have been made since the Sketch Design submittal. Andrew stated that the changes were
due to the cost of the addition.

Commissioner Lane questioned the material for the chimney flue. Andrew responded that it
was currently metal, but stated they were will still trying to tie that material down.
Commissioner Green stated that the long ridge wasn't all that interesting when compared to
the entry elevation. He also stated that the drawings provided in the packet were better on the
east elevation. He appreciated the material selection and provided variety in Wildridge.
Commissioner Green questioned the Landscaping Plan and stated that he would like to see a
more natural plan.
Commissioner Lane agreed with the previous comments on the Landscape Plan. He stated
that he appreciates all of the materials and likes the proposal. He questioned the stucco joints
that were shown on the plans. Andrew Abraham responded that they have removed the joints.
Commissioner Prince questioned the solar panel placement. Andrew Abraham stated that
they are still looking at solar panel options and wanted to use a flush mounted system if
possible.
Commissioner Prince also questioned the color palette that would be used on the bricks.
Andrew Abraham outlined the entire color palette used on the addition.
Commissioner Struve asked what the owner's opinions were on the Miramonte design. She
stated that she liked it and thought it was refreshing. Commissioner Struve asked what the
changes in the addition size were. Andrew Abraham responded that the overall size of the
addition will be close to 1000 square feet.
Commissioner Goulding was unsure with the different style of architecture for the addition. He
is concerned with the compatibility with neighboring properties. He questioned the number of
trees lost due to this addition. Andrew Abraham responded that there was a single tree lost.
Commissioner Goulding stated that he wanted to see a better blending of new tree sizes with
the mature tree sizes. He questioned the illumination of the solar panels and sky light when
viewed from neighboring properties. Andrew Abraham responded that the location of the sky
light in the mud room and should be minimal. He also stated that the angle of the solar panels
should be at an angle that would reduce reflectivity.
Commissioner Evans stated that he likes everything proposed with the exception of the
unbroken ridge line and the flue pipes. He stated that the wind and rain noise will be intensive
with the large flues. He suggested going with a direct vent solution. He agreed with the
varying of sizes in the plantings comments that were made earlier in the review.
No formal action taken as it is only Sketch Design review.
