Sherry Eisenberg asked about trees. Ms. Strutman stated that they are removing three trees from the rear that are in poor condition. Sherry Eisenberg asked if they are being replaced. Ms. Strutman stated that there is a landscape plan; however, it was not required for this review. Chairman Lichtenfeld commented that it is refreshing to see a house renovated versus being replaced. Hearing no further questions and hearing none from the audience, Chairman Lichtenfeld called for a motion. Ron Reim made a motion to approve per staff recommendation. The motion was seconded by Mark Winings and unanimously approved by the Board. Chairman Lichtenfeld asked when they plan to begin work. Ms. Strutman replied “soon”. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – ADDITION TO SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE – 8144 KINGSBURY BOULEVARD

David & Karen Gulick, architect/owners, were in attendance at the meeting. Susan Istenes explained that this is a request for review of the proposed construction of a 1,010- square-foot, 2-story addition to the rear of the home. 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 existing concrete driveway will remain in place. No new retaining walls or permanent fences are proposed. The existing HVAC units are located on the east side of the home and are screened by an existing wood fence. A new +/- 40-square-foot trash enclosure is located at the rear of the home and will be screened by a wood fence and 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 as submitted.

The HVAC units are located at the rear of the home and screened by evergreen landscaping. Trash will be stored in a 52-square-foot trash enclosure located adjacent to the detached garage and screened by a wood fence and gate. The existing impervious coverage on site is 59.4 percent. The plans decrease the impervious coverage to 48.6 percent, which is below the maximum allowable impervious coverage of 55 percent. The existing storm water runoff, according to the MSD 15 year, 20 minute calculation, is 0.79 cubic feet per second (CFS). The proposed runoff is 0.74 CFS, which represents a decrease in 0.05 CFS, and therefore on site storm water mitigation is not required. Downspouts from the home will be piped to two pop-up emitters in the front yard. Downspouts from the detached garage will be piped to a pop-up emitter in the rear yard. The Public Works Department has reviewed and approved the storm water management plan. The landscape plan shows the removal of 76 caliper inches of trees, 39 of which requires onsite replacement. The landscape plan proposes 41 caliper inches of new deciduous and broadleaf

8 evergreen trees. The City’s contracted landscape architect reviewed the plans and has the following recommendations: i. Add a note to the plan specifying whether the lawn will be seeded or sodded. ii. Add more variety of shrubs to the front and rear yard foundation landscaping. iii. Consider a different tree species instead of Hornbeam. iv. Revise the tree chart to show that trees 6, 7 and 8 will be impacted. v. Note on the plans that trees 7 and 8 will be root pruned on the driveway side. Exterior lighting is proposed at the front of the home and the detached garage. All exterior lights will be 75 watts or less. Susan stated that the proposed home is compatible with surrounding homes in the neighborhood. Storm water will be adequately managed on site, and the landscape plan provides for a variety of new trees that are suitable for the area. The height, setbacks, and impervious coverage as proposed are in conformance with the requirements of the R-2 Single Family Dwelling District and the project has been conditionally approved by the subdivision trustees. Staff is of the opinion that the project meets the criteria for site plan approval and recommends approval with the following condition, to be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a building permit:

That the applicant submit a revised landscape plan which addresses the following: a. Add a note to the plan specifying whether the lawn will be seeded or sodded. b.
