PlanningBoard | 2019-11-12 | 2 | Scott Hilk, Pulte Homes, gave a presentation. Board Member Saheba asked how the flat roofed single family homes would be plotted on the site. Mr. Hilk explained that the flat top units would need to be on the main street for proper fire access. He said they were careful to not repeat designs next to each other and varied color schemes as well. Board Member Hom asked if the Landing units would have a different stucco treatment on the ground floor, and how would the backlit panels work. Mr. Hilk said they will use mostly stone on the front of the ground floor. The project architect explained how the screening and ground floor panels would look and activate the first floor. She said the screens would be aluminum or Cortan with powder coating and resistant to corrosion. There was a discussion to clarify that all the windows in the Landing units would be white and some would have dark trim. There were no public speakers. Board Member Teague said he appreciates the changes made. He said the lack of cornice on the Compass product is actually a feature and he would not support changing that part of the design. He said he supported staff's recommendation to wrap the stone around the building. He said he would support the Breeze as is, or would gladly support some improvements in the relatively plain design. He said the Landing would look odd with an additional cornice element. He said he did not like the windows in the stairwell because they do not match the rest of the building. Board Member Cavanaugh said one of the single family home designs looked like a wooden structure placed on top of a stucco building. He said it looks out of place. He said otherwise the project looks great. Board Member Ruiz thanked the applicant for incorporating the Board's feedback from the last round of comments. She said the third floor of the flat roofed single family home needed some improvements to make the proportions work. She suggested that changing the bottom floor of the unit Board Member Cavanaugh had concerns about to horizontal siding may solve some of the design compatibility issues. Board Member Hom said he was neutral about adding a cornice to the Compass units. He said he would like the top element to be something more than aluminum flashing. He said he is not sure if the addition of a flat roof option for the single family homes is an Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 2 of 5 November 12, 2019 | PlanningBoard/2019-11-12.pdf |
