City of Renton Planning and Development Design Review 1055 South Grady Way Renton, WA 98057 Re: 1224 Monterey Ave NE To whom it may concern: EXHIBIT 1 Signature Custom Homes is proposing to build a contemporary design custom home at 1224 Monterey Avenue Northeast Renton. The new nine lot subdivision [Monterey Heights] currently has at least 3 of the 7 homes, 1215, 1200, 1212 Monterey Avenue Northeast, with design modification approvals for roof pitch and front elevation detail. These homes are recently completed or currently under construction. To properly execute the Northwest contemporary design style consistent with the above mentioned homes, we are requesting roof design modification (below 6/12 pitch), window and door trim modification less than 4" or no trim, and last where the roof terminates flush with the exterior there are no eaves. The design requests for modification are all consistent with the three current builds in the subdivision. The architecture firm on this project, Motion Space Architecture, made a significant effort to vary the exterior materials with a blend of high end finishes: stone, natural wood, and fiber cement. These elements along with the above average glazing, exterior modulation, and varying roof forms create a unique home that will be a great fit in the Renton community. In conclusion, it is Signature's position that this home be approved for construction based on the reasons previously mentioned, as well as Signature continued and documented efforts to build high quality homes with varying architecture in the City of Renton.
