We feel the plan meets the intent of the residential design guideline due to the dramatic, architectural features which greatly minimize the impact of the garage on the front fa,ade and eliminate the need for additional architectural detailing as noted in the permit comments. The significant building modulation, multiple roof lines, and variety of siding materials reflect a high quality product that will bring value to the city of Renton. Specifically: 1) Garage-the garage doors of this plan are offset 1'-4", and also recessed into the front fa,ade to minimize the impact on the front elevation. The use of additional glazing in the doors further reduces the impact and enhances the architectural style of the home. 2) Roof-the roof of this plan is a combination shed/ gable roof with the pitch set at 2.5: 12 to meet the intended modern architectural style, which typically includes low roof lines. The use of multiple rooflines and types creates great interest even with a lower pitch. 3) Architectural Detailing -this plan uses several different siding types for an interesting "texture" over the front fa,ade. In addition, 3 color paint schemes greatly enhance the variety of textures to provide a very high quality product. This plan represents one of four plan types to be offered, with two to three elevations each for a total of 10 unique front elevations, several of which will be offered as "reverse" plans. All are of similar style and quality. The total product count is 28 units, so there is a broad plan mix to avoid using a like plan next to another. The first two plans have been previously approved under permit numbers B13006240 and B13005935 and are currently under construction. Under review at this time are permit applications B14002077 and B14002076. I have included the overall and individual site plans, and elevations as directed, in addition to a copy of the Plan Review Comments for each. Please let me know if you require any further information. I look forward to your response.
