Final Design Review
Lot 57, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision — Gruber Residence [Tab 3]
Address: 2355 Saddleridge Loop
Project Type: Single-family Residence
Applicant/Property Owner: Ron Gruber
Consultant: Larry Casturita, Design Works Consultants
George Harrison summarized the staff report to the Commission. He said the staff
recommends final design approval for lot 57, Block 1, Wildridge, with the conditions as
follows:
1. All retaining walls be removed from the public right-of-way.
2. The driveway grade be revised to not exceed a maximum 10% grade.
3. The left elevation be revised to balance its vertical scale.
4. A window be added to the front elevation beneath the small dormer. -
5. The carriage exterior light fixtures (K-9707 OB) have frosted, rather than seedy
glass.
Commissioner Evans agreed with the staffs comments that the driveway should not
exceed a ten- percent grade. He asked the applicant which style of windows were they
going to use.
Ron Gruber said it would be the window frames shown in the plan.
Commissioner Evans said he liked the rock wall and he thought the window was a great
addition to the large wall. He asked the applicant why the bellybands were at different
levels and suggested that they be put all at the same elevation. He also suggested to
the applicant to use warmer colors on the outside of the home. He felt the two tones of
gray with the amount of stucco shown in the plans would look cold and uninviting.
Commissioner Stanley agreed with the rest of the Commissioner's comment regarding
the stone wall and the addition of the window. She said she would like to see the
landscaping go all the way around the house.
Commissioner Railton said she finds the river rock "heavy". She said the bellybands
should continue around the house, and only have rock around the pillars at the entrance
of the house. She stated the dormer looks as if it's been an after thought. She
suggested soil be added to the patio end of the house, as the wall seemed far too tall.
Commissioner Schneider asked if the roofing material was 3001b.
I
Ron Gruber the applicant presented to the staff a sample of roofing material that they
were going to use.
Commissioner Karow suggested that the elevations on the patio end of the house be
brought up another 2 feet. He also said he like the idea of bellybands going all the way
around the house.
George Harrison told the Commission that the retaining wall is close to the Right of
Way, so they brought the wall in to allow plants and shrubbery in the space.
Larry Casturita with Design Works Consultants said the applicant would be willing to
work with the staff regarding the bellybands, and raising the soil elevations on the left
side.
Commissioner Dantas moved to approve final design for lot 57, Block 1, Wildridge
subdivision, subject to conditions 1 —5 as stated in the staff report. Commissioner
Stanley seconded the motion with Commissioner Railton opposing the motion.
