Annisa Kumerow summarized the staff report. Steve Lichtenfeld – questioned the vinyl lettering proposed to be attached to the sign and its ability to remain stuck on the sign.

Lauren stated that the vinyl lettering will be baked on to the metal sign and that helps ensure the lettering cannot be peeled off or otherwise be removed and she also noted she understood the staff recommendation. Carolyn Gaidis questioned staff on their recommendation to include annuals along with perennials and evergreen shrubs in the surrounding landscape bed. Susan Istenes stated the requirement for annuals, perennials and evergreen shrubs was to ensure a variety of plantings were installed and to ensure year-round green. Hearing no further questions or comments and hearing none from the audience, Carolyn Gaidis made a motion to approve the project with the one staff recommendation. Rich Lintz seconded the motion and the motion was unanimously approved by the Board.

Taylor Huston, Project Manager, Killeen Architects, was in attendance. Mike Killeen, Principal, Killeen Architects was in attendance. Clay Vance, Civil Engineer was in attendance. Steve Lichtenfeld asked Clay Vance to summarize stormwater management system. Clay Vance noted a previous meeting with neighbors to the south was held and noted the direction of stormwater flows in that area. He noted that subsurface water leaches out of the ground near the south west corner of property and near sidewalk. He believes water was a result of sump pump discharge and stormwater discharge in that area leading to an underground structure and when that overflows it runs over the sidewalk. Noted that downspouts will be relocated to the north and piped into the storm sewer. All new impervious area as a result of construction will be collected and taken to the north to a piping system that will gather that up and take it to the north routed through stormwater mitigation trench (INFILTRATION TRENCH) when that fills it will come out of a grade in the (inaudible) yard. Located on north side of house rather than south side of house where current issues are. Steve Lichtenfeld – questioned will there be less water to the south then presently exists. Clay Vance – noted that’s what he would expect. He stated that if the pump to the north and taking downspouts out does not solve the problem, and groundwater continues to leach, then the owner has offered to install a French drain on south property line. They would like to evaluate the water situation after installation of new water management system to ensure that the problem doesn’t remain afterward. If it does then French drain would be installed. Rich Lintz – questioned the existence of swales coming down the side in keeping water out of driveway. Is there a need to have French drain that is there now, extended? Clay Vance – noted yard is higher; water coming down driveway from street will run into French drain going across from drive. Rich Lintz – questioned need for trash enclosure just for collection day. Anna Krane – noted that the trash enclosure requirement is in the ARB Guidelines which is triggered for any new house or project that comes before the ARB. The goal to limit people having to bring cans in and out of house. ARB can waive that requirement because it is a guideline. Carolyn Gaidis – agreed with Rich Lintz comments on trash. Question on Christner’s comments on landscape, specifically, burning bush. Noted burning bush is on invasive species list. She would like to see it removed from landscape palette. Also concerned about western side coming down concrete walk,
