Materials and Colors <br />Proposed materials include a variety of Hardi -panel siding patterns, including horizontal siding, <br />horizontal bevel siding, and batten board siding. Each unit has a different arrangement of the <br />siding patterns, with the exception of adjacent units 2 and 3, which have the same arrangement of <br />batten board siding on the first floor and horizontal siding on the second and third stories. Window <br />placement, modulation, and the paint colors used within the modulation areas differ between these <br />two units. The project uses variegated "El Dorado" or equal colored cultured stone on the facades <br />facing Southcenter Blvd., as well as at the base of the units within the shared courtyard area. <br />For all units, the color palette is <br />proposed to be the same. The <br />color palette is intended to be a <br />mix of gray -blue and brown hues <br />to look similar to the house <br />pictured at right. Some <br />differences from the picture are <br />that the darker color (see "Black <br />Russian" ColorLife paint sample <br />on Attachment C) will only be <br />used on the first story of the <br />duplex and the triplex, and it will <br />not be used on the garage doors. The second and third stories will be painted with the lighter gray - <br />blue "Marathon" color. Some of the building modulation areas at the second and third stories are <br />also painted the "Marathon" color, but most of the modulation areas are the light brown "Aurora" <br />color. Trim around the windows, doors, and the belly band, eaves, and brackets will be painted the <br />darker brown "Shinto" color. Staff recommends the applicant add more color to the development <br />and individuality to the units by painting the front doors of the units with an accent color. <br />7 <br />1111111111111111111111111 11: . 1.11.1 I 11114444.1.4:1111 jor• 4444 <br />, <br />tUl <br />'464i,;11 ICNIX)11111.1.6111:irjer..!:!i[Iii11101111iIii,g <br />IP <br />x m <br />Ii��h1111rrr <br />�g �fiuRu quirt ar,'/�ynnpp <br />1 "1 <br />0111 <br />t, <br />Garage Design <br />Garages are proposed to be metal, and will include windows as shown in the Colored Elevations <br />(Attachment C). The garage doors are proposed to be painted with the brown hues of the project's <br />color palette. The pattern of windows used for the garages, and the distribution of the brown paint <br />colors on the garage doors will vary from unit to unit. <br />III. LANDSCAPE /SITE TREATMENT <br />Landscape Design and Design for Screening and Separation <br />In the landscape design for the Boulevard Townhomes, the plantings are arranged to focus <br />attention to entrances to the project site and to the individual units, to soften the built environment, <br />to reduce the appearance of paved area by adding greenery, and to provide for screening and <br />separation. <br />A deciduous tree is proposed on either side of the driveway to act as a gateway feature at the <br />project site entry. Trees, shrubs, and groundcover are clustered near the front of the end units <br />facing Southcenter Blvd, helping to focus design attention to the face to the project and leaving <br />lawn area at the front of the front yard to allow flexible use of this area by the townhome residents. <br />JR Page l0 of 15 04/16/2014 <br />W: \Users \Jaimie\BOULEVARD TOWNHOMBS \SR L13 -0063 PL14 -001 BoulevardTownhomes 4- 13- 14.doc <br />14 <br />
