She showed the property location on the Tax Map Key map. She described the design on the elevation drawing and floor plan, and displayed the color samples showing Rocky Ridge for the exterior walls, Echo Valley for the trim, Hickory Grove for the doors and fascia, which are beige to brown shades. She described the roof material as asphalt shingles in black color called Moire Black. On the site plan, she noted that the building and parking are set back from the street, and that a community vegetable garden is shown behind the building. For comparison purposes, she also displayed the drawings of the previously approved duplex, showing much larger footprint, with the parking right up to the street. There being no questions of staff from the Commissioners, Chairman Roth called upon the applicant. Mrs. Ounyoung stated that they had nothing additional to present. There were no questions from the Commissioners. Chairman Roth opened the floor for comments and said that he is very much in support of this application. He said that these vacant lots within walking distance of so many things should be developed with housing projects, and that this proposal seems to be a lower cost type of housing, which benefits the Village. He also commented that the parking situation looks better than the previous plan. There were no comments from other Commissioners. 4 Kailua Village Design Commission October 25,2022,Meeting Minutes
