building;
2
o Building has 6 portions separated by expansion joints; Opportunities to
change height, color or something, to moderate each section, as the
rest of the center has done;
o The back of the building is the frontage along Webb Road; Moderate
these elevations the same way the other elevations are;
o Front elevations look fine;
o Architect should visit site to better understand building’s orientation to
site;
o Possible to ‘friendly up’ roll up doors? Glass?
o Building should look like part of village;
o Provide details of dumpster, used tire disposal area;
o Screen all rooftop units.
7) Courtesy review: 13620 Hopewell Road, Steve Laboda
V10-005—To allow an accessory structure (a barn) to be located in the front yard
o Aesthetically nice, needs ‘cherry on top’;
o Possible add weather vane or some sort of finial with something that
relates to the family;
o Colors and materials should remain natural.
8) Courtesy review: 205 Thompson Springs Drive, Joe Maglio
V10-006—To allow an accessory structure (a covered patio) to be located in the
rear setback
o Seems to be a planning issue vs a DRB issue;
o Workmanship seems to be good;
o Possible plant an evergreen hedge for screening;
o Bring letter of support from neighbor to BZA meeting.
9) Courtesy review: New Fawn Drive, Deerfield Green, Corbitt Woods
V10-007—To allow the rear of townhome units to exceed 25% cement siding
o Reducing brick not aesthetically pleasing;
o Units can be seen from back of Morris Lake Townhomes;
o Economic hardship not good reason for hardship; Don’t want this as
precedent;
o Brick is the better option, but this is not an unreasonable request;
o Concerned with issues from existing homeowners; don’t want to bring
home values down;
o If possible, get homeowners to sign petition in support of variance request;
o Prefer less brick to nothing at all.
10) Other business
Suggestion—Need to refine the Design Review Board’s role in courtesy
reviews.
11) Adjournment
