CityCouncil | 2009-03-03 | 14 | Councilmember Tam stated Councilmember Matarrese's motion is formulated around a seven foot set back that is legal but is based on an appeal of a Major Design Review that is incorporated as part of the 30% alteration that was before the HAB; inquired whether a porch would be feasible without a seven foot encroachment. Counci lmember Matarrese stated that he is thinking of a side porch. Mayor Johnson inquired why the porch needs to extend beyond the front of the house. Mr. Combs responded the intent is to provide cover for the entry steps. Mayor Johnson stated side porches were deliberate. Mr. Mackensen stated the design is actually a trellis over a patio; the French doors would provide light and ventilation and need to go out somewhere; the pillars would disappear into the shrubbery and would not impose on the lawn. Councilmember Tam stated that she cannot support the motion; the Planning Board approved the seven foot legal requirement; the Encinal Avenue situation is not the same; the Bay Street homes are not exactly the same and create a nicely landscaped corridor which can still be preserved with the proposed energy efficient improvements. Mayor Johnson seconded the motion, which FAILED by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmember Matarrese and Mayor Johnson - 2. Noes: ouncilmember Tam - 1. Abstentions: Vice Mayor deHaan and Councilmember Gilmore - 2. The City Attorney stated three votes are required in order to take action; two Councilmembers announced conflict on the matter the lower [HAB] decision will stand.
