APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Regular Meeting of 3/19/09 MOTION by Simmons/Neuberger to approve the P&Z meeting minutes of 3/19/09. Motion was approved on roll call. OLD BUSINESS: NONE NEW BUSINESS: A. ACCESSORY STRUCTURE REVIEW -SECTION 54-2-7.5 - 1565 QUIESCENT LANE - 1,000 SF DETACHED GARAGE - EDUARDO GIAMBANCO Chmn Paul asked the applicant to make his presentation. Gary Gehrke of North South Builders explained that the property owners have a unity of title for back-to-back lots. The main house faces Quiescent Lane and the back lot fronts on Ridgely Lane. One issue is the facade of the garage. Ms. Bosworth recommended that it be done to match the main house but Mr. Gehrke believes that the neighborhood on Ridgely would want it to look more like the houses that would be adjacent to the garage. The garage roof would be hip style. The garage will be used to store Mr. Giambanco's boat and trailer. Mr. Gehrke said the roof color of the main house is burnt sienna, which is like a terracotta red. However, that color would not match the other homes that front on Ridgely. E 2 a a ~~ PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 16, 2009 Ms. Bosworth added they meet the requirements for setbacks. The garage is higher than the house however, since fill would not be needed for the garage construction as it would for a house, the line of sight would appear the same. Also, it will not be higher than the house it would be closest to on Ridgely. With regard to the architectural design, it does not meet that requirement. The main house has three different facade materials, a brick footwall, stucco, and T-111. Before the Commission tonight is to decide whether to have the garage match the main house or the houses it will be closest to. Also, anything over 750 SF requires landscaping, hedges or bushes around the building. Thirty-seven shrubs are required for this size structure. Would the commission prefer the roof color to match the main house or the houses the structure is adjacent to? Mr. Dodd preferred the garage architecturally match the residences on Ridgely and the color could match the main house. Mr. Simmons agreed with Mr. Dodd. Mr. Blais agrees that the structure should match the home at 1574 Ridgely. Mr. Simmons asked about notification of this application to the neighbors. Ms. Bosworth explained that this is a permitted use and only requires commission review when the square footage exceeds 500 square feet. As this is not a public hearing process, the neighbors were not notified. Chmn. Paul favored the garage to be designed similar to the main house which is also somewhat like the house at 1550 Ridgely Lane. Mr. Blais explained the close proximity of the garage to 1574 Ridgely make it a better choice to have the garage similar to that design. Mr. Cardinale was concerned about blunting the look of the garage with foliage. MOTION by Dodd/Neuberger to approve the accessory structure located at 1565 Quiescent Lane to include condition number one from the staff report with condition number two being that the accessory structure architecturally match the residence located at 1574 Ridgely Lane. ROLL CALL: Mr. Paul no Mr. Neuberger yes Mr. Dodd yes Mr. Hepler yes Mr. Blais yes Mr. Simmons yes Mr. Cardinale yes The vote was 6-1. Motion passed. B.
