PlanningBoard | 2006-09-11 | 6 | staff would prefer to explore the ideas regarding shading and parking. He would rather have the option to explore the ideas and then bring it back to the Board. President Lynch noted that he was inclined to support this project, and was very reluctant to place a condition about parking in addition to something that was outside the purview of the Code. He did not want to step onto a slippery slope about numbers of cars allowed. Member Kohlstrand expressed concern about the Board advocating for additional off-street parking, and also had issues about scale with respect to the garage and paving in front of the house, which may dominate the house. She did not want the street view of the house to be adversely affected, and would not recommend additional parking on the site. Member McNamara noted that the nearby Lincoln School parking lot was heavily utilized, and did not know how the Board could control parking for school events as it related to this matter. Member Cunningham believed that a benefit of cutting the roof back would increase privacy, by eliminating the windows on the side property face, looking into Mr. McCarver's property. He suggested using a skylight instead for natural daylight, which would reduce the cost of construction. Mr. Thomas suggested that the item be continued in order to incorporate these design ideas. M/S Cunningham/ Ezzy Ashcraft to continue this item to the meeting of September 25, 2006.
