Introduction
This project is a new 3107 s.f. duplex, 1553 s.f per side, not including garages. The proposed
siding materials include wood shingles on the upper level, Masonite on the main level and stucco
on the lower level. Roofing is architectural fiberglass shingles. Flues and flashing are painted
galvanized metal. The application, building and landscape materials lists and plan set are attached
for your review.
Staff Comments
This project was originally reviewed by the Commission on March 21, 1995. Based on the
Commission's and staffs comments, the applicant redesigned the building and access. The
building no longer presents a mirror image, and to reduce the prominence of the garages, one
garage and associated entryway have been moved from the south elevation to the west elevation.
Vehicle access to this lot is via a shared driveway easement with Lot 88 (easement document
attached), which in turn connects with Old Trail Road. Vehicles would turn around, if necessary,
by backing out from either driveway onto the shared driveway, then proceeding to Old Trail
Road.
The Commission has expressed some concern over the use of Masonite siding on other structures.
The Wildridge Subdivision Architectural and Landscape Design Guidelines expressly prohibit this
material. However, the Town's Design Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6.25 C.
"Building Materials", specifically describe a number of "normally disallowed materials," but
Masonite and similar products are not mentioned. The Wildridge covenants were adopted in
1979; the Town's regulations in 1987.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Design Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6. 10, the Commission shall
consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project:
1. Conformance with the Zonina Code and other applicable regulations of the Town.
