The buildings will each have a specific color palate adding interest and diversity to the project's streetscape. The roof material on all of the buildings is proposed as architectural grade composition shingles. Each building is approximately 30 feet tall when measured from finished grade to roof ridge. Staff believes that the proposed vinyl windows, if recessed, could be complementary to the building design. Staff has discussed this with the applicant and has added a condition of approval to reflect this. Street Profile Mr. David Morns, a resident on Adams Street indicated that the proposed development would block the view from his home. As previously mentioned, the property slopes down from the south to the north. The sidewalk on Vineyard Avenue is at approximately 381.2 feet above sea level. The first unit would be constructed at 375.25 feet above sea level (pad elevation), which is approximately six feet below the sidewalk. At a 30-foot height, the proposed development would be approximately 24 feet above that sidewalk; taller than the existing one-story house on the site but lower than the adjacent three- story buildings. In comparison to other developments on Vineyard Avenue, staff finds that the proposed height is comparable. In addition, the applicant has prepared street profiles showing building profiles cross Vineyard Avenue at Adams Way. The profile demonstrates that that the proposed two-story development would be significantly lower than the adjoining three-story building to the west, and that its roof line would not project beyond the existing homes on Adams Street. Street Profile Landscaping/Fencing The arborist surveyed 30 trees consisting eight species and including five heritage sized trees. Four of the surveyed trees are located off site and the rest are located on site. The tree report Case No. PUD-71 Planning Commission Page - 8 -
