of the subject property and no restriction prohibiting two -story homes exists within the development. Mature landscaping that currently provides screening will be maintained and additional landscaping along the rear property line will be added to provide screening and address visual concerns from rear neighbors. Additionally, the addition meets or exceeds minimum setback requirements. 4. Preservation of views enjoyed by residents, workers within the city, and passersby through the community; The project meets this criterion in that the applicant will plant additional landscape screening in response to concerns about views of off -site landscaping that will be impacted by the proposed project. The first story of the subject home is visible to the neighbor to the east and the view out of the front room window will not be significantly altered. The addition will be located towards the front of the property and thus has been designed to minimize impact to views of neighbors to the rear. 5. Landscaping designed to enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas, provide shade, and conform to established streetscape; No heritage size trees will be removed to accommodate the proposal. Landscaping materials will be added to the site to provide screening of the project in response to neighbors' concerns about privacy and views of the additions. The landscaping along the streetscape will not be altered since no trees will be removed or added to the front yard for this project.
