Applicant Pamela Hardy <br /> Project Address*6900 Valley Trails Dr. <br /> Record Number. PUD•113 <br /> September 8, 2015 <br /> development standards (i.e., types of structures allowed, setbacks, height limits) <br /> should be incorporated into the project/plans, as additions and some accessory <br /> structures are counted towards FAR. <br /> 12.Floor Plans— <br /> a. Please incorporate universal design principles into the project and provide <br /> adaptable units. <br /> b. Please ensure the garages will have minimum unobstructed interior <br /> dimensions of 20' wide by 20' deep. The garage main doors should swing <br /> into the home or yard spaces and not into the garage(e.g., on sheet A2.1, the <br /> main door should swing into the side yard, not the garage). <br /> 13.Architecture— <br /> a. Four architectural styles with six elevation variations are proposed for the <br /> project. The proposed front elevations show material variation and design <br /> detailing; the side and rear elevations should incorporate similar detailing. <br /> Staff recommends that the degree of material variation and design detailing <br /> on the front elevations be applied to the rear and side building elevations to <br /> achieve a four-sided building design. Furthermore, please incorporate usable <br /> porches and/or front courtyard gathering spaces into the architecture to <br /> enhance the design quality of the proposed project, particularly along Valley <br /> Trails Drive and adjacent to Valley Trails Park. Porches provide transitions to <br /> the street and opportunities for social encounters, which are of critical <br /> importance in age-restricted residential projects. <br /> b. The garages visually dominate the front elevations. Staff recommends that <br /> you look at ways to reduce/minimize the visual prominence of the garages <br /> (e.g., set the garages further back from the front of the house, utilize side- <br /> entry or stand-alone backyard garages,where feasible, etc.). <br /> c. Corner lot homes should have enhanced architecture on the street side-facing <br /> elevations. <br /> 14.Parking — Residential neighborhoods should have at least one standard size <br /> street parking space per home for guest parking. It is not clear whether the <br /> proposed on-street spaces are standard (see comment No. 21 on page 8). <br /> Therefore, staff cannot conform if the proposed development provides such guest <br /> parking spaces. <br /> Page 6 <br />
