Elements such as stone and brick veneers, metal panels, ceramic tile, metal canopies, flat and metal seamed roofs all assist in conveying a modern design. The color scheme encompasses earth tones of tans, browns and greys. Courtyards are provided along Main Street, Edgewood Road and the internal east elevation to break up massing and create distinct building sections. A total of 25,947-square feet of common open space will be dispersed throughout the project. These areas will consist of 4 ground level courtyards with amenities such as seating areas, tables and chairs, shade trellises, fire pits, and enhanced landscaping. A 9,281-square foot rooftop amenity deck will also be provided that will include a pool and spa, cabanas, fire pits, lounge chairs, shade structures and stairwells, an elevator tower and restrooms. The rooftop deck is surrounded by parapet walls to minimize views into the neighborhood and is approximately 240-feet from the east property line. The club room and fitness center provide residents with opportunities for on -site services and entertainment space. In addition, private open space in the form of patios or balconies will be provided for each unit. The balconies and patios range from 53 to 77 square feet in size. As proposed, there are 46 studio unit which do not have a private patio or balcony; however, the Specific Development requires that all units have a balcony or similar private open space, a bike repair room and a bike storage component. The missing balconies and bike rooms will be incorporated and verified during the plan check process. Prior project amenities such as a dog wash room, Amazon lockers, and business services room have been eliminated from this proposal. The applicant is proposing to retain all healthy trees along the east and southern property lines. An arborist report was prepared that included mitigation measures that will ensure the trees remain in a healthy condition both pre and post -construction. The report also identified 8 trees (7 Sweet Gum trees and 1 Cypress tree) along the eastern property line that are in an unhealthy condition and are proposed to be removed. Additional trees of a similar size and type as the mature trees will be planted to fill in those areas where trees have been removed or are missing. This proposal will also require two existing Palm Trees on Edgewood Road to be removed in order to accommodate an emergency access road at the east end of the site. This tree removal will require review from the Environmental and Transportation Advisory Committee, which will occur at a later date. However, the applicant has been working with the Orange County Fire Authority in an effort to utilize an existing driveway on Edgewood Road as the emergency access point; thereby allowing the mature Palm Trees to remain. Finally, the applicant is proposing to raise the height of the wall adjacent to the single-family dwellings on the east property line from six feet to eight feet in height.
