• YardHomes Design — There was some neighborhood feedback regarding how <br />accessible the YardHomes would be to seniors, parking access and heating sources. <br />This portion of the site plan will continue to be refined to address senior and parking <br />accessibility. <br />Townhome Design and HOA <br />Pulte Homes is known for the extraordinary steps that we take to ensure that we are designing <br />and building homes that meet the everchanging needs and desires of home buyers. We <br />continually reach out to the public and Pulte homeowners to get feedback to improve our home <br />designs. We call this Life Tested®. Through this intensive process, we have conceived of and <br />incorporated many innovative home design features such as the Pulte Planning Center, <br />Everyday Entry, Super Laundry, Oversized Pantry, and the Owner's Retreat. This exhaustive <br />process has played a major part in Pulte's success in "Building Incredible Places Where People <br />Can Live Their Dreams." <br />We will create a homeowner's association (HOA) which will provide lawn care, snow removal, <br />and building exterior maintenance. This type of home appeals to singles and first-time home <br />buying families. We also find that approximately 30% of the buyers of this home are empty nesters <br />for a variety of reasons. First, they are attracted to the lawn maintenance and snow removal <br />provided by the HOA. Second, empty nesters are attracted to the smaller square footage as they <br />desire a smaller home to live in and to maintain. Third, the open and flexible floor plans and <br />options such as a sunroom have been very appealing to this demographic group. Combined, <br />these traits have led this home to be very popular among empty nesters. <br />Pulte Townhomes <br />Guided for medium density we believe our two-story townhomes would not just meet the <br />intended guidance for the site but complement the existing uses adjacent to and across the <br />street from this site. The appearance and height of the two-story townhome is entirely consistent <br />with the single-family and the other twin and townhomes in this area. <br />Townhomes will start at approximately 1,850 to 2,020 square feet of finished living space. A <br />popular option among empty nesters is the two-story addition to the rear of the home which <br />adds a sunroom to the first floor and a sitting room in the master bedroom on the second floor. <br />Depending on what options are chosen, anticipated townhome prices will range from high <br />$300k's to the mid $500k's. Our customers appreciate this range of customization. <br />The number of homes within each building will vary from four to six. Every home will have a two <br />car garage with space in the driveway for two additional cars. Our proposal also includes off- <br />street guest parking as well. <br />We have placed considerable effort on the architecture of the homes. Front facades are <br />individualized and stylized with varying windows, gables, shutters, materials, dormers, and roof <br />lines. The use of shakes and banding boards serve as strong accents. Side elevations present a <br />variety of roof lines and siding materials/patterns. Rear elevations also present a similar <br />combination of interesting and varied features and colors. Architectural drawings are included <br />with our submittal. <br />5 <br />
