Item 8. Project: Solitude Place Subdivision - (MDA-08-00'n
Location: East side of N. Meridian Road and south of E. McMillan Road
Applications: Development Agreement Modification
History: In 2006, the subject property was granted Annexation and Zoning (AZ-06-007) and
preliminary plat (PP-06-006) approval by City Council with an R-8 zoning district. A Development
Agreement was approved with the annexation (Instrument No. 1060133466). During the public
hearing, the applicant presented to the Council the 13 different styles of homes including the 4
different elevations proposed for the subdivision. The approved DA did not include building elevations
or reference building design/materials. The Planning Director approved a time extension in 2008 which
conditioned the applicant submit for a development agreement modification to include building
elevations.
Highlights of Proposed Development: The applicant has submitted colored renderings of available
units and photos of existing homes currently constructed within Phase 1 of the development. The
brochures do not specify the building materials but depict various building contrasts including a mix of
materials and roof design. The photos of existing homes provided by the applicant demonstrate a mix
of vinyl siding and a stucco home. Additional photos taken by Staff of other homes in the subdivision
illustrates that there is a mix of building materials and design elements consistent with the proposed
DA provision and Design Manual.
Staff Recommendation: Approval with the following DA provisions:
1. Future homes on this site shall generally be consistent in appearance to the elevations (photos)
attached in Exhibit A2. The applicant shall construct homes on the site that contain the following
design features: varying pitched roof design including gable and hip rooflines facing the street,
shutters around the windows on the front facade, substantial pillars with substantial bases and front
facades accented with brick/stone, garage doors with a glazing element for street facing garages
and covered front porch areas. Building materials shall be of quality materials including but not
limited to wood siding, Hardie Plank siding and/or stucco, incorporating varying siding materials
(wide plank, narrow plank, board and batten, and cedar shingles), vinyl siding shall be used as an
accent material only. All future homes shall have a minimum of two field colors and a trim color.
2. The applicant shall comply with the open space requirements and amenities approved with PP-06-
006. At a minimum the applicant shall provide 10% common open space for the Solitude
Subdivision.
Written Testimony since Staff Report: Staff has not received any written comments from the applicant.
Outstanding Issue(s) for City Council: Staff has recommended limiting vinyl siding as an accent
material in the DA. Should vinyl siding be limited as an accent building material in combination with
other materials rather than a primary building material proposed by the applicant.
