Public comment: Nancy Emerson, Karen Pheeny Appreciate the glazing together with the large overhang. Appreciate how sensitive the design is in terms of siting. Appreciate the use of modern forms combined with natural materials that reference the rural nature of the site. Explore darker metal or core-ten on the fascia.

(Continued from 5/13/16, 6/10/16 & 8/12/16) Public comment: Nancy Emerson The restroom box may not fit; the stone material and boxiness doesn t work The restroom is too utilitarian in appearance and would be more inviting if it were designed more along the style of the cottages Could consider stone or brick and wood combination with a roof for the bathrooms. Old oversized brick is an option Ok with the two different roof colors on the 6-key buildings Important to stick with darker, more recessive colors Explain how storm water management requirements are addressed in the landscaping Identify tree types at the next meeting Like the reconfiguration of buildings Could consider clapboard on some buildings Applicant has been really responsive to the boards comments The design has come a long way; programming and site planning is starting to jell Bring lighting details Landscape and plans look colorful, to scale, and match descriptions on plans. The flow of the pathway has a nice feel. Support using treated decomposed granite on paths and sacrificing permeability. With regard to addressing the linearity issue, the project has progressed even more; the landscape architect did a great job pulling landscaping together and making it cohesive. Appreciate how different spaces have developed in the site s interior. The palm court is very nice nice sense of privacy, ties in with history and vernacular.
Page 6 The chef s garden seems small; needs to be bigger to be truly functional; needs to be a more deliberate part of the design, not off to the edge. 12. 16BAR-00000-00166 Attached Garage, Guest House and Barn, Lot 7 Gaviota 00000-00166 for conceptual review of a new residence of approximately 7,135 square feet, attached garage of approximately 1,000 square feet, guest house of approximately 675 square feet and barn of approximately 1,150 square feet.
