pitched rooflines give the two structures a single- family home appearance from the <br />streetscape. The building facade utilizes modulating features including balconies, <br />porches, and building wall relief. The front units have porches, balconies and <br />horizontal and vertical modulation, as well as multiple complementary rooflines. <br />The interior courtyard and rear of each building feature horizontal modulation, <br />slight vertical modulation to accommodate for low sloped grading. Interesting <br />rooflines create natural breaks between the units and distinguish each unit from its <br />neighbor. The north side of the each building features balconies and change in <br />materials and colors to create interest. <br />Garage Design: Garages are located in the interior courtyard sharing the common <br />access easement. The garage door on each unit incorporates windows and panels to <br />reduce the apparent size of the door. <br />General Floor Plan: The Boulevard Townhomes will follow a common architectural <br />floor plan to similar 3 -story townhome units. The ground floor includes a 2 -car <br />garage, entryway, one bedroom and one bath. Staircases lead up to the second floor, <br />which features a spacious living space and half bath. On the top floor, a master <br />bedroom and bath, as well as two bedrooms and an additional bath. Every unit has <br />a ground floor patio and four of the units also feature a second floor balcony to <br />encourage use of outdoor space. <br />Landscape Design: <br />The landscape plan outlines the use of trees, shrubs, grass and other greenery to <br />soften the built environment, define open space, and provide privacy. The materials <br />used comply with the Landscape Design Manual and nursery industry standards. <br />There are no significant existing trees to be preserved. <br />Design for Screening and Separation: Cedar fencing and retaining walls will line <br />the north, east and west perimeter. In between each unit will be a combination of <br />opaque fencing and /or evergreen barriers to provide privacy for each unit's <br />individual recreational space. <br />Lighting: All exterior lighting will comply with the Landscape Design. Wall - <br />mounted sconces in the entryways and the back patio of each unit light the way for <br />pedestrian traffic. Recessed canned lighting above the garage doors light the way <br />for motor vehicle traffic. Any additional lighting will be included to optimize the <br />safety and visual appeal of the property. <br />23 <br />
