VII. Final Design Review
Sutter Residence
Property Location: Lot 12, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision 15712 Wildridge Road East
Applicant 1 Owner: Ryan Sutter
Description: A resubmittal of a previously approved Final Design application. The proposed
design is similar to the previously approved design, but does include modifications to the
proposed structure. The proposed structure is proposed to be slightly smaller that the
previously approved design and will have stone, wood siding and wood shingles and will use
asphalt and cor-ten as roofing materials.
Discussion: Jared Barnes highlighted the changes to the design, including the reduction in
floor area size to 5,500 square feet. Approximately half of the conditions of approval from the
original proposal have been addressed. The height has been lowered, and the landscaping
has been increased substantially.
Ryan Sutter approached the podium to explain the design changes that were performed. The
building footprint was reduced by 1,000 feet as one of the changes, and this was a result of
the NE side of the building being eliminated between the two parts of the building.
Commissioners Green and Lane did not object to the new proposal. Commissioner Lane
questioned how long the greenhouse would be on the site, and the applicant responded that it
was somewhat dependent on the season when the building is constructed. It will be removed
by TCO of the building.
Commissioner Prince questioned the use of maple trees. Ryan Sutter responded that he
would like to keep the plantings more drought tolerant and given the green building guidelines
being pursued the maple trees will not be used.
Commissioner Struve suggested the use of a full -cutoff light fixture if the architectural style can
be found.
Commissioner Goulding questioned the driveway grade discrepancy. He questioned the use
of solar panels. Ryan Sutter responded that it will be stubbed in for solar and they will be
evaluating solar possibilities as the technology evolves. Mr. Goulding would like to see a cut -
sheet on the solar panels prior to installment.
Commissioner Evans suggested the use of snow clips where metal roofing is being proposed
due to dangers of falling ice.
Commissioner Goulding motioned to approve the application with findings as outlined in Staff's
Report and with the following conditions: conditions 1-6 as outlined in Staff's Report, #7 the
greenhouse be removed prior to TCO, #8 a new cutsheet for the light fixtures to be approved
by staff, #9 resubmit the solar panels when applicable, and #10 the use of snowclips to be
