Review of potential Code changes. Chairman Wheeler explained that the members of the ARPB felt very strongly that the three items listed on the agenda should be brought to the Commission for a review. He further explained that there is no concern regarding this in the Beachfront and Ocean West Districts in that the lots are larger than in other districts. Their concerns are with the construction of two -story homes fitting into neighborhoods of one -story homes without destroying the character of the neighborhood. He closed by advising that the Board believed this could be somewhat controlled by lowering the maximum height of the first story eave. It was agreed that prior to any discussion of Items A & B, all present i would embark on a field trip to view examples of two -story structures with various one -story eave heights. All present departed at 9:15 A.M. The first stop on the tour was at the end of Old School Road where three structures were viewed with first story eave heights of 101611, 11' & 121. The second stop was at the west end of Middle Road where 3 structures were also viewed. One had a 12' eave on the garage, another had at 10' eave on the garage and a 12' eave on the structure and the third home had 10' first story eaves, which the Board Members felt was the most compatible with the neighborhood. The third stop was on Special Joint Workshop Meeting Town Commission /Architectural Review & Planning Board April 12, 2002 Page 2 Oleander where a two -story dwelling with a 1016" eave height had recently been constructed on a small lot between two single story homes. The tour was completed at 9:50 A.M. and the group returned to the Town Hall. �) Vice Mayor Orthwein asked for comments from the ARPB. Chairman Wheeler advised that staff had been directed to prepare proposed language to reduce first story eave heights on two -story structures by 18" in the "Preferred ", "Discouraged" and "Prohibited" sections in all Design Districts except Beachfront and Ocean West. In addition, a reduction of 18" in the roof height of two -story structures was to be included in the same Design Districts. The material was distributed to reflect the proposed changes. Vice Chairman Kent explained that while most of those submitting development applications have been cooperative and reduced the heights, there is a concern that there will continue to be more applications for two -story structures and it may not be possible to persuade applicants to reduce height while the Code actually permits a 12' height. He pointed out that in the recommendations, a 12' first -story eave height is not prohibited but is in the discouraged range. When a feature appears in the discouraged range, it is necessary for the applicant to prove why this will not be detrimental in any way. Mr. Kent advised that it is not uncommon for the Board to recommend approval of discouraged features if they are not found to be detrimental. A. Eave Height for one -story portions of two -story homes: Reduce from 12' to 11' for one -story rooms, and to 10'6" for garages (to address storage areas above garages that add to bulk) B. Overall Height in Core District on internal streets 1. Is 30' too high relative to existing one -story homes? It was agreed that the ARPB would, at their next meeting, prepare a formal recommendation to the Town Commission addressing Items A. & B. C. Metal Roofs (materials) Chairman Wheeler reminded that there had been an application to permit a revision of a previous approval for a wood shake roof in favor of a �) metal roof, but not the "Key West" style. He further reminded that the request had been denied in that the Code prohibits metal roofs. Chairman Wheeler added that this particular structure would not support a tile roof and that there are many others which will not support tile. The only alternative for a roof replacement is either asphalt or wood shakes, and it has been proven that since there have been mandatory code changes in the way wood shake roofs are installed, they do not hold up. The Chairman advised that the Board favored permitting certain types of metal roofing materials on re- roofing (not new construction) through some type of a special exception arrangement. 7 Special Joint Workshop Meeting Town Commission /Architectural Review & Planning Board April 12, 2002 Page 3 The Commission asked that this be included in a formal recommendation that will be presented to them in the near future.
