The board unanimously agreed that it much prefers locating the driveway to the north. We have two major issues with the south side option: 1. That option includes a front‐facing garage, which our neighborhood's design standards strongly discourage. Front facing garages are not a feature of Clarksville's traditional architecture. Even newer homes in the neighborhood are more apt to have a carport rather than a garage and many have neither. 2. The portion of the addition to the house that is visible from the street in the south side option has the effect of over‐ shadowing the original house somewhat. In contrast, with the northside option, the original house stands out. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks for your consideration.
