Zoning Planned Unit Development (PUD) — 2 units
Address 5391 Ferret Lane
Introduction
Town staff has determined that during its construction this project's design has been modified.
On September 29, 1997 town staff informed the applicants that any design modifications require
approval before a certificate of occupancy will be issued. The applicants are now seeking
approval for the following design modifications:
1. Replacement of sliding glass doors on the rear (south) elevation to standard panel doors.
2. Elimination from the eastern unit of a cantilevered upper floor area. The exterior wall is now
flush.
3. Replacement vertical siding with horizontal siding on the western unit's rear eastern wall.
4. Elimination of a shed roof overhang from the eastern unit's rear elevation.
5. Elimination of four redwood attic vents.
Staff has approved the addition of a window to the western unit's upper west elevation.
Design Review Considerations
According to the Commission's Procedures, Rules & Regulations, Section 6. 10, the Commission
shall consider the following items in reviewing the design of this project:
1. Conformance with the Zoning Code and other applicable regulations of the Town.
2. The suitability of the improvement, including type and quality of materials of which it is to be
constructed and the site upon which it is to be located.
3. The compatibility of the design to minimize site impacts to adjacent properties.
4. The compatibility of the proposed improvements with site topography.
5. The visual appearance of any proposed improvement as viewed from adjacent and neighboring
properties and public ways.
Staff supports approval of proposed modifications 1-3 listed above. However, staff does not
support eliminating the eastern unit's shed roof overhang or eliminating the attic vents. The
shed roof overhang provides the rear elevation verticality relief. The attic vents provide
additional detailing to otherwise blank wall space.
