[8] PCP 05-03-2006 - Includes plans and discussion of PC06-013 <br />[p1] - historical comments <br />[p2] - City/County/JDA recommendations for resiliency - The JDA, Cityt, and County have, <br />for years, assessed and indicated it desires passive solar building design. The policy white <br />paper from 11-03-14 andd again in 2015 and elsewhere recommends that the city could <br />consider including prioritization of energy efficiency, climage change adaptation, or energy <br />resilience as party of it's comprehensive plan. (TOD: look into JDA response to 11-03-14 <br />JDA memo) They include ene for design sthat include proper orientation, large south-facing <br />glazing, massing, building transparecy to maximize solar heat gain, etc, etc... even going so <br />far as to show that passive solar can cover 60-80% of their needs with passive solar. (we cover <br />more) <br />Inline image 1 <br />[p3] - There is a small aux heating system, roughly the power of a space heater, spec'd to kick <br />in as needed when the temps drop below -4 and the sun is not out for a few days. It did not get <br />turned on at all in the 2016-2017 winter. <br />[p4] We sited our house on our property, combined with wall and window location, so as to <br />minimize views (both in and out) of other existing houses and to maintain our privacy. <br />[p5] A good example is that our master bedroom contains a window that is 8 feet wide and <br />goes down to my knees. This window looks out upon our backyard and the wooded area in <br />the back of 3685. For someone on the ground, it's quite private. If a houses are located at the <br />proposed locations, it makes blinds almost a requirement for any semblance of privacy in our <br />previously perfectly-private bedroom. <br />[p6] Due to the inward-tilt-and-turn design of our windows, blinds cannot go on the inside of <br />many of our windows. <br />[p7] We just got a quote for installing a furnace and the install costs alone would be $10,895 <br />(quote provided from Total Air and Furnace upon request) The exterior blinds, themselves, <br />would cost more than $15,000 installed (quote provided from builder upon request). <br />[p8] 81-24 <br />[p9] 07-25-16-SWS, JDA policy white paper from 11-03-14 andd again in 2015. In 2016, (07- <br />25-16-SWS) indicates that access to direct solar is important in the 2040 comprehensive plan <br />as well as being included in the checklist of minimum requirements for arden hills and a <br />requirement to protect solar access within the 7-county metro area.
