VIII. ANALYSIS
Analysis Leading to Staff Recommendation:
As stated above, the Planning Director granted approval of an 18 month time extension for Solitude
Place Subdivision No.2. As part of that approval the applicant was to submit for a development
agreement modification to attach building elevations to the subject DA and submit a modified
preliminary plat to comply with the current open space requirements of UDC 11-3G. The applicant
has submitted colored renderings of housing product available for construction within the
Solitude Place NIDA -08-007 Page 2
development. In addition, the applicant has submitted photos of existing homes currently constructed
within Phase 1 of the development. NOTE. The elevations were presented and discussed at the April
11, 2006 City Council hearing but were never tied to the Solitude Subdivision DA. Council was
supportive of the variety and mix of housing product proposed for the development. Staff would
like to point out the Traditional A elevations for all of the proposed houses within the Solitude
Subdivision use vinyl siding as the primary siding material Staff has limited vinyl siding as an
accent material in DA provision 5.1.6 below.
Further, the applicant has sufficiently demonstrated to staff the approved preliminary plat meets to the
10% open space requirements of the UDC. Therefore, Staff is not requiring a modified plat as
required by the Director approved time extension. Instead, staff has included a development
agreement provision that the applicant comply with the open space and amenities as approved with
the preliminary plat (PP -06-006). Staff has attached these color renderings and the open space
calculations as Exhibits A.2 and A.3.
