Sketch Design Plan - Wildridge Duplex Property Location: Lot 9, Block 4, Wildridge Subdivision / 5750 Wildridge Applicant: Courtney Giphart /Owner. Roger Michaud Description: Sketch Design review for a large duplex on Wildridge Road East. Matt Pielsticker presented the Staff Report to the Commission. Commissioner Struve questioned the allowable grades for driveways and remarked that the house to the west was a single family. Courtney Giphart, project architect, approached the podium to answer questions from the Commission. Ms. Giphart commented on the retaining wall and the change of the materials for the wall to cultured stone. Commissioner Evans questioned grading and voiced that more walls would be needed for the site. Commissioner Green commented on the incomplete site plan provided. Commissioner Evans commented that only one third of the retaining walls were presented, the plans did not consider site constraints and the project was not properly designed to the site. Commissioner Foster was concerned with the building's massive size compared to the neighboring properties, suggested setting one side behind the other, and was unclear regarding the breezeway function. Commissioner Struve suggested the breezeway could be another garage. Commissioner Lane had issue with the mass and the roof particularly the dormers and reiterated the need for accurate drawings. Commissioner Smith voiced agreement with Commissioner Foster. Ms. Giphart responded to the site disturbance issue raised. Commissioner Evans suggested Ms. Giphart review other driveways in the area to get an idea of driveway configuration. Commissioner Struve expressed it was too much driveway, could get to site without a switchback, house was too big for site, 14 foot drop off was potentially dangerous, the connection between the two sides need attention and make the project sit on the lot better with landscaping and one duplex higher than the other. Commissioner Goulding agreed with his fellow Commissioners, suggested getting the roof to fall with the grade, landscaping needs to be built up, and exterior accents need to be tied together better for cohesiveness. VII. Sign Design Application Property Location: Lot 24, Block 1, Benchmark Subdivision / 830 Nottingham Road Applicant: Gerard Healey, Alpine Glass/ Owner: Merrill Fie, Gates Leasing Co.
