Snyd er Additio n, Bloc k 33, S 1/2 (C OA-2018-058). Mad is o n Thomas, Downto wn His toric P lanner ITEM SUMMARY: The ap p licant is p ro p o s ing two multi-family s truc tures with four dwelling units in each loc ated at 1310 Map le Street. The firs t s et of s tructures, adjac ent to 14th Street, are p ro p os ed to b e three s tories with a ground level garage, and two upper living floors . The s ec o nd s et o f struc tures , c lo s es t to the property line are proposed as two s to ries . T he p ro p erty will als o have a drive aisle at the end o f the p ro p erty, c lo s es t to the railroad trac ks with the p arking lo t in the rear c o rner. T his p ro p erty c urrently has a single-family res id ential struc ture id entified on the Histo ric R es o urc es S urvey as a med ium priority. T he ap p licant is p ro p o s ing to retain the existing his toric struc ture, and develo p the rear-half of the lot with multi-family s tructures, as the c urrent zoning permits . Bas ed o n the c urrent High-Density multi-family zoning, the existing single-family s tructure is legal no n-c onfo rming and c an remain b ut ad d itional single-family s tructures canno t b e built o n the lot. Staff find s that the proposed infill generally c o mp ly with the Do wntown and Old Town Design Guidelines . Staff and the applic ant are s eeking feed b ack fro m the Commission on several guid elines related to: 14.4 Build ing heights of larger p ro jects sho uld provid e variety. 14.10 Non-trad itional s iding materials are dis c ouraged.

This property is one of three sites zoned as MF-2 in the Old Town District. Included here are pages to describe the rationale for design of the proposed project: Page 1, Site Map: The proposed site is clustered with two large-scale, multi-family properties, Alpine Apartments and Mid-Century Park. The design mainly faces 14th Street, which is a dead end on that block due to the railroad tracks. There is an existing structure on the property that shares the site. Page 2, Existing Neighbors: Views of the properties nearby that are (scale, not visual) precedents for this proposal. Page 3, Site Plan: The proposed project faces 14th Street, which is a dead end street on that block. (4)-“Front Units” face 14th Street, while (4)-“Back Units” are tucked behind the Front Units. At Maple Street, the Owner proposes to add a Playground and Park Area for the residents. Page 4, Setback Requirements: While MF-2 Zoning is supposed to allow for substantially increased density (no FAR requirements) and height (45’ max allowable), due to this property falling in the Old Town Overlay, the setbacks as indicated here are required. Page 5, Section for proposed design: Observing the setback requirements, our proposed design will fall within these guidelines.

N/A  Where no sidewalk exists, one should be installed that aligns with nearby sidewalks. Complies Proposed structures exhibit a similar front setback distance as the existing home on the lot and other nearby residential homes. Sidewalks will be required at the site plan stage of the project and are shown on the exhibit. 14.2 In the front yard, acknowledge the residential character of the area with residential type landscape treatments.  Landscaping elements should be compatible with the character of the area in size, scale, and type. Free-form, suburban type landscaping is inappropriate in this setting.  Consider using landscaped beds, trees, low level lighting, sidewalks, etc. to reflect a more residential appearance of the property.  Limit front yard pavement to driveways rather than parking lots, or if parking lots are deemed necessary make them heavily screened by low level shrubs, vines, and decorative walls. Consider pavers or other less impactful materials. Complies The undeveloped area parallel to the existing house is being left as is, and will remain natural area with a proposed park. The area facing 14th Street will contain a traditional landscaped front yard, with the back structures having a landscaped backyard area. Driveway location and drive aisle have been located at the rear of the lot, away from the adjacent streets. Additional landscaping will be required during the site plan phase. 14.4 Building heights of larger projects should provide variety.  A larger development should step down in height towards the street or smaller surrounding structures.  A larger house should step down in height towards all setbacks, especially near smaller surrounding houses. Partially Complies There are different heights provided within the two proposed structures. The rear structure steps down towards the northern property line that abuts a multi-family structure. The three story building along 14th does not step down Page 23 of 27 CHAPTER 14 DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR INFILL CONSTRUCTION AND ADDITIONS IN THE OLD TOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT towards the street, but do meet required setbacks. The structures are placed at a significant distance from the adjacent property with the railroad tracks, and the property line that faces Maple St.. 14.5 Large project sites should be developed with several buildings, rather than a single structure.  This will help reduce the perceived size of the project.  Large residential projects might utilize a detached garage to reduce the size of a main structure. Partially Complies The applicant is proposing two new separate structures. 14.6 Where a large building is needed, divide the building into modules that reflect the traditional size of buildings.  A typical building module should not exceed 20 feet in width. The building module should be expressed with at least one of the following: - A setback in wall planes of a minimum of 3 feet - A change in primary facade material for the extent of the building module - A vertical architectural element or trim piece  Variations in facade treatment should be continued through the structure, including its roofline and front and rear facades.  If a larger building is divided into “modules,” they should be expressed three-dimensionally throughout the entire building. Variation in height should occur where the site is larger than two traditional lot widths, in order to reduce overall scale of the building. Complies The design has utilized material changes and architectural detailing to create a modular effect on the building. The repetition of these architectural elements and the vertical trim piece creates a visual separation every 23’. There are also two structures being proposed that are different heights. The proposed structures are shorter in length then the two adjacent multi-family structures. 14.10 Non-traditional siding materials are discouraged.  Typically, artificial stone and brick veneer are not appropriate.  Asphalt shingles are not appropriate.  Aluminum and vinyl are not appropriate. Partially Complies The applicant is proposing white, board and batten siding for the first two stories, and a concrete first floor base. The board and batten is a traditional siding material, concrete is a more modern material, however it offers a more modern interpretation and Page 24 of 27 CHAPTER 14 DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR INFILL CONSTRUCTION AND ADDITIONS IN THE OLD TOWN OVERLAY DISTRICT is located lower to the ground.
