RECOMMENDATION/NEXT STEPS: Explore options to re-locate the new garage so that it does not obscure the house so dramatically. Some overlap would be fine, but placing the garage directly in front of the house permanently changes the streetscape view of the historic neighborhood. Suggestions included moving the garage to the right, flipping it so the car turning radius would be more manageable and the house was not obscured and exploring the angle of the garage relative to the house and the street to open up visibility. • Present combined elevations of the house and garage with new plan • Present a landscape plan in the area of the new garage to promote the wooded aesthetic of the neighborhood. Trees could be planted (but don't have to). Native plantings like rhododendron or mountain laurel found throughout the neighborhood would be appropriate as well. See the Turning Mill NCD Design Guidelines for more details. MOTION: Moved by Mr. Canale to continue the hearing to April 23 at 7:30PM to further discuss options for the placement of the garage and the post-construction landscaping plan.
