TYPE: Committee-of-the-Whole I. ITEMS OF DISCUSSION ~. DR-8?-OG9 - Pan Cal, 209G0 BoWhill Ct., review of S,417 sq. two-story single-family home in the NHR zoning district (toni. from 8/28/87>. Planner Caldwell reminded the Commission of the issues brought up at the 8/28/87 Planning Commission meeting and added that 42%, 31%, S2% and S4% of the front, rear. rig'hi and left elevations roof profile exceed 28 ft. in height. Mr. Oakley, designer, presented revised plans showing a change in the pitch of the roof from an8/12 pitch to a ?/12 pitch. and reduction in the height of the home by decreasing the ceiling heights. As a result, the length of %he front elevation roof line that exceeded 28 ft. was decreased. In general, the Committee was. pleased with the proposed revisions, but felt that the home was too large for the lot and a reduction in floor area was needed to reduce the perceived bulk of the home. The Committee suggested that at a minimum, the "breezeway" between the garage and studyshould be eliminated as a way to reduce the ?loot area and the width of the home. ~ consensus was reached that the applicant should reduce the square footage of the residence to approximately 4~800 sq. ft. and'reduce the width of the home. B. DR-87-070 - Pan Cal, 20985 Bowhill Ct., review of 5,095 sq. two-story single family home in, the NHR zoning district (toni. from 8/28/87) Mr. Oakley, designer, indicated that the only revision he made to the plans was to install a small window along the left elevation at the rear home. He explained that the roof pitch could not be changed since it was already a't a 8/12 pitch. Mr. Oakley suggested that flattening certain areas o~ the roof could result in a two-foot reduction at points along specific elevations. A discussion followed on how the height of a structure was measured. Planner Caldwell explained th~t staff excluded basements or crawl spaces when measuring the height. Mr. Oakley responded by saying that his height calculations always included the crawl space. The Committee reached a consensus that a decrease in the height of the home was .necessary to reduce the perception of height and bulk and agreed that the crawl space should always be included when measuring the height of a home.
