Roofline We will vary the roofline along the building length to reflect individual units. This can be achieved using: - separate roof forms - a combination of roof types, such as shed, gabled and hipped roofs) - gables and dormers The Townhouses roof pitched and continuous sloping roof forms will be used. Note: See Building Elevation Drawings provided separately BUILDING MASSING We will mass the building in only two buildings one on each side of the site. We will use building and roof modulation and articulation to reduce the appearance of large building masses. a. Modulate the building facade with features such as porches, balconies, building wall relief, and bay windows. b. Provide roof elements such as gables, eyebrow roof forms or dormers. c. Incorporate prominent cornice, soffit, or fascia details that emphasize the top of the building. d. Provide prominent roof overhangs. Note: See site plan provided separately MATERIAL AND COLORS We will construct building exteriors of durable and maintainable materials that are attractive even when viewed up close. We will use building materials that have texture, pattern, or lend them to a high quality of detailing. We will use materials that meet the intent of horizontal lap siding, shingles, brick, stone, stucco, ceramic or terra cotta tile. We will use a variety of complementary colors on building exteriors. Reserve brightly saturated colors for accent or trim features. Note: See Color Board Provided Separately LANDSCAPE /SITE TREATMENT LANDSCAPE DESIGN We will provide plants that can be used to curtail erosion, to soften the built environment, define or emphasize open space, give privacy, block wind and lessen the effects of solar radiation. We will select and site landscape materials to produce a hardy and drought- resistant landscape area consistent with project design. Selection should include consideration of soil type and depth, spacing, exposure to sun and wind, slope and contours of the site, building walls and overhangs, and compatibility of new plant material with existing vegetation to be preserved on the site. We will install all plant materials to current nursery industry standards. Landscape plant material should be properly guyed and staked to current industry standards. Planting of trees in compacted soils is prohibited unless minimum 12 inch gravel drain sumps are installed under each tree to a minimum of 36 inch depth, or the sub grade soil beyond the planting pit is rootled to a 9 inch depth to the drip line or edge of planter, whichever is less. 20
