ARPB Regular Meeting
& Public Hearing 7-28-16
@ 8:30 A.M.
Rustem Kupi, Architect for this project, explained that there is a very
large Banyan tree in the front yard that they want to save and in order
to do this the house has been designed with two single car garages, one
on each end of the front elevation, leaving the tree in between the two
driveways. He pointed out that while the lot is large enough to
accommodate a two-story home, they choose to build a one-story which
fits with the character of the neighborhood. He pointed out that the
C ridge line of the roof extends 4" into the discouraged area in order to
get the pitch break on the house to look good. Mr. Kupi said they will
be keeping the existing pool but will be lowering the edge so the top of
the pool will be lower than the finished floor elevation of the new
house.
Dave Bodker said the tree that is being preserved is in very good
condition and a number of the other existing trees will be relocated on
the property. He pointed out that there is a very large ficus hedge on
both sides and across the rear of the property, most of which will
remain, with a small amount to be replaced.
The Town Clerk, in answer to a question from Mr. Murphy, advised that
Mrs. Weatherbie, a neighbor, had called. She said a copy of the
drawings had been sent to her and apparently there were no objections.
All of the Board Members complimented Mr. Kupi and Mr. Bodker on their
designs.
a. Demolition Permit to demolish existing dwelling.
Mr. Murphy moved to recommend approval of a Demolition Permit to
demolish the existing single family dwelling and Mr. Smith seconded the
motion with all voting AYE at roll call.
b. Land Clearing Permit to prepare a portion of the site
for new structure.
A motion was made by Mr. Murphy recommending approval of a Land Clearing
permit to prepare a portion of the site for the new structure. Vice
Chairman Smith seconded the motion and all voted AYE at the roll call.
c. Level 3 Architectural Site Plan Review to permit the
construction of a one-story, 4,753 square foot, single
family, Anglo Caribbean style dwelling with attached
2 -car garage.
Mr. Murphy then moved to recommend approval of a Level 3
Architectural/Site Plan based on a finding that the proposed
construction of a one-story, 4,753 SF, single family, Anglo Caribbean
Ostyle dwelling with attached 2 -car garage meet the minimum intent of the
Design Manual and applicable review standards with the following
conditions: 1) The electric service lines shall be buried. 2) Any minor
modifications in the landscape plan shall be submitted to the Town
Manager for review and approval and any major modifications shall be
