Hey Marla
Please see the attached revised site plan, discussed below, that matches Mike’s landscaping plan.
I also attached the landscaping package from Mike Lawrence.
I cc’d Jess so she can add any comments regarding the sun study, if desired. One of the comments we heard from the
DRB was, is the additional story going to cast a shadow or block out the sun from the adjacent single-family home? The
submitted window elevations and sun study support our position at the hearing that the addition, outside of the
required setback, is not anticipated to overwhelm the abutting single-family home.
Thanks,

Thanks Bryan. Very interesting study. I guess my question would be what conclusions do you make regarding the
request for modification of the required buffer and setback to the residential zoning district? I will certainly present it all
to the Board but let me know if you’d like to make a written argument or if you’d like me to leave the Staff comment
pretty open and have the Board invite you to make your case.

Hey Marla
Sorry for the late email, it’s been a crazy day. As discussed, we have followed up on the DRB requests from our
December hearing, see attached plans.
We surveyed the second story windows of the adjacent house to the east of the project parcel. There are two windows
on the west side of the adjacent single-family home, the lower one seems likely to be a stairwell, as the higher window
matches the elevation of the windows in the front of the house. The bottom of the window matches with the existing
flat rooftop of 370 Shelburne Rd. The window measured is a small double hung window, while the front of the house
with southern exposure will obviously remain the same. These elevations are reflected on most of the attached revised
elevations. A sun study was also done showing the shadows of the proposed additional story will have no effect on the
neighboring property as the addition is about 54 feet from the neighboring structure.
Regarding the pedestrian connection on the south side of the 370 property along Proctor Ave. There are gas and power
services on this end of the building, so we want to keep a new sidewalk at least 18” off the edge of the building. If we
construct the sidewalk at 4 feet wide and propose it as private, it will encroach into the ROW by approximately a foot,
see attached SH 1 – Site Plan. We have discussed the idea with the City Director of Public Works who believe an
easement could be granted by the City to construct the walk within the ROW but keep it private. We would also be
amendable to constructing a 3-foot-wide sidewalk to keep the path clear of the ROW. Please keep in mind, the new
residents have access to the north side of the building through the stairwell network inside the building and a sidewalk is
already on the south side of Proctor Ave.
As discussed, we have removed the perennials from the south side of the City Pump Station within the ROW. These
have been relocated within the other planting beds. I attached SH L3 showing this change and updated plant list. Mike
is sending me his CAD file and landscaping package this evening, so I can update the site plan to match, and I will re-send
the landscaping plans and site plan tomorrow. If you think we are missing anything else regarding landscaping, please
let me know.
Let us know if you have any questions or think we should address any other outstanding issues. See you on the 18th!
Thanks,
