Lot 83, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivi_sion,_WahljDeg_en Fou_rplex� Conceptual Desj_gn_Review Jim Curnutte stated that the applicants have named the project Mountain View Townhouses. This is the second conceptual review and the first plan has essentially been scrapped. They have made changes directly related to the Commission's comments of the last meeting. He stated that the lot is nearly an acre, but about a third of the lot is restricted by a overhead power line easement. He stated that this is a fourplex building with a maximum building height of 23 feet. Each unit includes a two car garage and gas fireplaces in each of the units. Exterior building materials are eight inch cedar rustic channel siding, woodruf shingles, aluminum clad wood windows, insulated steel doors, concrete walkways and steps, and asphalt parking and driveway. The applicant has contracted with BFI for individual unit trash pickup and a letter is in the file. A grading/drainage plan and a landscape plan has been provided. The grading plan shows that a treated timber retaining wall will be provided on the west side of the driveway. The maximum height will be six feet. The landscape plan shows a good mixture of plant sizes and species. Formal lawn areas will be provided in front of the unit as well as the sides of the building. Although not indicated on the plan, an automatic irrigation will be provided to all sod areas and a drip irrigation system to those trees outside of the system area. A project sign is indicated on the plans, but no elevations have been provided. The most substantial changes are that the repetitious gable roof form has been more creatively designed and the east and west entryways have been moved to the sides of the building. Since this is a conceptual review, no formal recommendation will be presented at this time. Staff suggests that the applicant take another look at the entrance way and possibly providing adequate back up space. Richard Wahl stated that they have tried to meet all the Commission's requirements.

The Commission commended the applicants for their response to the Commission's concerns. Chairman Perkins reviewed the concerns voiced at this time as follows: Project sign will need to be presented at time of final design review. Look at the entryway canopies and make them a stronger statement with the shed roof repeated twice. Retaining wall be stepped if it becomes too high in elevation, and landscaping be added. Make sure that the driveway works and that Staff is satisfied with it.
