The front facing wall contains a mix of rock face block, brick,.vinyl siding and accents consisting of cement fiber, metal fascia, and burnished block. Although this is considered the building front, it doesn't contain any front doors. The reason for no doors is that the grades are such that too many steps would be required to access the front doors from Bunker Lake Blvd. However, there are 12 large windows that project outward from the building to provide fagade articulation for pedestrian appeal. Color elevations have been provided that confirm the use of color and material changes. The color elevations include two options to provide a varied rather than repetitive appearance to the building fronts. It appears that the front wall will meet the Town Center guidelines. The two end walls previously consisted of only vinyl siding. Per the Town Center Guidelines, architectural accents of material and color changes were added. The rear wall will act as the front door as it will be the only entrance to these units. This wall also faces the single family homes in 8th Addition. The majority of the rear wall was made up of vinyl siding with some rock face block accents on either end of the structure. Per Town Center Guidelines, the rear wails have been modified to include additional masonry materials, color changes, and accent features utilized on the front wall. The minimum driveway length is 20 feet and the maximum is 25 feet. Because of the curvilinear streets and the unique shape and depth of the property, several of the driveways exceed the 25 foot maximum length restriction. The Board of Adjustment grated a variance on December I, 2005. The maximum front yard setback is 25 feet. ~Due to the significant grade changes between the plat and Bunker Lake Blvd., the buildings are sited with front yard setbacks that range from 28 to 35 feet from the right-of-Fay or property line. The Board of Adjustment granted a variance on December 1, 2005. All of the streets (147th Terrace, Xenolith and Willemite have been dedicated on the final plat of Kamsey Town Center 8th Addition as public streets. The streets are being constructed in accordance with the 8th Addition Development Contract. The TC-4a District requires 2 off-street parking spaces for each unit; the double garages and driveways provide 4 off-street parking spaces for each unit. In addition, the fmai site plan identifies the inclusion of 14 guest parking spaces adjacent to the public road. The Development Contract will require homeowner association responsibility for maintenance of the guest parking nodes.
