Water's Edge Sixth Addition Compliance with Multi -family Design Guidelines April 16, 2018 The following discusses how the proposed Villa homes for Waters Edge Sixth Addition will comply with the various design standards found in Section III of the City of Hugo Multi -family Development Design Guidelines adopted December 19, 2005. A. GENERAL This section stresses creative site planning and quality architecture to avoid monotony. The proposed PUD Amendment will provide a new villa style home to the Waters Edge Community and thus variety from the existing adjacent row townhomes. The proposal is for three base model homes and the amended plat allows for some homes to have patios and others three car garages. A large color palette for the exterior will also provide diversity with no usage of the same color palette for any adjacent home allowed. Also, no same model of home will be allowed adjacent to another to further break up any potential monotony of the homes. B. SITE PLANNING BASICS This section stresses placement of building to avoid a monotonous, barrack -style of development and minimizing transitions from existing developments to minimize impacts. The PUD Amendment changes the design concept from 106 units of row townhomes to 37 villa style single family homes. This greatly reduces the impact on the existing townhome units that have been built and breaks up the potential monotony of adding similar row townhome units with the variety of each villa home with the large potential color palette and variety of home models. C. BUILDING SETBACKS This section discusses setbacks and certain desired building designs for window and porches for multi -family units to create a better sense of community. The proposed villa homes have a number of windows on all sides and a small front porch area and so incorporate this suggestion. The setbacks for the entire Waters Edge development were previously approved and will be complied with unless otherwise noted to accommodate certain lots. D. BUILDING MASS This section discusses that the units should be articulated to break-up the building fagade on all elevations and how it might be accomplished. The proposed villa units will have a variety of elements that break up the fagade including columns, porches, window and dormers. Additionally, the use of a stone fagade on a portion of the first level will further accomplish this goal. The building materials proposed will include Smartside siding and stone on the front side of the villa unit and vinyl siding on the other three sides. E. ARCHITECTURE This section discusses a variety of architectural elements. The proposed architecture elements for the front side of the villa units to use stone accent on the lower portion and Smartside lap siding combined with the variety of models and color palette will provide a unique design for the units. Vinyl lap siding will be used on the other three sides with a variety window sizes and shapes to further enhance the architectural design and appeal.
