December 19, 1991 DESIGN REVIEW FOR TENTATIVE TRACT 14407-1 - LEWIS HOMES - The design review of building elevations and detailed site plan for a previously approved tentative tract map consisting of 13 single family homes on 1.3 acres of land in the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre) of the Terra Vista Planned Community, located on the west side of Mountain View Drive, south of Base Line Road - APN: 227-151-15. DESIGN REVIEW FOR TENTATIVE TRACT 14365 LEWIS HOMES - The design review Of building elevations and detailed site plan for a previously approved tentative tract map consisting of 41 single family homes on 5.85 acres of land in the Medium Residential District (8-14 dwelling units per acre) of the Terra Vista Planned Community, located on the south side of Mountain View Drive west of Milliken Avenue - APN: 1077- 091-36. Design Parameters: The applicant is proposing a smaller product to substitute for the zero lot-line homes which were approved for Tracts 14407-1 and 14365 approximately one year ago. Tract 14407-1 consists of 13 single family lots which were originally approved with Tract 14407, a condominium project to the north. These 13 lots serve as a buffer between the existing Tract 13304, and the nn/lti-family housing in Tract 14407. Tract 14365 consists of 41 lots located on two cul-de-sacs and Countryview Drive. Single family housing exists to the north and west, and a multi-family project is approved for the land between Tract 14365 and Milliken Avenue. Staff Comments: The following comments are intended to provide an outline for Committee discussion. The applicant has proposed a smaller product type to replace designs which were approved one-year ago. The approved zero lot-line product consisted of 3 floor plans, each having three elevations. Center-plotted units were required to have additional articulation on what would be the zero lot-line side. The approved plans range from 1,978 to 2,518 square feet in size. The current proposal includes three different floor plans with two elevations each, and no special elevations are proposed for the center-plot units. The units will range from 1,450 to 1,815 square feet. DESIGN REVIEW C0~MENTS TT 14407-1 & TT 14365 - LEWIS HOMES DECEMBER 19, 1991 Page 2 Major Issues: The following broad design issues will be the focus of Committee discussion regarding this project: Each plan should have three different elevations, consistent with the previously approved elevations. Articulation should be provided on the side elevations for the 4 units which are center-plotted. The "A" and "B" elevations of Plan 173 are almost identical. Additional variation should be provided. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been resolved, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: Greater architectural detailing should be provided on the elevations. Suggestions include: a) the addition of moulding on the columns at the entry; b) the addition of potshelves to some windows; and c) additional windows on the left (non-zero) elevations. Design Review Comm{ttee ACtion: Members Present: Wendy Vallette, John Melcher, Dan Coleman Staff Planner: Steven Ross The Design Review Committee did not approve the proposed designs, but gave the following comments and stated that the project should return to the Committee as a full item: Each plan should have three different elevations, consistent with the previous approval. The center-plotted units should have additional articulation on the zero lot-line side. DUal glazing should be provided for all windows to mitigate noise from adjacent properties. DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS TT 14407-1 & TT 14365 - LEWIS HOMES DECEMBER 19, 1991 Page 3 All windows on the zero lot-line side should be fixed and utilize non-vision glass. There should be an overall increase in the level of articulation on the elevations. In addition, details should be provided to show how design elements will be constructed, such as the louvered shutters and the rafter to fascia transition. The arch above the entry on the side elevation of Plan 303 should be emphasized by changing the wall plane or adding a reveal line, similar to Plan 173 and 175. Accent colors should be muted. The light blue accent color should be eliminated. The grading should be revised to eliminate the need for an interior slope between lots 1 and 2 on Tract 14407 by spreading the grade evenly across the 13 lots. The Committee also reviewed and approved the proposed overhang for the entries of the townhome units within Tract 14407.
