Christensen COA Z-9681 - (Patterson) 416 North Montana - A Certificate of Appropriateness Application to allow the extension of northern roof rafters through the peak by 3' for overhang of clerestory windows and a new roof on south wall to extend over front entry, deck and walk. Jason Christensen joined the DRB and displayed a colored rendering and distributed comments from neighbors. Planner Dean Patterson reviewed the project. (Staff Report is on file at the Planning Office.) Mr. McCrone inquired if this is a narrow lot. Planning Director Andrew Epple clarified that Mr. Christensen had received a deviation from the City several years ago to allow an addition to the rear of the house. Chairperson Chisholm noted that he had visited with Mr. Christensen on site. He asked Mr. Christensen to explain his project. Mr. Christensen clarified the changes that had been made in the application. Chairperson Chisholm noted that he had visited with the applicant and discussed lighting for the interior. Mr. Christensen noted that he and his friend have built several models with different series of windows. He explained the lighting on the proposed model, and the location of the rooms and basement. He presented pictures of homes in the neighborhood that have clerestory windows, dormers, metal roofing materials, and other different roof styles. Mr. Willett inquired if the applicant had considered not running the clerestory windows all the way to the front of the building. Mr. Christensen noted that he had, however, he and his friend have planned a cathedral ceiling, leaving the original 1930's roof structure in place for interior design. Mr Gleye noted that this is an appropriate design as the neighborhood is in transition. 2 Mr. Willett noted that there is little history left to preserve in the neighborhood. Mr. Noonan concurred with Staff's recommendations. Mr. McCrone noted that he concurs and, with the neighbors in support of the project, he feels it should be approved. Ms. Katz concurred, and supports the project. She noted that condition #2 shouldn't be an issue. Planner Patterson noted that several changes have been made in the color rendering to meet Conditions #143. Mr. Cruwys suggested that a fascia above the clerestory windows would clean up the view. Discussion ensued on the porch ceiling. Ms. Walker concurred with the discussion thus far and complimented the thought that had gone into the project. Chairperson Chisholm noted that the applicant has created a different vocabulary by using different materials and suggested using a different material for the porch roof supports. Mr. Christensen noted that he plans to use lodge poles, but the supports won't be so twisted. He also noted that the stairs into the basement are made of log. Discussion ensued on the roof supports. Ms. Walker inquired if Condition #4 is necessary, and if Staff would support the changes that have been made. Planner Patterson indicated that Staff would support the changes and Condition #4 is not needed if #1-3 have been met. Ms. Walker moved, Mr. Gleye seconded, that the submittal be approved with Condition #1 - that the changed submittal is the accepted submittal and Condition #2 - that all subsequent changes be approved by Staff, and Staff's condition #5. Mr. Noonan noted that the rendering is a mixture of the original submittal and the ideas discussed today. He moved to amend the motion to change condition #1 from "as submitted" to "as discussed, including the applicant's change of the cut-away ceiling appearance, the clerestory reduction, the recommendation on the support structure for the entryway, the ceiling treatment over of the entryway, and approval of the green standing seam roofing. Mr. Cruwys seconded the motion, which carried unanimously by voice vote. The amended motion carved unanimously by voice vote. 3
