Mr. Landolf stated that was the intention on the left side and that the contour lines can be <br />seen right through the house. He added that the house is trying to be parallel to the <br />contour lines to reduce grading. <br />Chair Allen inquired if this envelope is documented on the plot plan that the HOA has. <br />Ms. Wallis replied that the suggested building envelope comes directly from the design <br />guidelines. <br />Chair Allen further inquired if anyone in the HOA could see this if he or she chose to look <br />for this with any kind of empty lot that still exists. <br />Ms. Wallis said yes. <br />Commissioner O'Connor noted that if the house were to be rotated to make it more in line <br />with the grading and topography of the lot, it looked to him like it should be rotated in the <br />opposite direction to align it with the other homes on the street. He further noted that <br />rotating it counter - clockwise would align it with the stepping of the hill. <br />Mr. Landolf agreed. He stated that this is kind of the compromise. He indicated that to <br />work in the contours, the house would have to be rotated farther away from the street. <br />Commissioner O'Connor added that rotating it clockwise would require a lot more grading. <br />Mr. Landolf said yes; and more stairs up to the front door and taller walls at the far right <br />corner of the house. <br />Commissioner Balch referred to the rendering of the house presented by the architect, and <br />noting that the angle of the picture can cause differences, he pointed out that the third <br />window facing the second floor is missing from the rendering. <br />Mr. Landolf stated that he must have added it later on the elevations. <br />Commissioner Balch further noted that the chimney on the first page extends to the <br />pitch of the roof. He indicated that he does not believe there would be a significant <br />difference in the pitch that one cannot see the top of the chimney sticking up. <br />Mr. Landolf indicated that there are three other pictures of that same model with the <br />chimney. <br />Commissioner Nagler noted that there are actually two windows missing. <br />Commissioner Balch stated that might be due to the angle. He indicated that if the <br />house were rotated, the first window will be missing, but the top of the chimney on the <br />back would be visible. He added that the reason he is bringing this up for the architect <br />is because the massing obviously appears different. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 25, 2015 Page 6 of 27 <br />
