Guidelines recommend nothing above 50% without some form of retainage. Curnutte stated that the color samples are on one of the elevation drawings. Michael Warmenhoven stated that he was looking for input from the Commission regarding this proje(,t. The design has been done by the applicant and a friend. He stated that their intent is to use rock retaining wails as planters, etc. Discussion followed on the soils test provided by the applicant. Considerable discussion followed on the grading problem and what can be done to alleviate some of the slope. Discussion also followed on the placement of the house on the site. Discussion followed on adding trim to the windows and a better massing of the windows, to dress up the design somewhat. . The colors are a Monterey Grey for the siding, Blue Ridge Grey for the decks, stairs and fascia and Eastern Blue for the clad doors and •..indows. The grading problem was the Commission's most concern As this was a conceptual review, no formal action was taken at this time. Lot 98 Block 1. Wi.ldrid ge_Subdivision_. S4m_Sterling_Gup_1_ex., Conceptual Design Review Jim Curnutte stated that the applicant is requesting conceptual design review of a duplex residence on Lot 98, Block 1, Wildridge. The lot is .43 of an acre (18. 731 square feet). The building ccverage is approximately 4200 square feet or 22%. Approximately 8000 square feet of the lot is covered with impervious materials, including the building, paved driveway and parking areas, for nearly 42% of the site. The fl -c- area of the entire duplex is approximately 4400 square feet. At no point does the PLANNING AND February 19, Page 3 of 6 "I ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES 1991 Lot 98, tlock 1 Wildridcae S, bd_ivisiorl,__Sam_bcer �_9 u Conceptual Design Review, (cont1 building exceed 28' i.i height. No landscape plan has been provided at this point and the grading plan is very conceptually drawn. A 6' ret.aininc wall is currently shown surrounding the building on three sides. The building is proposed to be a two story wood frame building with gable roofs. Building materials include 1" x 8" beveled lap cedar and stucco siding, cedar shake or masonite shingles and clad wood windows. The driveway will be finished with asphalt. Curnutte stated that in Staff's opinion this building does not technically conform to the definition of a duplex. A duplex is "a detached principal building, containing no more than two dwelling units, sharing a common wall no less than twenty percent between both dwelling units...". This building has a common entry corridor between the two units that is covered. Sam Sterling stated that the design concept on the building is to provide a duplex that is actually slightly detached, thus the entry corridor. This is to separate the duplex from having a so called common wall. He stated the site has about 18% slope, therefore he has designed the building to be a split level structure, in which the garages are at the lower level with the living rooms one full story above the garages. He wanted both living rooms to be oriented to the southwest. He stated that the retaining wall will vary from 6 to 18 inches at the sides and the maximum height at the rear will probably be four foot tall. This is to separate the natural vegetation from the sod of the final landscaping. Sterling stated that he is not sure he wants to develop a duplex on this lot. There has been some resistance from the real estate market to do duplexes in the valley. He thought that the four bedroom duplex might be a selling feature. He intends to use the oxford brown for fascia and trim and natural redwood stain for the siding and a pale grayish tan for the stucco. The windows would be clad wood and he would use cedar shakes for the roof. No soils test has been done. Discussion followed on the design of the building, and the placement of the windows. Discussion followed on the massing of the project. It was felt that the massing did not work well at all.

It was felt that it should be softened. It was felt the the arched windows did not tit well in the project. Discusion followed on using the garage elements to split the two units and do away with the common entry way. Discussion followed on the landscaping. The general consensus was that the Commission could not support this project as presented at this time. The Commission advised the applicant to go back and re -think the project. As this was a conceptual design review, no formal action was taken at this time. Lot 10 Wildridge Acres, Vest Res idencp�Design_Revlsions Rick Pylman stated that these are requested design revisions for Lot 10 of Wildridge Acres. The owners are requesting the following changes: Extend the bedroom over the garage by 12"; Extend the bay window up thru 2nd floor; Add window to basement level on south elevation; Change bedroom deck from 4 x 8 to 6 x 8 and remove 45 degree wood braces; Add tudor style trim boards on front entry and side of garage; remove siding from garage and add stucco; and change color scneme. Discussion followed on the proposed changes and how to apply the tudor trim. The applicant wishes to go with the grey look, with white clad windows, and just the doors would be in the forest green accent. Discussion followed on the fact that there is a pre -approved color scheme for this subdivision. It was felt that possibly it would help the subdivision if some of the houses are done in these different colors. After considerable discussion, John Perkins moved to grant approval to the color change and design changes to Lot 10, Wildridge Acres as presented. Clayton McRory seconded. The motion carried unanimously. Although Lot 70, Block 1, Benchmark Subdivison is not scheduled on the agenda, .at the February 5, 1991, meeting it PLANNING AND February 19, Page 5 of 6 ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES 1991 • was continued to this meeting.

Reading and Approval of Planning and_ Zoning _Commission Meeting of February 5. 1991 John Perkins moved to approve the minutes of the February 5, 1991, meeting as submitted. Jack Hunn seconded. The motion carried unanimously. Other Business A worksession was held to discuss the proposed zoning code revisions. Rick Pylman stated that the revisions to the zoning code came about when the question of how to implement the Comprehensive Plan came up. Pylman described how the development rights program came into being. With the revisions there will be no such thing as development rights, and there will be no fracLionalization. There will be a zoning system like most communities in America use. Development will be based on the zoning catagory and you will be allowed to build so many units per acre. He provided several examples of this concept. Pylman stated that the zoning code is made up of 13 chapters and they are looking at making major amendments to 3 or 4 of those chapeter and some minor housekeeeping to others. There are some that will not be changed at all. The three chapters that really have an impact are the zone districts and their allowed uses, and the fractionalization chapter which will be eliminated. Pylman then described each proposed zone district and the changes to be made and how the changes would effect development in those areas. He asked that the Commission take the information provided and compare it to the current zoning code. Pylman then reviewed the proposed zoning map. Considerable discussion followed on the proposed zone districts. Pylman urged the CommisFion to study the information provided PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 19, 1991f Page 6 of 6 and be prepared with comments, as there will be several worksession conducted in the future.
