brought forward so you have a larger porch. And I thought we had reached an <br /> agreement on that, but we were told that is not what they were looking for. <br /> Chair Ritter: Your time is up but we might have questions for you. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor: Before you start with questions, can you put those last two <br /> drawings up? <br /> Commissioner Balch: So the last one that you showed, I think it's where the gable is <br /> coming out? Not the tract home; the one you were saying you proposed to staff and <br /> they said that wasn't what they were looking for? Having that side brought out and <br /> making that into a covered porch of some element is not what staffs asking? <br /> Townsend: It would be the same element, including this room brought forward. <br /> Commissioner Balch: But if the room stayed where it is and you just brought the roof <br /> element out? <br /> Townsend: Then I would drop a column and it would look more like this. <br /> Commissioner Balch: Not as much as you lead on... <br /> Townsend: Because you're going to have column, column, this gets set back and all of <br /> a sudden you have a prominent....you no longer have this working as a unit. You have <br /> this heavy gable sitting over this space. <br /> Chair Ritter: Put it on the overhead and it will show up here. We have a video here. Can <br /> you please point to where you're talking about? <br /> Townsend: We were proposing that this entire element be brought forward including this <br /> space. <br /> Commissioner O'Connor: I think the suggestion is that you maintain the roofline as it is <br /> but extend it out more towards the street and you keep the wall of the den where it is <br /> but under the extended roofline towards the street you put a porch. <br /> Townsend: I follow what you're saying but that would require another column here or a <br /> third column. This element is projected; this element stays where it is, so now you have <br /> this heavy gable end that's basically over the space. That again, is going contrary to this <br /> façade acting as one, and that's the direction that they want to go. They don't want this <br /> large open space in front of this window. <br /> Commissioner Balch: So a large open space is a porch, right? So they don't want a <br /> porch. <br /> Townsend: We have a porch right here. <br /> Commissioner Balch: How about a porch as defined by staff? <br /> DRAFT EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, April 13, 2016 Page 4 of 10 <br />
