The proposed project includes a two-story home with 4,975 square feet of livable space and an attached three-car garage. It adheres to all development standards for the R-1 zone, including lot coverage, floor area ratio, building height, setbacks, and parking requirements. This project was initially presented to the commission on January 27, 2025, but was continued due to concerns regarding its design, particularly related to massing, scale, and height.
In response to the commission's feedback, the applicant has made several revisions. The livable area has been reduced from 5,018 square feet, with adjustments made to the second floor and specific bedrooms. The north side yard setback for the second floor has been increased from 19 feet to 20 feet to enhance the buffer between the new home and the neighboring property.
Additional visual aids have been provided to demonstrate the project's compatibility with the existing neighborhood, including a neighborhood property survey that highlights nearby two-story structures. A new six-foot solid metal fence is also proposed along the north property line to offer additional screening, which will be painted to match the building.
The commission's ongoing review of this project reflects its commitment to ensuring that new developments align with community standards and neighborhood aesthetics. Further discussions and evaluations are expected as the project progresses.
