(This item was deleted from the agenda.)
C. Draft of Construction Rules and Regulations
Commissioner Sipes suggested that dirt removal and excavating be specifically addressed
in the proposed rules. Mr. Matzko suggested that the word "lot" be added right before
single family residence. The Commission was in agreement to add the word "lot".
Commissioner Karow suggested that the word "animals" on construction sites should be
changed to "dogs". He said that we should put the exact words from the Title 6, which
does say "physically restrained or in an enclosure". Commissioner Evans said he is
disappointed to see that Electrical Contractors are exempt from paying Contractors
Registration fees. Ms. Borne said the problem with modifying this is that it conflicts with
the current Code. Ms. Borne asked for some input on the disclaimer on the last page.
She stated that we have to tie the building permit holder rather than the owner to the
permit. This is the reason why we are having the permit holder sign this document. The
Commission suggested that an attachment go along with this document stating what code
the Town is currently using.
D. Letter on Lot C, Town Center
Commission Fehlner said using words such as proportion, massing, hierarchy projections
verses just recesses fails to convey the requisite articulation we are looking for. She said
she is concerned because the developer of Lake View Terraces is going to build this
project and I am concerned that they are going to build another pre -fab building.
Under architectural expression, she recommended that they need to study are articulation
such as recesses of balconies and dormers. I would say projections terracing of elements
to avoid that tall vertical element so that they understand the stepping of mass. The lack
of proportion of going from one building to another is of concern. The hierarchy of the
building or the buildings. The courtyard is not a cohesive entrance. The grand entry is
through the time-share. The roof reads like a thin line.
