STAFF REVIEW/ANALYSIS In addition to the development standards for height, FAR, etc. outlined above, the Estates on Oak Ridge architectural design guidelines address the DDA/building envelope, landscaping, architectural style, and other design parameters. Below is an analysis of the subject proposal in comparison with those architectural design guidelines. Please see the project plans and view simulation in Exhibit B, and color and material board available at the hearing for additional information on the subject project. Figure 3: Site Plan • ="="4.1=1alp,. .... - 1111 IAETLAL 1171 PLAN Al Site Design The architectural design guidelines prescribe a DDA that establishes a defined building envelope within which any development on the subject lot must occur; there are no additional setback requirements for the Subdivision. The proposed residence is sited completely within the DDA area, as required. The DDA is fairly flat in relation to the other portions of the subject lot, which reduces the amount of grading necessary to accommodate the footprint of the residence. By orienting the driveway approach within a flat portion of the site, minimal grading would be necessary to provide access from Winding Oaks Drive. Additionally, as previously noted, a photo simulation showing the outline of the proposed residence was provided which demonstrates that it would not be visible from Vineyard Avenue, due to existing topography and intervening mature oak trees. Moreover, the proposed landscape plan has been designed to further screen the proposed residence from the adjacent existing residences to the east and west. Architectural Design The architectural design guidelines indicate buildings should be designed to minimize visual height and bulk. Building height, bulk, and floor area should respond to the lot size, natural site terrain, and other site conditions.

The main body color is a light olive green and the trim is an off-white color. Proposed Landscape The proposed landscape plan includes a tree/plant palette of primarily drought tolerant native and non-native species, as well as some hardscape features highlighted by a decorative brick driveway and entry walkway, decorative patio, and decorative stepping pads. None of the existing trees on the parcel are proposed for removal or will be affected by the project. A photo simulation showing the outline of the proposed residence was provided which demonstrates that it would not be visible from Vineyard Avenue, due to existing topography and intervening mature oak trees. Given this fact, typical photo simulations showing color 3D perspectives of the home were not required. Please see the attached project plans (Exhibit B) for additional information on the project. A color and material board will be available for review at the hearing. P19-0092, 6 Winding Oaks Drive Planning Commission 4 of 9 supply two years from now through a parking structure.
