Roofline Variation <br />The building elevations incorporate varied rooflines, including multiple front-facing gables and changes in <br />ridge height across each building. <br />This approach aligns with City guidance encouraging: Roofline variation, Visual interest along the street, A <br />more residential architectural character. The proposed design successfully breaks up long root spans and <br />creates a more dynamic and visually appealing streetscape. <br />Material Variation and Architectural Detail <br />The buildings utilize a combination of materials, including: Horizontal lap siding, Shake-style siding, Stone <br />accents at building bases and entry points This material variation is consistent with City expectations tor <br />high-quality design and helps avoid flat or monotonous building elevations. The use of stone at the base of <br />the structure provides visual grounding and enhances overall architectural quality. <br />Garage Treatment and Streetscape Design <br />Garage placement and design are addressed in a manner consistent with City guidance to minimize garage <br />dominance. The proposed design includes: Recessed garage doors set behind the primary fa9ade plane, <br />architectural detailing above garage openings, integration of windows and materials to balance garage mass <br />This design approach reduces the visual prominence of garages and supports a more pedestrian-oriented <br />streetscape. <br />Pedestrian Orientation and Neighborhood Integration <br />The building design supports pedestrian-oriented development through: Clearly defined unit entries, <br />integration with internal sidewalk systems, visual connection between building fronts and the street. These <br />elements contribute to a cohesive neighborhood environment and align with the City's emphasis on <br />walkability and community interaction. <br />Architectural Variety and Neighborhood Character <br />The combination of 2-unit, 3-unit, and 4-unit buildings further enhances architectural variety across the site. <br />In addition to building variation, Lenna r's use of multiple color packages ensures that adjacent units do not <br />repeat identical colors and materials, reducing monotony and enhancing the overall visual character of the <br />development. <br />Overall Compliance with City Design Intent <br />The proposed architectural design meets and supports the intent of the City of Hugo Multi-Family Design <br />Guidelines by: Providing varied and articulated building elevations, incorporating multiple materials and <br />design elements, reducing garage dominance, creating a pedestrian-friendly streetscape, enhancing overall <br />neighborhood character. The proposed design is consistent with and in several areas exceeds the City's <br />expectations for multi-family residential development. <br />Lennar is committed to working with the City to incorporate feedback and refine the exterior architectural <br />design in a manner consistent with City guidelines and expectations. <br />Pg.8
