The applicant has partially addressed this situation by placing three of the garage entries on the sides of the units,and by proposing decorative 'prairie-style'garage doors on some front loading garages.Town Staff would recommend altering garages adjacent to side loading garages to be side loaded also, utilizing a shared driveway.This would decrease the number of front loading garages from 12 to 10.Town Staff further recommends that all of the remaining front loading garages receive the decorative `prairie-style'garage doors. Proposed landscaping is adequate in terms of placement,quantity,and variety.Since the lot is surrounded on all sides by designated open space,additional buffering is not necessary. Storm water management facilities are not provided on site. However,the Holland Fields plat includes storm water detention areas on outlots on either side of Lot 11. Furthermore,the site naturally slopes toward the wetlands to the west(rear)of the site. Architectural Design As noted,the garages provide the primary means of architectural expression on the first floor street frontage. Architecturally relevant entries or porches are not provided.While this is not ideal, it should be noted again that the units are laid out'backwards'to take advantage of views toward the wetlands.Therefore,the decision to avoid architecturally highlighting what is functionally a rear entry may be appropriate. Building elevations appear to offer a variety of materials including brick,3"vinyl siding, and 5"vinyl siding.The materials are deployed to reinforce the prairie style effect of the architecture.The prairie style effect is further reinforced by the use of casement windows with prairie style mullions,and the prairie style garage doors. Again,Town Staff recommends that all of the front loading garages receive the prairie style garage doors. In many cases on the building elevations provided,window trim is shown disrupting the continuous bandboard trim.Town Staff recommends that the bandboard be continuous with the disruptions avoided,to reinforce the horizontality that is essential to prairie style buildings.
