representative
Steve opened the meeting. The Boazd commented that no secretary was present to record
the meeting. Staff offered to record meeting.
Sven -the definition of inflection needs to be better defined by staff and inflection is
applicable to this project.
Jan - We have dealt with inflection and have complied with the 1 story element of the
Bibbig House. There are no light wells and we intend to comply with the standards that
are applicable and will articulate the facade.
Roger - is the drive public or private (response from staff that it is private)
Stan -let's focus the discussion on the "street"
Roger -the public view plane should be from the bike path and the park
Jan - we will use landscape to screen the west and north and river, common elements will
be...(showed photos)
Stan -there is no street that the property directly relates to and staff cannot grant
vaziances from the design standazds that is why this is before this board
the applicant should not be absolved from the standazds and should choose an orientation
in lieu of a street, what does DRAC prefer?
Roger -what is the recommendation regarding the river?
Stan - We didn't specify
Jan -the living and dining aze oriented to the river, southwest orientation, street front is
an easterly direction facing pazk avenue, the front property line is the one share with the
adjacent Bibbig property, we have used the variable setback from Garrish Pazk and the
minimum setback is 10 feet from the park
Roger -streets are the public viewplane so the orientation to the river and Garrish Park
aze similar public viewplanes
Jan showed the elevations of the proposed homes
DRAC MINS. 11/9/95
Tom Lane (neighbor) -this project does not influence us but increased traffic onto Pazk
Avenue is a problem. The intersection should be fixed.
Shady Lane (neighbor) -has the same comments
Sven -staff needs to expand the definition of "street" to include public ways other than a
typical street
Roger - I move to find that there is no street so the primary public view is to the south &
west, the applicant should take into account the massing and scale for public viewplane,
the principal location of the site plan and drive as presented meets the criteria and
recommend granting the required vaziances
Jake - 1st, there is no street so there should be no reference to a street, looking at the
adding conditions the applicants has responded with: orientation of mass and healthy
setback from the pazk, narrow small scale forms, the presentation to arrivals is of concern
were the garage door is located, make the driveway more of a green space. In general I do
not have much problems.
~- Roger -work with the gazage door and the public view plane and the articulation of the
massing
Jake - we need to see the south elevations
