RE_ CZC for pump houseFrom:Sophia Durham To:Alan Tiefenbach Subject:RE: CZC for pump house Date:Tuesday, September 22, 2020 4:33:24 PM Attachments:image002.png Elevations.pdf L2 Landscape Plan.pdf External Sender - Please use caution with links or attachments. Good Afternoon Alan, Thank you for your email and helping to get this pump house shed approved. Attached are the revised elevations and landscape plan to show the trellises and pump house. We will be installing ivy as the plant on the trellises. I have attached a photo to that affect. As for ASM requirement 3.2A – we believed that adding a band detail and decorative lattice over the door in addition to the trellises would qualify as our architectural features. I understand your thoughts as having the pump house somewhat uniform to the elevations provided with the planning submittal, those were only conceptual and will depend on the builders and homeowners. As the developers are going with an elevated farmhouse look for the subdivision, I believe this design follows through. The pump house is actually in the back of the subdivision as the gate shown on the plan is the secondary entrance. We will incorporate additional landscaping after the pump house is completed to make sure that it is not noticeable from the street. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. Lastly, when I upload these plans online under the CZC Application would you like me to remove the previous upload and then upload all documents including these new ones as a single Zip file? Please advise. Thank you, Sophia Durham 4824 W.

You mentioned there will be a vine on each of the lattices. Please tell me what type of plant that will be. After looking at the approved elevations from the Three Corners Preliminary Plat, I understand why you chose the grey colors because the approved elevations are mostly using that scheme. Given the small size of the structure, I believe the majority of the requirements of the ASM aren’t applicable to this project. I DO think this particular requirement applies: 3.2A - For at least 30% of applicable façades use any combination of concrete, masonry, stone, or unique variation of color, texture, or material, at least 10-inches in height, around the base of the building. May alternatively incorporate other architectural features such as ledges, façade reveals, ground level fenestration, raised planters, or landscaping elements within 3-feet of finished grade. If you look at the elevations I provided, ALL of them provide a hardy board or similar type lap siding and a base of stone. My recommendation will be this or a similar element is carried to the pump house, as this structure will be right at the front of the development when you come in and is in direct view from the pathway. Please update the landscape plan and elevations accordingly, or let me know why this is not feasible and what alternative you propose.
