2. The Board found that the proposed house would have four sides of hardiboard siding in Heather Moss with decorative stonework on the front facade and chimney. The stonework would be El Dorado Stone Montecito Cliff Stone, rectangular shaped stones in natural tones.  The house plans should be revised to note the stonework to wrap around

on the side elevations. In addition, the hardiboard siding should be

brought down to a maximum of 8 inches above grade on all elevations.

 

3. The Board found that the trim would be Sandstone Beige and the roof shingles would be Weathered Wood, manufactured by Timberline.

The garage doors would be farmhouse style, manufactured by Copay

in white and the front porch stairway would be bluestone. The lighting on the site would be down lit and safety lighting would be placed on the house, in accordance with Town Code.

 

4. The Board found that the plans should be revised to denote the area over the Box Bay on the front, left and right elevations with “vertical lines” as having a standing seam metal roof. The applicant proposed Classic Burgundy as the color, manufactured by Fabral.

 

5. The Board found that the applicant proposed to place two sets of shutters on the front elevation of the house. The plan should be

revised to note the shutters as “vinyl” material. The proposed color was

Musket Brown, manufactured by Mid-Atlantic.

 

6. The Board found that the applicant should reduce the number of colors introduced on the house. As a compromise, the Board requested that the standing seam roofs and shutters appear as the same color, either burgundy or musket brown.

 

7. The Board found that the air conditioning unit would be located by the

Southeast corner of the house, adjacent to the garage.

 

8. The Board found that the applicant stated that in order to achieve proper grading and placement of the sewer, a number of trees needed to be removed from the site. The area around the brook would be marked off and not disturbed.

 

9. The Board found that the applicant would plant 4 additional green giant arborvitae plantings, 6′ in height, filling in between the existing trees in a staggered fashion, on the north side of the lot and as noted on the marked up plan dated July 11, 2013, and signed by the applicant.
