Cherveny, AIA of GRCH Architecture, PC and Henry Alia,Project Manager from Rimor Develpment presented the proposed site plan. This proposed Residential Site Plan is for the development of 124 detached and attached dwellings classified in three types:48 "Type A" units (1,999+/-sq.ft.livable area), 72"Type B" units (1,599+/-sq.ft. livable area),and 4"Type C" units (1,999+/-sq.ft. livable area). In addition,there are proposed the following: a 6,188sq.ft. community center with a +/-1,125sq.ft. outdoor swimming pool, one tennis court,284 parking spaces of which 256 are associated with the individual dwelling units and 28 are associated with the community center, and various other associated site improvements,on a vacant 46.17 acre parcel in the Hamlet Density (HD) Zoning District located on the northwest corner of Griffing Street and Schoolhouse Road, approximately 1,079 feet north of the Main Road in Cutchogue. The Conunittee reviewed the proposed project and is tabling the application as incomplete at this time. The Conu-nittee has the following comments: LiggAtig Resilience: The ARC notes that the comments regarding housing resilience in the 1/21/17 minutes are still of concern and have not been adequately addressed. E �"i J atehouse: The ARC suggests that an unattended gatehouse serves only to convey a message of exclusivity and separateness.This is antithetical to a sense of community appropriate for this central village location. ARC recommends replacing it with small gazebos that include seating,located to either side of the main entrance. Sidewalk aroundGryen s pL ce/ -tI! qyq�Basm The ARC recommends moving concrete sidewalks that border the 2 greenspace/drainage areas to the residence side of the street,where they would be integrated with driveways similar to other areas on the site plan, so active pedestrian traffic will not have to cross the street. This location will reduce the total amount of impermeable pavement since sidewalks will overlap driveways. The present sidewalk location should be replaced with mulch paths,which are better for passive uses such as dog walking and jogging. BikeRac*s& 11111 _D i tLocation: — - )s......e....r....... Planning Board Conditions of Approval items 12.h&i, page 20. The ARC does not see these items addressed on the site plan. Breezeway Connection between A Units, The drawings are unclear and conflicting in regard to the size of the breezeways and the ARC requests clarification and updated drawings from the Architect. The ARC questions how any vegetation would grow under this deeply shaded area, as well as the lack of intended use and function of the space. -------- ............... - 2 - The ARC recommends several alternatives: — close the gap between the A/A-1 residences and thereby enlarging the side yards. (similar to duplex floor plans for Model C,dwg. A-6) — create access door to the space directly from each unit, and/or enclose them to make useable space. — close off the front with a low wall and add plantings to obstruct the view. It is recommended that the area between the garages have access from the rear only,and have side doors from each unit. Scale and Diversity oH f qqsirkgTypgs: The ARC emphasizes the excessive roof massing and the lack of housing diversity. These are major concerns. Roof mass/height is particularly excessive on the main roof connecting B&B-1 units. These large roofs enclose vast uninhabitable attic space. Essentially,there are only 2 house configurations for 124 units and even these are segregated to separate roads. The ARC is concerned that this project is a massive snake rapping around the landscape. Planning Board Conditions of Approval-24.c, (page 12)has not been addressed. Designs are not informed by local/vernacular architectural history/regional design standards. Design appears to be a 'formula' suitable for any community nation-wide.The ARC encourages review of our guidelines and suggests more appropriate designs based upon the resource list ARC makes available. �-Jtinmeys and Cate: Gas fireplace chimneys are shown on"B" model elevations,but not on"A" model elevations. This needs clarification. Chimneys are better located along a roof ridge,rather than at an eave. The eave chimneys on Model B/B-1 elevations, dwg B-1,are too large in scale and yet shorter than they would be at a roof ridge, and therefore more prone to downdrafts as well. ARC recommends that gas fireplaces at eaves can have a side vent instead of a chimney. Chimney caps are oversized and not compatible with house design.
