Commission grants window-size exception for Fontana Drive house; applicant cites garage
Summary
The Planning Commission approved a window-hierarchy exception for a new home at 6015 Fontana Drive after the applicant said the lower level is mostly garage and staff noted a minimal runoff increase in the watershed report.
The Planning Commission voted to approve plans for a new single-family residence at 6015 Fontana Drive and granted an exception to the window-size hierarchy on the north façade. Planning staff presented the application and said staff "is not opposed to the application regarding the exception request," noting the watershed report showed a minimal increase in runoff and that the applicant was not providing a retention system.
Applicant Steven Bucy, who identified himself for the record, told commissioners the lower level is primarily garage and the design choice reduced lower-level glazing for security: "yes the lower level is mostly garage on the North elevation and we just didn't want to have that many windows from a security standpoint." Commissioners asked clarifying questions about sizes and then moved to approve the plans and the exception; the motion passed. The transcript does not record a detailed roll-call vote.
