The internal air conditioning unit vents shown on the plans shall match the color of the adjacent siding or stone. 3. The developer shall provide details on the locations and colors of the gutters and down spouts. 4. The peaked roof sections/dormers should be evaluated on whether they could be widened to create a more balanced design. 5. The main entrance shall be revised to be larger, more dramatic, and architecturally compatible with the building. 6. The applicant shall submit garage and trash enclosure elevations for review and approval by staff. The elevations shall use the stone from the building. 7.
