Chairperson Roberts voiced concern that the number of models offered is not enough, noting that there are only six house models for 200 lots. Mr. Pierson addressed this concern, noting that Plan four is used in both the 4,000- end 5,000-square-foot lots to break up the street theme by having garages set back on some of the lots. There was no support for modifications to address the issu~ of duplication. It was noted that homes over 30 feet in height were not normally allowed. Commissioner Roberts commented that to limit all of the homes to 30 feet would create a very boring look. The Comm'msion was advised that the final development plen would show the height of each of the individual models. Mr. Swift advised that the roof styles and mass is more important than the height. Staffwill work with the applicant to obtain different roof pitches on the 4,000- end 5,000-square-foot models. The Commission agreed that there did not need to be a limitation of 30 feet for the building heights end that there should be a variation of heights. Mr. Swift noted that a condition could be included that would prohibit the same models being placed on adjoining lots. He advised that the developer indicates which model is being placed on a lot at the building permit stage. The Commission agreed that this process will address the concern.
