The height of the addition is +/- 26 feet from grade to the mid-point of the roof. The addition will incorporate the same design and materials found on the existing home. The primary building material is brick with Hardie Board shingle accents on the gable end. The roof will be clad in architectural asphalt shingles, and wood clad windows are proposed. The existing concrete driveway will remain in place. No new retaining walls or permanent fences are proposed.

The proposed alterations and additions will incorporate similar design and materials found on the existing home. The primary building materials are brick and stone with Hardie shingle siding. The amount of siding will not exceed 25 percent of any elevation. The roof will be clad in slate polymer shingles, grey in color, and bronze casement windows are proposed. The garage doors will be dark gray. A new exposed aggregate driveway is proposed along the southern property line. A stacked- stone retaining wall is proposed in the front yard along the driveway. An 8-foot tall wood fence is proposed around the rear yard. The HVAC unit is located on the north side of the home. The screening material is not shown on the plans. A new 40-square-foot trash enclosure is located adjacent to the new garage will be screened by a brick wall and wood gate. Susan stated that the project as proposed is in conformance with the requirements of the R-2 Single Family Dwelling District and the Architectural Review Guidelines. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed design and materials are compatible with the existing home and other homes in the neighborhood and recommends approval with the condition that the applicant submit a revised site plan showing a fence or 100% opaque evergreen landscape screening to screen the HVAC units, to be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a building permit. Ms. Strutman informed the members that the Bryans purchased the home to renovate it. She noted that the brick will match existing.
