Introduction
The applicant describes this duplex as a “chalet” styled building. The east unit measures 3,422 square feet while the west measures 4,290 square feet. Exterior materials consist of stucco
and horizontal wood siding.
The site is extremely steep, with slope ranging from 20% to 30%. It possesses two frontages, one on each of its uphill and downhill sides.
At its June 1, 1999 meeting, the Commission tabled the project to give the applicants a chance to address some of the concerns raised by staff and the Commission regarding the drawings
and architectural design. The drawings have been revised to address the concerns. The applicant has requested one change to the submitted plans. He would like to change the soffit
detail from a box soffit to a square cut soffit as shown on the north building elevation on the large color board.
