ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – NEW CONSTRUCTION – DETACHED GARAGE – 34 RIDGEMOOR

Matt Pevehouse, contractor, was in attendance at the meeting.

Susan Istenes explained that the proposed project consists of the construction of a 910-square-foot, 1.5 story detached garage in the rear yard. The existing 413 square foot detached garage will be demolished as part of the project. The area above the garage is under a sloped roof, meeting the requirements of a half-story. The space will be finished as an office/family room and includes a half bath. Because there are no provisions for cooking or sleeping, it is not considered a second unit. The project also includes additional concrete driveway pavement. The proposed plans increase impervious coverage on the lot to 51 percent, which is still below the maximum 55 percent allowed in the R-2 zoning district. The garage will be constructed of building materials that match the existing primary structure. The primary building material is brick with the secondary building material being stucco with battens. The applicant is requesting that the Board approve the use of stucco above the limit of 25 percent per elevation in order to match the construction of the primary structure. Asphalt shingles, an over-head paneled garage door and

5 white casement windows are also proposed to match the house. Director Istenes 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, with the exception of material percentage. Staff is of the opinion that the design and materials of the detached garage are compatible with the home and recommends approval as submitted.

Chairman Lichtenfeld asked about material samples.

Mr. Pevehouse stated that he did not bring material samples; however, the brick will match that of the existing front façade of the house and that the stucco will be duplicated. He added that the existing brick on the existing garage will be salvaged.

Hearing no further questions or comments, Josh Corson made a motion to approve as submitted. The motion was seconded by Will Liebermann and unanimously approved by the Board.

SITE PLAN REVIEW/CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT/ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – NEW CONSTRUCTION – INSTITUTIONAL/RETAIL – 8321 MARYLAND AVENUE

Mark Naylor, project architect, was in attendance at the meeting.

Susan Istenes explained that the subject property is approximately 0.8 acres in size and is located on the north side of Maryland Avenue, between Crandon Drive and Lancaster Drive. The lot is currently used as a surface parking lot and has a zoning designation of C-1 Neighborhood Commercial District and is located in the Maryland Gateway Overlay District. In 2013, a similar project including a drive-through was proposed by 5/3 Bank and was approved. 5/3 Bank never pulled permits or built on the site and sold the property to Regions Bank. The applicant is proposing a redevelopment of the entire site to include a freestanding bank, a remote drive-through associated with the bank, a freestanding retail building and a surface parking lot. The 2,743-square- foot bank building is proposed at the southwest corner of the site, and the 3,457-square-foot retail building is proposed at the southeast corner of the site. The bank and retail buildings will measure 21-feet 6-inches to the top of the parapet. The buildings are built up to the front and side property lines. Over 80 percent of the Maryland Avenue frontage is improved with buildings, and three entrances are proposed along Maryland Avenue. An approximately 1,300-square-foot pedestrian corridor is proposed between the two buildings. City standard streetscape will be installed along Maryland Avenue, Lancaster Drive and Crandon Drive. The 24-space parking lot is located behind the buildings and can be accessed from both Crandon Drive and Lancaster Drive. Vehicles will enter the drive-through via a one-way entrance located in the northeast corner of the parking lot and exit the drive-through at the northwest corner of the parking lot. There are two 9-foot wide drive- through lanes and a 12-foot wide bypass lane that runs parallel to Maryland Avenue. The drive- through will measure approximately 13-feet 8.38-inches to the top of the flat roof and is separated from the site’s parking and drive aisles by a raised curb and landscaped area. According to the applicant, the HVAC will be rooftop mounted with integrated screening. The parapet height will block most sight lines as the equipment will be centralized on the flat roof. Trash will be stored in
