Item 5 - Exhibit 04 - Project DescriptionPROJECT DESCRIPTION
THIS PROJECT IS LOCATED ON A CORNER HILLSIDE SITE THAT PROPOSES THE DEMOLITION
OF AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AND EXISITNG ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
THAT ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE MOST LEVEL AREA OF THE SITE. WHEREAS THIS AREA OF
THE SITE COULD BE CONSIDERED AS THE “LEAST RESTRICTIVE DEVELOMENT AREA”, THE
VIEW IMPACTS THAT WOULD AFFECT ADJACENT PROPERTIES AS WELL AS RIDGELINE VIEW
PROTECTION HAVE DICTATED THAT THE NEW RESIDENCE BE LOCATED NEAR THE LOWEST
PORTION OF THE SITE. THE PROPOSED RESIDENCE AND DRIVEWAY IS LOCATED ON AREAS
WITH A SLOPE BELOW 30%. THIS AREA ALSO PROVIDES THE LEAST AMOUNT OF
DISTURBANCE AND IMPACT TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS AND ENVIRONMENT.
THE PROJECT INCLUDES A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE WITH A FLOOR AREA BELOW THE
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE HEIGHT AND FLOOR AREA. PARKING IS LOCATED BELOW GRADE AND
OUT OF VIEW. THE RESIDENCE HAS A FLAT ROOF WITH MASSING ELEMENTS THAT STEP
BACK AND INTEGRATE INTO THE HILLSIDE. BECAUSE THE RESIDENCE IS TUCKED INTO THE
HILLSIDE, FLOOR AREA BELOW GRADE INCLUDES LIGHTWELLS TO PROVIDE EGRESS, LIGHT
AND VENTILATION.
ON SITE PARKING INCLUDES 3 GUEST PARKING STALLS AND 3 ENCLOSED PARKING STALLS.
A LANDSCAPE PLAN WAS DESIGNED TO MITIGATE THE VISUAL IMPACT OF THE RESIDENCE
AND MINIMIZE GRADING FOR THE DRIVEWAY.
