Previous ARC Recommendations: 

09/16/25: The ARC voted to defer this application for additional review.  

The ARC made the following recommendations:

• Explore the relationship of the building massing, including the relationship between the recessed porch & the massing overhead, and the relationship between the left & right side massing to prioritize the building entry rather than the garage;

• Adjust the roof ridgeline to align with the change in massing;

• Increase the depth of the front porch to 5 feet and maintain the full width at the steps;

• Investigate leftside aligning the pair of upper story windows with the ground floor porch windows below;

• Replace the panel cladding at the front porch with lap siding, and consider using differently sized lap siding to distinguish between the two masses;

• Evaluate adding a framed screening element above the garage door and maintain the top alignment with the entry door trim;

• Ensure all trim width is consistent throughout; and

• Remove vent at porch chainwall. 

08/19/25: The ARC voted to defer this application for additional review.  

The ARC made the following recommendations:

• Reverse the roof pitch to reduce the massing at the primary, street-facing façade,

• Explore a setback of the third-floor volume above the second-floor balcony,

• Simplify the cladding’s texture and tone for a more cohesive overall massing,

• Study the alignment of window openings,

• Align the garage door header height with the ground-floor entry door,

• Investigate more expressive window recess or framed trim, and

• Examine options for vertical railing.
