<br />Example: See example PI for basic pattern, except this impact occurs whether or <br />not the new apartment's two-story wall has windows. Prior to the construction of <br />the new structure's two-story wall, the view from the existing house's dining <br />room would have been a partial view, i.e., above a hedge. Ilowever, this type of <br />partial view (which is common in the CR project area) is an important aspect of <br />the prevalent housing pattern in this compactly developed. neighborhood that <br />provides privacy while avoiding a "waIled-in" feeling. A two-story wall that is <br />close enough to significantly restrict such a view substantially degrades the visual <br />experience of the residents in the existing house. <br /> <br />Notes: The proximity, height, and slope of both the existing and new structures' <br />adjacent walls and roofs are factors that affect this impact. <br /> <br />V!.

In the CR project area, typical houses on <br />the numbered "avenues" face either north or south with yards in the rear of the <br />house. Typical houses on the "presidents" streets face east or west, also with <br />yards in the rear. There are typical solar exposure patterns associated with each of <br />these compass orientations and whether a house is on a comer or mid-block lot. <br /> <br />See VPS: 2 - Relationship to Neighbors. <br />Note, however, the VPS memo doesn't discuss this specific impact. <br />November 1,2005 <br /> <br />Chambers Revisited - Neighbors' Report <br /> <br />24 <br />
