FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. The Board found that the project site was heavily wooded. The existing house would be demolished and a new structure would be constructed in its place.
2. The Board found that the proposed materials to be used on the house exterior fit into the natural surroundings. The proposed house would have sides of Hardi Board and Hardi Plank siding, or equal, in Aged Pewter and Pearl grey colors with large glass windows, as noted on the submitted plans. The garage doors would be metal to match the roof or wood to match the siding. In either case, the color of the garage doors would be in the same color palette to match the house. The chimney cap would be styled to match the house and in a greyish metal color.
3. The Board found that the roof would be a standing seam metal roof in charcoal grey color, manufactured by Atlas, or equal. The chimney and a portion of the façade would be in natural tone stone. The elevations should be revised to note the placement of stone on the house facade.
4. The Board found the landscaping plan to be acceptable.
5. The Board found that the outdoor lighting at the site and on the house would be down lit and in accordance with Town Code.
6. The Board found that the decking around the outdoor pool would be Azek or equal.
