b) Architecture <br />(1) Housing styles that reflect a European "wine country " <br />architectural flavor including English Country , French <br />Country, Mediterranean, Monterey /Spanish , or <br />contemporary interpretations of these are appropriate for <br />the MDR District. In addition to being typical of European <br />wine country architecture , these styles are also included <br />within the variety of styles being developed at Ruby Hill . <br />Some of the key architectural elements common to these <br />styles include: <br />• Pitched hip and /or gable roofs <br />• Courtyards <br />• Recessed or hidden garages <br />• Chimneys <br />• Balconies <br />• Decorative entries <br />• Dormer windows <br />• Bay windows <br />• Multi-paned windows <br />• Divided casement windows <br />• Stone, brick, plaster, stucco, or heavy <br />timber building materials <br />• Stone or brick accents (such as wainscoting) <br />• Tile or slate roofing <br />• Light to medium earthtone colors <br />c) Landscaping <br />The landscape design concept for the MDR Dist rict emulates <br />European vineyard villages by contrasting the natural woodland <br />areas located south of Vineyard A venue with more formalized <br />street landscaping , street entry statements, and introduced <br />vineyards. The landscape patterns created by formal tree patterns <br />will define the circulation corridors and be seen from a distance . <br />Colorful planting accents and other detailed landscape elements <br />will further strengthen the formality of the concept. <br />(1) Street trees should generally be placed in an equally-spaced <br />and more formal pattern than in the LDR neighborhoods. <br />Street trees should be used to define vehicular circulation <br />routes and provide accent at street intersections. <br />39
