Mark Landolf, Project Architect displayed a representation of the 3-D model he did on the house, based on the floor plan. He pointed out that the difference between what Mr. Monzo has shown and this display is its perspective, as it is not a flat drawing. Referring to the Commission's question regarding the history of the HOA approval, Mr. Landolf stated that the house that was first presented had a two-story element in the front, a one-story porch, and a big patio in the front. He indicated that he later moved the house to the back of the lot as far as the building envelope would allow and pushed the second floor back, which is what the current plan shows. He added that he also changed the landscape elements. He noted that situating the house the way it is actually meets the contours of the lot and thus reduces the grading on this lot. He pointed out that the lot is not steep enough to push the back of the house into the hillside, and moving the house back any further would make it difficult to have a useful backyard. He indicated that he would work with anyone who had objections to the house colors. Commissioner O'Connor referred to the rendering presented and asked Mr. Landolf if rotating the house would show the fireplace and the rotunda. Mr. Landolf said yes. Commissioner O'Connor referred to the slide of the site plan and noted that the proposed house is about touching the rear of the envelope. Ms. Wallis confirmed that was correct. Mr. Landolf stated that was the intention on the left side and that the contour lines can be seen right through the house. He added that the house is trying to be parallel to the contour lines to reduce grading. Chair Allen inquired if this envelope is documented on the plot plan that the HOA has. Ms. Wallis replied that the suggested building envelope comes directly from the design guidelines. Chair Allen further inquired if anyone in the HOA could see this if he or she chose to look for this with any kind of empty lot that still exists. Ms. Wallis said yes. Commissioner O'Connor noted that if the house were to be rotated to make it more in line with the grading and topography of the lot, it looked to him like it should be rotated in the opposite direction to align it with the other homes on the street. He further noted that rotating it counter-clockwise would align it with the stepping of the hill. EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES, March 25, 2015 Page 3 of 12
