Page 4 James Celaluan 1. Like the style and general siting of the house. MBAR has no objection to the size of the project. But the house has a lot of bulk and mass for the tight building area (surrounded by slopes). Perception is that the house will loom over the neighborhood. Pull back from street and lower height overall. 2. Consider lowering 14 foot ceiling at the first floor. Also consider lowering parapet. 3. Second story is acceptable, but restudy to press down, pull back and tighten up. 4. Restudy height of the structure. Height needs to be lowered. 5. Return with sections through the house and down to the street. 6. Landscaping could provide ample screening for neighbors and will be critical to the success of the project. Study screening and return with landscape plan. No action taken. The project can return for further conceptual/preliminary approval with the consent of the planner.
