P19-0379, 1 Brozosky Hill Lane Planning Commission General Residential Design Guideline (pages 30 and 31) • Buildings should be designed to minimize visual height and bulk. Building height, bulk, and floor area should respond to lot size, natural site terrain, and other site conditions. Wall recesses and projections, roof overhangs, decks, porches, bay windows, dormer windows, and other architectural features are encouraged to reduce visual bulk and create interest. • Building feature proportions (i.e., doors, windows, entries, roof forms, wall massings, etc.) should be carefully balanced. One-story entries are strongly encouraged while entries exceeding one-and-one-half stories should be prohibited. Specific Hillside Residential District Design Guideline (page 35) • House designs should be limited to traditional architectural styles and forms adjusted to conform to the natural character of the site. • Architectural design should emphasize the blending of buildings into the natural surroundings and minimizing building visibility from off-site areas. • Medium to dark earth-tone building colors shall be used to complement the surrounding natural setting. Darker colors will generally be less conspicuous when viewed from a distance. White, tan, light gray, blue, and yellow are inappropriate building base colors. The applicant has developed home plans. Lots A and C would be split level homes with a two-story elevation facing the trail. Lot B would be a single-story home; however, with the existing topography, there is a crawl space under the living area. With the proposed two- story elevations facing north, the home on Lots A and C may not satisfy the requirement of minimizing visibility from off-site areas. Please see Figures 5-7.
