gabled end on the garage to a hip roof to match the rest of the house.
Mr. Linares recalled that the Board had commented that there appeared to
Obe too much glass on the rear elevation. He said that the calculations

He pointed out that there will be a master bedroom and a guest
bedroom on the first floor and three guest bedrooms on the second
O floor. He said that the front wall will tie into the existing walls
on each side of the property. In answer to a question from the Vice
Chairman, Mr. Linares explained that the large slatted area on the
front wall is just an architectural feature to break up the stucco
wall. Mr. Roach pointed out that there is quite a grade difference
as measured at AIA and at the finished floor elevation of the
house. He believed the houses on each side will be overshadowed with
this structure and look very massive. Mr. Linares believed they
could lower the second floor a bit. Mr. Linares said they could
lower the gatehouse and probably lower the main structure
approximately 2 ft.
Chairman Kent said there are several vertical features that can be
reduced to lesson this vertical appearance.
It was pointed out that the chimney exceeds the 35' maximum and Mr.
Linares thought that when he lowers the eave heights the chimney may
be brought into conformity. It was also questioned if the clay pot
on the top of the chimney was appropriate to which Mr. Linares
replied that there are other features that could be used.
Mr. Murphy moved to defer this application to 8:30 A.M. on February
