Site Layout and Site Improvements <br />The proposed development would extend Lynn Drive to the west, following the <br />alignment of the Arroyo. As it turns southerly to connect to Rose Avenue, it becomes <br />Melinda Way. Leah Lane would be located to the east of Melinda Way, connecting <br />Rose Avenue with the extended Lynn Drive. <br />Separated sidewalks (i.e., sidewalks which are separated from the street by a planting <br />strip, including trees) are proposed. Separated sidewalks are common in residential ar- <br />eas, and are a fundamental principle of good design. The proposed separated side- <br />walks would be compatible with the street design of the surrounding residential devel- <br />opments. <br />Home Design <br />The proposed "Craftsman ", "Kensington" and "Berkeley" models would be compatible <br />with the style of homes found in the existing developments along Rose Avenue. Figure <br />3 shows the front elevations of Plan 1. Staff finds the stucco, siding, and stone wall <br />materials, composition shingles, garage doors, window shutters, and porch posts to be <br />compatible with the design of adjacent neighborhoods. Window treatments are <br />traditional in appearance and would enhance the building exteriors. The applicant has <br />provided architectural detailing and accent relief on the building elevations to break up <br />the two -story facades and provide visual relief. Staff believes that the proposed color <br />schemes would be compatible with the house colors in the existing homes in the <br />vicinity. <br />Fiaure 3: Front Elevations of Plan 1 <br />PUD -99 <br />7 <br />Planning Commission <br />
