4 Chairman Lichtenfeld stated that the motion would need to include approval of a modification if the Commission wants to grant it. He noted the applicant is asking for 48.7% coverage; 3.7% over the allowed coverage of 45%. Ms. Strutman emphasized that the total proposed lot coverage is below the allowable amount. Mark Winings indicated that this is a common problem with front entry garages; he just wanted the record to reflect the reasoning. Mr. Volz stated that the new house sits about 30-feet from the street; the existing house sits about 28-feet from the street. He stated if the new driveway was any narrower, garage access would be difficult. Josh Corson stated that he has no issue with them planting a Red Maple. He added that it is unfortunate that the payment amount was initially miscalculated, but that it was only an estimate. Being no further questions or comments from the members and hearing no questions or comments from the audience, Chairman Lichtenfeld called for a motion. Ron Reim made a motion to approve the site plan per staff recommendations 1 ($7,926 payment into Fund) and 2 (new street tree), noting that this Commission is offering the applicant the opportunity to further work with City staff to allow a Red Maple only if City staff allows (if not, the applicant must plat a Swamp White Oak as noted in the report). Susan Istenes noted that the established fine and variety of street trees are at the discretion of the City’s Public Works Department pursuant to their professional opinion.

The motion was seconded by Josh Corson and unanimously approved by the members. The architectural aspects of the project were now up for review. Susan Istenes explained that this is a request for review of the design and materials associated with the proposed construction of a new 4,060-square-foot single-family residence (excluding the basement) with a below grade, front-loading garage. The existing home to be demolished is a 3,712-square-foot, one‐and‐a‐half story craftsman style house, built in 1919, and is one of four remaining historic homes on the block. The home to the south (146 North Central Avenue) is a traditional brick American foursquare, built in 1910, and the home to the north (150 North Central Avenue) is a postmodern contemporary brick home, built in 1999. Infill homes on the block, which were built primarily between 1995 and 2005, share the following common architectural and siting characteristics:

Federal, Neoclassical, Italianate, Classical Composite or Classical Eclectic.

sidewalk and have a two or three car, front‐access garage that is semi‐depressed and located on the basement level of the house.
