Note: Landmarlcs tabled <br />request on 12/10/07 and denied demolition certificate on 1/14/08. Committee meetings held on <br />2/25/08 and 3/03/08. <br />Mr. Schumann said that the subcommittee met twice with the applicant regarding their <br />development since the last Commission meeting. <br />Tom Liggett, project architect, said that during the committee meetings they discussed the <br />entryway and the architecture of the homes. They discussed the applicant purchasing the city <br />owned lot six parcels to the west, which is sixty feet wide and one hundred feet deep for <br />relocation of the historic home. Mr. Liggett provided a site layout showing the possible location <br />of the structure, possible addition, and detached garage. In regards to the architecture, Mr. <br />Liggett redesigned the front elevations from the original proposal to a Craftsmen style. They <br />have introduced more color for the units in beige, green and grays with white trim. They will <br />keep the same roof shingles and stone, but use a tapered column and base. The front entry of the <br />development has been softened from the formal feel to a more natural entry. Mr. Liggett moved <br />the street west and narrowed it to twenty two feet wide so the street opening will not conflict <br />with the neighbor's driveway. <br />Peggy Brown, project landscape architect, explained the types of evergreens at the entrance <br />which encompass different styles and shapes. The plants are old fashioned grasses and <br />perennials with a variety of flowers, using mostly purples, yellows and whites. Shrubbery will <br />be installed along the east property line. A small sign will denote the entry; the gazebo has been <br />removed and the fencing reduced to a small area of split rail fence on the east side of the entry.
