The Design Review meeting gives the opportunity to examine the issues. The committee is made up of one P&Z Commissioner, one City Council member, and one professional from the community. The purpose of the Design Review Committee meeting is often to reach an amicable compromise for the applicant and the community. Val Christensen said the issue is building length. The planned buildings are 44 and 1/2 feet in length. The Development Code states there must be a jog a minimum of every 40 feet to break up the length of the building. The front and back of the buildings are okay. The sides need to be addressed. Pioneer Pointe Condominiums will be on property behind World Gym. The property size is 4 acres, and there will be fifteen 4-plexes with 60 doors. The property is zoned Medium Density Residential 1 (MDR1). The site plan was examined and discussed. Johnny Watson said in the elevation that fronts the street, it would be nice to see some variation in materials. Winston Dyer suggested a band to break up the siding. Strips of vertical siding could bring a change of color and texture, to break up the length of the building. Johnny Watson suggested the use of gables. Chris Mann preferred that every building have the additions. Jon Gregory said he would be willing to make the changes that are necessary. The Design Review Committee concluded that the extra side building length would be acceptable, in return for the following additions on each building to help make the buildings attractive and community friendly: 1. Texture change - board and batten of different color for the verticals. 2. A gabled roof will be on the sides with shingle presentation. 3. Shutter the windows with a different color than the building to provide additional variety. Winston Dyer thanked Jon Gregory for his willingness to work with them. These buildings will be an asset to the community.
