3 Page 3 Derek Westen Rita Walters Mike Hageland Pat Barts Paul Nolan MaryJo Kirkland-Letter 1. Want to acknowledge that this is a very challenging project for all involved 2. Neighborhood is in transition and the site is steep and very constrained 3. Applicant has addressed all site, height, bulk and scale issues; additionally, setbacks and garage plate height have been reduced 4. It is now a much more cohesive design, more restrained; a vast improvement 5. The role of the Board is to find a balance between preserving the community and the rights of the individual; the process has worked in this case, can support the project 6. Original design was not approvable; the design has come a long way 7. Now it is a very good design considering the constraints of the site 8. The project has been before the MBAR seven times; this is not necessarily a bad thing, but often times a sign of letting go and showing recognition of things that have needed to be changed. 9. The project has gotten better with each visit. 10. It appears, on at least two sides, to be a fairly modest house; the south side is the largest and most pronounced but does not face any neighbors. 11. Encourage the applicants to work with the neighbors on abutting side towards mutually acceptable landscaping 12. If possible, a circular cutaway under stair would be more logical and cut down on the mass 13. Applicants have made many changes 14. MBAR is required to work with neighborhood compatibility definition in the guidelines; the definition is the relationship between surrounding structures and their settings so that the effect of all structures taken together is aesthetically pleasing, keeping the neighborhood in harmony and balance. 15. The actual definition of compatibility is capable of existing in harmony 16. No problem with the house as presented if it was living in a vacuum; it is not, it lives in a neighborhood 17. Cannot make the compatibility finding 18. Preliminary approval with conditions that the applicant look at the stair at the east elevation regarding architectural shape and re-examine the landscaping plan.
