Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission’s Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6.10, the Commission shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project.

Conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable regulations of the Town.
Building Height: Proposed: 33’6”. 35 feet maximum allowed.
Grading: Grading Plan needs to show details of proposed grading on East Side of driveway. Also, as drawn, grading in driveway will drain into the east duplex unit.
Landscaping: there are some larger existing shrubs on the site that the plan states will be transplanted. Staff supports the applicant’s efforts to retain existing vegetation. The
neighbor to the west has landscaped a portion of the western property. If the neighbor does not remove this encroachment, it should be retained, as it is an attractive planting area.
The suitability of the improvement, including type and quality of materials including materials of which it is to be constructed and the site upon which it is to be located.
The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
The attachment of the units with the elevated deck results in the building covering a larger portion of the site than a more conventionally attached duplex.
The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring properties and public ways.
The objective that no improvement be so similar or dissimilar to others in the vicinity that values, monetary or aesthetic will be impaired.
