Re: Lot 26, Block 3, Wildridge Subdivision (Burkhard Duplex) — Final Design Review
On February 2, 1999, the Commission voted to deny Final Design approval of this residential
duplex citing the following reasons:
1. The architectural style is not compatible with the surrounding area.
2. Massing, particularly the east roof, and more specifically Unit 1's expansive roof, and the
massing of Unitl's unbroken west elevation.
3. The concrete, there is no reason for it to be there.
4. The randomness of the project. It is trying to be two different buildings, yet does not go
for enough along that vein. However, via the nature of its materials and roof planks it still
tries to look like one design, but by the nature of the differences already mentioned the
two duplex units do not have a unified design, resulting in a haphazard appearance that is
not compatible with the neighborhood.
On March 9, 1999, the applicant appealed the Commission's denial to the Town Council. At that
meeting, the applicant agreed to redesign the south unit's window pattern and address the
expansive roof critique. The Council voted to remand the project's Final Design Review back to
the Commission.
The applicant has now submitted revised plans for Final Design. Please refer to the attached
letter dated April 6, 1999 for an explanation of the project's design modifications. The original
January 15, 1999 staff report and the March 9, 1999 Town Council minutes are also attached for
your reference.
