8108 KINGSBURY BOULEVARD – SIRE PLAN REVIEW – NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE
Director Susan M. Istenes summarizes the following staff report: “This project was previously considered by the Commission on April 20, 2020 and was tabled at that time. In response to the Commission’s decision to table the project due to concerns over the height of the first-floor elevation, the first floor was lowered 3.5 feet. This adjustment, along with changes to the structure/basement, resulted in the garage floor at the overhead door being lowered 3.3 feet from the previously submitted plan.
The elevation adjustments reflected in the latest submittal show the removal of the steps in the front walk, but not the steps to the front porch, thus providing relief from the mounded look that was of concern to the Commission at the April 20 meeting.
These changes have resulted in a steeper driveway (which was discussed at the meeting). The previous submittal had an average driveway slope of 6.8 percent; the revisions result in a driveway slope average of 9.5 percent and a retaining wall which is 40.67 feet longer than the previous submittal. To offset the added impervious coverage of the lengthened wall, the house was modified to reduce the square footage of its footprint.
Additionally, a storm pump was required to be added to the project outside the garage due to the garage floor now being lower than the rear yard. While a storm pump is not unique to this project in Clayton, it is a change to the drainage patterns that will further reduce the runoff to the neighboring property to the rear at 8111 Pershing.
The 6,000 square foot site is located on the south side of Kingsbury Boulevard just west of the intersection of N. Brentwood Boulevard and Kingsbury Boulevard. The property has a zoning designation of R-2 Single Family Dwelling District and is located in the Clayton Gardens Urban Design District. The proposed project consists of the demolition of the existing house and the construction of a new 3,781 square foot (not including basement) single- family residence. The height of the proposed residence is 28 feet 2 1 8 inches as measured from the average existing grade to the mean height of the roof.
The purpose of the site plan review process is to provide a review of the following criteria listed below:
surrounding area. >> The surrounding properties contain single-family homes. The project meets the setback, height, and impervious coverage requirements of the R-2 Zoning District and the Clayton Gardens Urban Design District.
