Recommendation:
That the City Council by minute motion affirm the action of the Architectural
Review Commission dated November 23, 2004.
Discussion:
Background:
This is a request for an 8' high pedestrian entry gate only. There is an existing 6'
wall enclosing the front and street side yards. The entry gate element is 12'
wide. The existing permitted 6' high front and street side yard wall will be
finished with stucco to match the house. The applicant requested ARC approval
of the 8' high entry gate within the wall system facing Grapevine. The entry gate
transitions from the 6' height of the perimeter wall to 8' at the gate. This
transition area is curved and increases the setback from the curb from 15' to 19'
in the area of the gate.

Commissioner Hanson stated that, "the houses across the street are low, old-
style homes and the proposed house is rather tall and you need a taller element
on the wall to reinforce the height difference between what is around it and that
house."
The wall will be landscaped with Washingtonian Fliferas and Olive trees on both
sides of the wall to lessen the impact of the height.
Upon review of the entryway and landscape plans the commission determined
that the wall was adequately landscaped and architecturally compatible with the
neighborhood.
