Site Design The proposed addition maintains the site design of the original residence, with the front door facing east toward the loop driveway shared with 3380 Mohr Avenue. The home will remain well set back from Mohr Avenue, with the addition to the south. The mass and scale of the residence when viewed from Mohr Avenue will not substantially change. The proposed siting allows for a large rear setback and generous side setbacks, which are all consistent with the Busch lot standards (as seen in Table 1). The site design will limit grading and tree removal. Building Design The proposed addition maintains the architectural style of the existing residence, by utilizing the same roof pitches and adding vertical board and batten siding details beneath the gables. The second story addition will modestly increase the overall maximum height of the residence from 24’-8” to 25’-7”, maintaining the scale of the home. The board and batten siding will enhance the original “farmhouse” aesthetic of the existing residence. The stucco on the addition will match the existing white stucco. The scale and massing of the addition is compatible with the existing residence. The project plans can be reviewed in Exhibit B.
