Wildridge Road East
Project Description: Jeff Manley, Martin Manley Architects, representing Les Boris, the
property owner, are proposing a new single family home on the subject property
described above. The Commission held a sketch design review of the proposed
structure at their October 5, 2010 meeting.
Discussion: Jared Barnes highlighted Staffs report. Commissioner Struve questioned
the retaining walls, specifically the heights, materials and colors proposed.
John Martin made himself available for questions of the Commission. Lee Whitington,
project engineer, stated that the proposed driveway was the option that the Town Staff
requested.
Commissioner Struve felt that there may be too much lighting proposed and
questioned how many fixtures are shown on the plans. Staff responded that there
were five (5) light fixtures. The Commissioners continued their discussion of the
proposed lighting and whether or not 5 lights was excessive. The discussion
concluded with soffit lighting above the garage replacing the sconce fixtures as the
consensus.
Green questioned if the proposed 10 sagebrush and 5 rabbitbrush would result in a
"haircut" appearance. Mr. Martin felt that the number proposed was appropriate for the
site design.
The Commissioners were in agreement that the project was in conformance with the
Design Guidelines. Commissioner Green desired more shrubs to help feather the
limits of construction. He also requested that the drip irrigation lines be removed
instead of abandoned.
Action: Commissioner Struve move to approve the application with the conditions
listed in the Staff Reports as well as:
1. The three wall mounted light fixtures by garage be replaced with soffit light
fixtures
2. An additional 5 rabbitbrush and 5 sagebrush be added to the landscape plan
to help feather the limits of disturbance.
