Mr. Nick Melloni, Assistant Planner, reminded the C.ommission that this project for a new single-family dwelling�on Silver Spur Trail (Silver Spur) � , was continued from November 27, 2018 for wall design review and . building height exception. At that meeting, the Commission was � . �. concerned with the height of the retaining1�wall in such close proximity , - to the street and recommended the applicant redesign the wall to � ' reduce the massing along Si�lver Spuro The applicant has redesigned � the retaining�wall bydecreasingthe height,�to a maximum of 4'-3" relative . to the top of curb elevation, from the previous height range of 5' to 10' relative to the top of curb. He said minor changes were made to the ` dwelling's architecture and that is contemporary with elements.of mid- � , � century modern, clel�estory windows and low-pitched roofs. The roof line of the structure is broken into multiple sub-masses with portions of the _ roof extending above the maximum height limit of the zone. Because portions of the roof exceed the maximum height lirnit of the zone, review \ b the Architectural Review Commission (ARC) is required. He , Y � � presented a site plan and a PowerPoint for the Commission's review. , �1 , , Mr. Melloni said the proposal also includes a tiered retaining and block wall along SilverSpurthat is 11'-6"to 22' awayfrom the street curbface. , . The retaining wall is located within 11'-6" of the curb face; relative to the elevation of the top of curb, this wall will have a maximum height of 4'3" - � � ,at the tallest point. The freestanding block wall is stepped back 3'-3" from the outer retaining wall; relative to the pad elevation,�this will have a maximum height of 5'-0". The area between the two (2) walls �will be � landscaped with a desert-native species to soften the massing. Street� ,facing sections will be fi`nished with stucco and painted to match the � , . home. He said the applicant has reduced the height of the retaining wall � � per ARC comments and with the new changes, the massing of the wall in relation�to the street has been reduced. Staff recommends approval � of the proposed wall. �� ' , ; , G:\Planning\Janine Judy�ARC\1 Minutes�2019\190423min.docx 8 �f �� . .

Staff�i� in favor of approvin�g the proposed roof line and building . height at�17'-9" as the portion of�the building height over 15' is minimal . and sufficiently setback from surrounding properties. In addition, the . h.eight provides variation�in the roof line and adds architectural interest to the home. Staff recorr�mends approval of the proposed architecture � . with roof heights at a maxim um of 17'-6". � . � . Corr�missioner Levin referred to the two (2) �chin�nney elements that � � project above the maximum height of 1,8' and asked how much taller they were. Mr. Melloni said one goes up to 19'-4" and are not shown on � the rendering. He said� staff has requested the designer to submit , . accu�rate renderings. Mr. Melloni said they can extend beyond the 18' � , with ARC approval. Commissioner.Vuksic said they add to the roofline. . Commissioner Lambell asked why�these were not on the renderings � and feels this is a malicious intent to not include something that is � � knowingly taller than what is. allowed. She agrees that it adds to the �� flavor of the home but none .of this is what it is. She asked that the � , applicant resubmit renderings to show the chimneys. � � . . , Commissioner Levin reminded the Commission that some of the , � concerns from the meeting �in November were in reference to the clerestory windows, the thin roof, and how the venting and� insulation would work above the kitchen. The Commission reviewed the plans for , , � � those items..Commissioner Vuksic pointed out that the range will�have . a vent through the.roof and Comrr�issioner Lambell was concerned on � how the water will drain�from the roof. Commissioner Vuksic said this is � made difficult because they were not provided with a roof plan to address roof slopes and vents and what they are d�oing with the vents, � and how the water is being diverted where different�planes are coming � � together. . - , , , . � . - Chair Van Vliet said the�lower rectangular wall in the front along the � , � street needs to be corrected as well as it currently shows three different � . configurations depending on what three plans you're looking ato He ' � wasn't sure what the applicant is proposing.

Mr. Melloni said the�drafter tried adding the cross- �� section B �nrhich is another inaccurate representation by the drafter on , , � the dimension�because on the site plan it shows as double thato �Mr. Melloni said he was hoping that the drafter was going to be here so the Commi�sion and staff could discuss the inconsistencies.

