Mr. Tankersley responded. ARCOM Meeting Minutes 5-29-2024 9 of 17

Mr. Falco stated the CCCL requirements for the height and grade of the home. Mr. Floersheimer asked about the size of the proposed fenestration; he thought the smaller windows felt out of scale and incongruent. He liked the direction of the home.

Ms. Visconti asked that a significant Green Buttonwood tree be used for the replacement of the Seagrape tree, to which Mr. Meyer agreed. Ms. Visconti asked about the low walls with the higher gates proposed. Mr. Meyer stated that they were using Green Island Ficus to mitigate the views of the gates. Ms. Visconti asked if the Green Island Ficus could be raised adjacent to the gate, to which Mr. Meyer agreed. Mr. Floersheimer thought that gates were not common in the area and did not believe that many people trespassed on the owner's property. Maura Ziska stated that her client next door received the same variance for a gate and explained the issues that were occurring with people trespassing on the property in the north end. Mr. Floersheimer thought the gate looked very institutional; he recommended a more transparent gate with pickets. Ms. Catlin thought the gate complemented the home.

Ms. Pardue provided staff comments on the project. Several members disclosed ex-parte communications. Chris Simon of Nievera Williams Design made the landscape and hardscape presentation. Ms. Connaughton expressed concern about the front-loading garage. She thought the proposed front hardscape was incongruent with the home. Mr. Simon responded. Ms. Catlin discussed the overall reduction oflandscape open spac e. She was not a fan of making the switch to a front-loaded garage but thought the proposal looked nice. She wondered if the professional could shrink the paved walkway to gain open space in front of the property. Mr. Simon stated he would look at that option. ARCOM Meeting Minutes 5-29-2024 13 of 17

Mr. Floersheimer understood the motivation to switch the garage's orientation. He did not believe the front-loaded garage should be an issue for the project. He thought the professional could gain landscaped open space. He wondered if the shade tree in the front yard could be moved closer to the street to provide shade. Mr. Karakul suggested moving the landscape to mitigate the garage doors and to allow more landscape on the street. Mr. Simon stated that he worked on an alternate plan, as Mr. Karakul suggested. Mr. Simon placed the plan on the overhead projector. Ms. Visconti asked about the material proposed for the hardscape. Mr. Simon discussed the materials. Ms. Visconti agreed with Ms. Catlin that the paved walkway could be reduced to gain more open space. She also asked about the planting in the front yard and provided suggestions for opening the design . Mr. Simon responded and discussed the reason for the design. Ms. Visconti suggested planting material into the right of way. Mr. Karakul suggested reorienting the driveway so that the driveway backed out to the left of the home rather than to the right. Mr. Sammons suggested putting more green material in the driveway, removing the proposed stairs, narrowing the curb cut, and adding a shade tree to the front of the property. Ms. Shiverick suggested adding Jasmine or green material around the garage doors. Mr. Simon agreed to the suggestion.

Ms. Visconti asked about the color of the quoins on the building. Mr. Freijomel responded. Mr. Floersheimer questioned the signage on the ATM since the screen showed the bank's name. He thought the signage was redundant. He stated there was an interior, lighted sign that also showed the bank's name. Ms. Ziska stated that all the banks in Town have signage on the ATM machines. Ms. Catlin thought the signage and locations were acceptable. She asked if the small signage could be changed to bronze rather than black. Ms. Ziska stated that the black signage is a part of the Citizens' brand. Ms. Shiverick was not in favor of the white color proposed for the bank. She thought the building's color should reflect the Town and not look so corporate. She wondered if the Citizens' logo would fit where the Corcoran logo existed. Ms. Ziska stated that the Corcoran logo would remain; she added that their signage dimensions needed to be included in their request, which is partly the reason for the variance request. Ms. Connaughton agreed with Ms. Shiverick's comments about the current yellow color; she thought it was more appropriate than the proposed white and gray colors. Mr. Phoenix asked about the proposed color change. Ms. Ziska stated that the buildirig's owner requested it. James Meany with Citizens Bank discussed his collaboration with the building owner and their discussion of changing the paint color. A motion was made by Ms. Shiverick and seconded by Mr. Sammons to approve the project as presented, with the condition that the building's color remain yellow. The motion was carried 6-1, with Mr. Smith dissenting. A motion was made by Mr. Sammons and seconded by Ms. Shiverick that the implementation of the proposed variances will not cause a negative architectural impact to the subject property. The motion was carried unanimously, 7-0. 5. ARC-24-070 11 VIA VIZCAYA The applicant, Jonathan Clay, has filed an application requesting Architectural Commission review and approval for front yard improvements, including modified and repaved driveway and modifications to entry water feature, entry garden, andhardscape. Ms. Mittner provided staff comments on both projects, 11 and 12 Via Vizcaya. Several members disclosed ex-parte communications. Dustin Mizell of Environment Design Group made the landscape and hardscape presentation. Mr. Mizell stated that the plants proposed for the site were 100% native. He continued to present the landscape and hardscape plan for 12 Via Vizcaya, which was also 100% native. He showed the plans for a lower fence and gate. He stated that the gate and fence material was being changed from chain link to aluminum picket. Mr. Floersheimer asked about a previous approval for a fence and planting materials and questioned the proposed planting material's ability to hide a fence. Mr. Mizell responded and stated that the owner was trying to avoid planting a hedge. Mr. ARCOM Meeting Minutes 5-29-2024 15 of 17

Floersheimer asked about the curb cut on 12 Via Vizcaya and wondered why a vehicular gate was proposed rather than a pedestrian gate. Mr. Mizell responded and discussed the main concerns of the owner, which were privacy and trespassing. Mr. Sammons asked about the width of the proposed curb cut on the north property and the width of the gate on the south property. Mr. Mizell responded with the dimensions. Mr. Karakul wondered about shifting the entrance of the gate to one side or the other for 12 Via Vizcaya. He thought that would be a more natural look. Mr . Mizell agreed to the suggestion. Ms. Visconti wondered why the gate was necessary; she suggested removal panels for the fence rather than a gate. She thought plantings could sandwich the fencing and suggested providing a thicker buffer for the fence. Mr. Smith suggested a pair of swinging gates rather than one vehicular gate. Mr. Mizell agreed to the suggestion. Ms. Catlin supported the alternate materials instead of hedging materials. She thought the plantings should be lush to screen the fencing, and the gate should be reduced to 12 feet or two six-foot swinging panels. Mr. Sammons asked to minimize the flare on the driveway at 11 Via Vizcaya. A motion was made by Mr. Sammons and seconded by Mr. Karakul to approve the project as presented, with the condition of reducing the amount of driveway paving. The motion was carried unanimously, 7-0. 6. ARC-24-071 12 VIA VIZCAYA The applicant, County Down Trust (Jonathan Clay) , has filed an application requesting Architectural Commission review and approval for new vehicle entry gate , columns and fence on a vacant parcel of land. The details of this project were discussed under ARC-24-070, 11 Via Vizcaya. Mr. Sammons made a motion, seconded by Mr. Karakul, to approve the project as presented, with the condition that a 12-foot swinging service gate be pushed to the south side of the lot and that the fence be screened with landscaping as much as possible. The motion was carried unanimously, 7-0. 7. ARC-24-077 (ZON-24-048) 450 S COUNTY RD (204 WORTH A VE) (COMBO) The applicant, Rosetta Bakery and FERRAGAMO USA INC. has filed an application requesting Architectural Commission review and approval for a minor change to the exterior fa9ade of an existing one-story commercial building to relocate the front door and entry wall.
