the approved site plan with St. Louis County, and submit proof of recording to the City prior to the issuance of a building permit. Ms. Strutman presented the proposed site plan to the members. She noted that the house features an at-grade, rear entry garage. She showed the members the location of the HVAC units and trash enclosure. She then noted that they will comply with staff recommendations. Mr. Volz presented a drainage map to the members, noting that the amount of water run-off will be reduced by 70%. Marilyn Shue, owner, 130 Brighton Way, voiced her concern about flooding as she, over the last 21 years, has had 13 major floods. She stated that additionally, four railroad tie walls were put on her property. Being no further questions or comments, Chairman Lichtenfeld called for a motion. Josh Corson made a motion to approve the site plan per staff recommendations. The motion was seconded by Ron Reim and unanimously approved by the members. The architectural aspects of the project were now up for review. Susan Istenes explained that the home to the south (114 Brighton Way) was constructed in 1956 and is 13 feet 7 ¼ feet shorter than the proposed home (as measured from the mid-point of each roof). The home to the north (130 Brighton Way) was constructed in 1950 and is 4 feet 11 ¼ inches shorter than the proposed home (as measured from the mid-point of each roof).

Susan Istenes explained that the home to the south (114 Brighton Way) was constructed in 1956 and is 13 feet 7 ¼ feet shorter than the proposed home (as measured from the mid-point of each roof). The home to the north (130 Brighton Way) was constructed in 1950 and is 4 feet 11 ¼ inches shorter than the proposed home (as measured from the mid-point of each roof). As required by Section 410.385 of the Clayton Gardens Urban Design District, to avoid tall, blocky building forms, new structures shall incorporate a transition in height and scale through one of six possible techniques. For this project, the following permitted technique is used: “Increasing the side yard setback one foot for every five feet the height of the structure exceeds the height of the adjacent structure at the side yard.” The required side yard setbacks are 8.8 feet and the proposed setbacks are 9.8 feet on the north side and 11.8 feet on the south side. Clayton Gardens has traditionally been dominated by the use of standard size brick in a variety of red tones, although the original brick has been painted in some instances. Per Section 410.380 of the Clayton Gardens Urban Design District, brick and one accent material is allowed not to exceed 25 percent on any wall elevation. The primary building material for the proposed home is tan brick with stone and stucco (fiber cement board) accents. The applicant is requesting alternative compliance for this requirement to allow the use of two accent materials.
