• More awnings • Rafter tails • Sconce • Recessed windows • Two darker color palettes replacing the exterior white color • Off-white finish on Buildings A and B and a taupe finish on Buildings C and D • Redesigned end unit in Building A that is visible from West Las Positas Boulevard to provide much greater detail • Added pilasters and wrought iron • Raised height of the brick exterior treatment and increased brick banning at key locations 7. Continue to work with the neighboring commercial property on the west side of the project regarding the proposed carports, landscaping, and other visual screening. Outreach work with the westerly commercial neighbor, Mr. Doug Giffin, has continued, and in response to his concerns, decorated fencing and greater landscaping have been provided, including a full evergreen screen hedge along the property line to augment the exterior pear trees at that location. In addition, large evergreen southern live oak trees will be planted to provide additional screening. A slide shows the existing view of the commercial property and visual simulations of the projected view at a five-year growth. Mr. Giffin's preference is to eliminate the carports in this area; however, this design provides significant benefit to the project and the people who will live within that comm.unity, without adversely impacting the adjacent property. A cantilevered design for the carports has been developed so they will not have any side or rear walls, and in many respects, the carports are designed more like shade trees than structures. One note to consider in evaluating if carports in this area should be allowed is to recognize that when the original setback condition was placed, the mitigation of landscaping and carport design was not available to make that determination. 8. Continue our outreach with the community. Outreach efforts with the Parkside neighborhood has continued, both with individual residents and in neighborhood meetings, to better understand the neighbors' needs and concerns: • Neighborhood meeting at the project site on September 4, 2013, before the first Planning Commission Work Session. • September 11, 2013 Planning Commission Work Session at which comments from the Commission and the neighbors were received. • During September and October Summerhill called, emailed, and/or met individually with all neighbors who presented comments at the Planning Commission Work Session. Not all residents were willing to meet individually, EXCERPT: PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, January 22, 2014 Page 3 of 16