However, there are _ � still inaccuracies shown.- He recomrr�e�nded that the Commission continue this,and invite the�applicant to come�back with accurate plans � and a roof plan. � � � � . . : . Commissioner Vuksic said the roof plan ��also has to show the eave , � . details because the design is really dependent on the clean, pure finished product, vent locations and sizes, chim-ney, and the diversion of water. � �� -� The Commission discussed the wall heights and Mr. Melloni said they � . � are code compliant based on the grade. Again he pointed out that this rendering is inaccurate so we are not getting an�. idea of the.�patial � � : relation .of that wall to the face of curb. Based on the site plan, this � distance shou�ld be a lot greater. Commissioner McAuliffe said the � � � overall height is less of an issue because the wall is peeling back with � the layering of landscape. . � .ACTI O N:- � � . � , Chair Van Vliet moved to continue subject to� 1) submittal of correct renderings, elevations, cross sections on site plan; 2) all plans shall be internally consistent; � 3) submit� accurate renderings to show wall configurations; .4) submit a . complete roof plan to show roof slopes,�� chimneys, vent locations and sizes, eave details, and water diversion;,�and 5) submit a materials board.

This project . 1 � received preliminary approval by the Architectural Review Comrr,ission - � � (ARC) on October 9, 2018 and Planning Commission approval on � � � � November 20, 2018. In discussion with the architect, the applicant will � expand the footprint.of the approved building to create a 2'-9" by 9'-9" electrical closet at the southwest corner of"the building within a tower element. The increased tower �ro'ection creates an alcove to further�� - p J . incorporate the closet into.the massing of the building. The closet will face away from public streets towards the parking areas. To incorporate � � the new closet into the massing of the building, the applicant is � , proposing to increase the projection of the tower element; the original � tower projects 12" from�the buildings'� primary mass and the new tower projection will increase to 36". The closet itself will project 32" from the � building's primary mass. Access to the closet is provided from the � � . building exterior via a double door entry. The exterior of the closet will be finished with stucco to .match the building. No further modifications . to the site or architecture are proposed. Staff recommends approva�l of the design as shown. � � Commissioner Vuksic referred to the faux wood siding on the plans and � said it seerr�s different,than what is on the elevation. MS. TATJANA RADOJKOVIC, Architect, said the materials are shown on the elevation � not on the floor plans. The floor plans show the thickn�ess of the exterior � materials.

Commissioner Lambell - appreciated that the Comrnission is �seeing this now instead of being � depicted as an�add-on to the exterior and not architecturally compatible ; wit,h the building. MS. RADOJKOVIC said this will be incorporated inside the tower. Commissioner Vuksic thought there could be a more � elegant way to do this because right now it looks like an add-on. It � � seems like a hodgepodge of things happening in the tower that doesn't . � . look cohesive or though�t� through from a design standpoint. � � Commissioner McAuliffe said there is too much going on in the s ace. �� p To quiet this down he suggested rerr�oving the awning above the door and the wainscot. He said the recess makes sense and suggested the plane of the �wood material move forward of the�electrical cabinet. MS. RADOJKOVIC stated that this area was sort of the back of house and � _ not visible. Commissioner Vuksic said the ARC doesn't want to design this for them but he feels it will be visible. Chair Van Vliet said it didn't . � seenn that visible being on the interior corner. Commissioner Vuksic said if you are parking in that area and.going to a different suite or going to Denny',s, he felt you would lo�ok right at that�tower. ,� � � Commissioner Schmid left at 1:40 p.m. � � Commissioner�Vuksic suggested it would be helpful to bring out the legs . . .a little farther.so the stucco isr�'t in the same plane as that�siding material . and simplifying it as� suggested by Commissioner McAuliffe. He � � suggested they create some changes in plane and making it looked �finished. MS. RADOJKOVIC said those suggestions are doable. However, she is concerned with it being further down towards the other � . building. She said they�ca�n do a few inches to emphasize the different � materials. Commissioner Vuksic felt the mechanical door didn't need to � be recessed and suggested having four (4) door panels; one panel � . leading to the mechanical room, two panels leading to the electrical � roo�rr�, and one false panel.
