Resolution No. PC-2019-_ Page Three 9. Architectural concept of miscellaneous structures, street furniture, public art in relationship to the site and landscape because the proposed secondary structures match the Craftsman architectural style of the main home and the landscape is compatible with the surrounding area and properties. The project includes the construction of one new single-family residence on an approximately 3.3-acre vacant lot. The lot has steep up-slopes from west to east but is not visible from Vineyard Avenue. Most of the existing vegetation on the lot is dispersed over the south, north, and west sides of the lot and outside of the approved building envelope. The proposed residence is wholly within the approved building envelope (DDA) on the lot, avoids the steep slopes on the lot, and does not conflict with any existing trees or vegetation. Additionally, an extensive landscape plan is proposed which includes planting approximately 23 trees on-site as well as other smaller plants and shrubs. The Planning Commission finds the proposed development on the site is sensitive to the site's natural features, vegetation and topography. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed development considers preservation of the natural beauty on the site and maintains an appropriate relationship to the landscape. The neighborhood includes a mixture of larger rural-residential lots, some of which remain vacant and others that have been developed with single-family residences typically sited with large setbacks and generous landscaping. The Commission finds that the proposed residence with generous setbacks is compatible with the land use pattern in the neighborhood and previously developed properties in the vicinity. The proposed residence will be sited on the flattest portion of the lot to minimize grading. The proposed residence will not be visible from Vineyard Avenue; however, it will be visible from some residences to the east and west. Once the proposed landscaping matures, the residence will be substantially screened from view and will have limited visibility. The Planning Commission finds the landscaping is designed to enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas, provide shade, and conform to established streetscape. The proposed residence has a well-articulated building design with varied depths. The proposed building forms will help reduce the perceived mass and scale of the residence when viewed off-site. As such, the Planning Commission finds the proposed residence has an appropriate scale when viewed on and off the site and will maintain the preservation of views enjoyed by the community. The Planning Commission further finds the architectural style and detailing of the proposed residence is compatible with the existing residences and neighborhood and conforms to the PUD-54 regulations and design guidelines. The design of the residence exhibits several low-pitched gable roof lines, smooth horizontal lapped siding, exposed rafter tails, wood columns with brick bases, brick wainscoting and dark gray composition shingle roofing. The main body color is a light olive green and the trim is an off-white color, consistent with the earth-tone color palette required by the subdivision architectural design guidelines. ng Commission Minutes Page 6 of 27 June 26, 2019
