Facilitation meeting regarding the application to construct: (I) an approximately 180-square-foot covered patio; (2) an approximately 292-square-foot first-floor addition on the rear; and (3) an approximately 1,251-square-foot second-story addition over part of the center and side portions of the existing residence located at 779 Mirador Court. Present at the meeting were Mary Roberts, Facilitator; Jerry Iserson, Planning and Community Development Director; Stacey and Stan Knight, owners/applicants; Dennis and Barbara Georgatos, of790 E. Angela; Martha Wensel, of787 Mirador Court, and Peter Shutts, Architect. The Georgatos' two main concerns regarding the Knights' addition were privacy and maintaining views. The Knights' presented three options and were willing to reduce the profile of the addition so long as it did not 1) require "squeezing in" floor area so that rooms would be unusable, 2) involve a completely new redesign, or 3) impact other neighbors. They would agree to a small reduction in size and a change in the configuration, and proposed moving the master bedroom forward towards the front of the house by 2 feet to accomplish this. The Knights suggested fencing with lattice or a tea arbor with landscape screening on the rear of the property to benefit the Georgatos' and adding an additional tree to the southwest portion of the subject property for Mr. Bennett's view. Ms. Wensel stated that privacy was not in issue for her; however she did have concerns with shading and ambiance. She felt that stepping the master bedroom forward 2 feet was a positive step. The Georgatos' felt that moving the master bedroom forward 2 feet helps and that the fence would mitigate the privacy concern. They would like to maintain their sense of privacy in regards to the size and location of the new second-story windows, and preferred transom windows with a six foot sill height on the rear elevation. AGREEMENT · The master bedroom would be moved 2 feet to the north, as proposed by the Knights. · Transom windows would be used on the rear elevation in the master bedroom with a minimum 6 foot windowsill. · The stairway windows on the rear elevation will be glass block. · There would be a 75 square-foot reduction in the second-floor. · The Georgatos' will consider constructing a retaining wall on the rear shared property line and filling the rear portion of their property; the cost of the new 6 foot fence on top of the retaining wall would be split with the Knights. . No Saturday construction. · One additional tree in the rear yard of the Knights' property for the Georgatos'. o Both will determine the species, size, and placement. 1
