We met with Kris Sorensen on March 12, 2014 for a pre-application meeting to go over the initial design. He made it clear that there should not be a problem with granting a modification for a roof top deck. Please see subsequent pages for site plan, building elevations, project examples, and existing typologies in the neighborhood. The building permit been submitted under #B14001900. 1. "One of the following is required for all development: Hip or gabled with at least a six to twelve (6:12) pitch for the prominent form of the roof (dormers, etc., may have lesser pitch}, or Shed roof We are asking for a modification to provide a roof top deck. Roof top decks are becoming common place in the Seattle and Renton, especially in the areas with views of Lake Washington. This becomes an outdoor amenity space. A portion of the building roof is set aside and pre-wired for a solar panel array. By providing a flat roof, this will enable the maximum flexibility for solar collection in the future. 2. Eaves projecting from the roof of the entire building at least twelve inches {12 ") with horizontal fascia or fascia gutter at least five inches (5") deep on the face of all eaves, and Rakes on gable ends must extend a minimum of two inches (2 ") from the surface of exterior siding materials. We are asking for a modification to provide a rooftop deck, which would be enclosed by a 3-foot high parapets and does not use eaves or rakes. The parapet heights vary from the occupiable roof section to the non-occupiable roof section. This breaks down the scale of the building providing an architectural vocabulary of different massing strategies, while also creating visual interest from the street. The detached garage continues the vocabulary established by the primary residence. 3. In accordance with Renton's Municipal Code, Section 4-2-115, there must be a three ond one half inch /3 1/2") minimum trim surrounding all windows and detailing all doors. In accordance with Renton's Municipal Code, Section 4-2-115, If one siding material is used on any side of the dwelling that is two stories or greater in height, a horizontal band that measures at least eightinches (8") is required between the first and second story. • • The building fa~ade has been designed with vertical characteristics. There is a variety of materials and colors that delineate two volumes with a cedar gasket element connecting the two. The hardi accent panels, massing strategies, and the glazing composition all create a sense of visual clarity. Including 3 }','' trim around all windows and doors, and 8" horizontal banding between floors, disrupts this composition. The fa~ade is I addressing the pedestrian scale by the creation of a welcoming front porch and smaller details ~uch as the wrapping wood-framed porch wall. I I 4. Windows and doars shall constitute twenty-five percent {25%) of all facades facing street frontage ar public I spaces.
