Commissioner Narum: She commended the applicants' good efforts to work with the neighbors, noting that it is not easy to put together everyone's concerns. She stated that the site location is good and represents a good compromise, although it may not be ideal for the owner. She added that she would like to see the 24-inch and 36-inch box plants included in the landscaping plan to ensure that they do not affect the view of the people below, exactly what these trees are with respect to the perimeter line. She indicated that she liked the open fencing and supported the 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday construction hours and that she would like the drainage issue addressed. She noted that she liked the architectural detailing; with respect to the color, she would like to see a color lighter than that of the house on the golf course by the clubhouse. She added that she would like to see a condition restricting future additions such as locker rooms to the tennis court. Commissioner Olson: He noted that the detailing is terrific, particularly on the tennis court building, and that no additional detailing is needed. He stated that he would like to retain the open fencing and see a landscaping plan as well as the drainage runoff addressed. He indicated that he did not think the reflection from the solar panels is an issue and that he liked the roof plan on the tennis courts that hid the panels. He congratulated the applicants on their great efforts at amassing Green points. Commissioner Pearce: She noted that the Green points were wonderful and that the detailing was beautiful. She indicated that she would like to see revised visuals from additional viewpoints including the Watt house, as well as accurate depictions of the location of the solar panels. She stated that she liked the colors. Commissioner Fox: She noted that when the Commission reviewed the 325 Ray Street building, then Commissioner Maas made some comments regarding the articulation of the style; she would like staff to pull those comments because this building looks similar to that one. She noted that the tower element in the south elevation looks lower than the roof line and inquired if it is supposed to have a roof; and if it is the same tower shown in the west elevation where it appears to be above the roof line. She noted that she liked the open fencing and that she would like to see some of the composite diagrams and location of the solar panels on the roof as well a complete landscape plan with a comparison of tree size at construction and after five years. She noted the neighbors' concern regarding drainage and would like to see the location of the bioswales. Mr. Pavan indicated that the tower on the south and west elevations are the same. He noted that the tower is an architectural feature that is a tribute to Dilbert. He added that from the south, the roof of the main structure is behind Dilbert and that the west elevation is aside-on view of Dilbert. Commissioner O'Connor: He indicated that he would not repeat what has already been mentioned. He stated that the architecture and detailing are superb. He expressed concern about the stucco walls as they detracted from the architecture and added to the massing; he would rather have landscaping to hide the garage area. He noted that he liked the open fencing and that this is the most Green points he has seen integrated into any house. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 9, 2008 Page 22 of 28
