Victor Place Page 4 Building Architecture One of the key components of the Victor Gardens PUD is the French County Eclectic design character. This style is characterized by steeply pitched hip roofs, a variety of natural stones and brick, vertical elements and a variety of decorative cornice and rooflines. The hip roof elements are intended to screen the mechanical roof top units. These pitched rooftop elements were to be located on three sides at the ends of the buildings to screen provide this screening. The buildings should have a variety of rooflines to create the look of several buildings and facades to add interest to the buildings. Additionally, the previous approvals required the architecture to be compatible with the townhomes. Staff has worked closely with the development team to try to meet these design goals. The developer has added the pitched hip roof elements as required by the PUD; however, staff believes that additional revisions are needed to meet the intent of the PUD. Specifically, we have asked the developer to replicate the south roof line on the north elevation. The south elevation has a varied roofline including two steep hip roof elements, but the north elevation only has one such pitched roof line. This creates two issues: • The building does not create an authentic roofline that one would expect if it were a true hip roof element. • The pitched hip rooflines do not align on the north elevation and south elevation; therefore, the back of the north roof line will be visible from the south side and vice-versa. Staff continues to recommend that the south elevation be replicated on the north elevation to create an authentic building appearance that is consistent with the existing buildings in Victor Gardens and the PUD standards.
