Previous ARC Recommendations: 

12/19/23: The ARC voted to defer the application for additional review. The ARC noted the setbacks indicated on the proposed site plan on Sheet 1.10 are incorrect and do not match the site survey provided on Sheet 1.2. A setback of less than 3’-0” at the left and right sides will likely impact the overall building massing and the amount of fenestration possible at the side elevations. The ARC also agreed that:

• The applicant should update the site plan and adjust the proposal, as necessary, to comply with the setback requirement or obtain the necessary waivers, so the ARC can better understand the proposed exterior massing and window sizes and locations.

• The shutters at the front camelback windows are too wide and should be revised or eliminated.

• The camelback windows should be adjusted to be slightly taller and more vertical in proportion. 

• The 2nd floor window closest to the rear of the building on the left side should be shifted forward slightly and away from the building corner.
