We appreciate your thoughtful analysis and flexibility. We would like however to continue the discussion a bit further in an effort to clarify our requests and maximize our ability to provide home design consistent with the expectations of the community. To this end, the following are our responses to your comments, listed in the order of our original proposals. 1. Rear Yard Setback. City Staff is requesting a maximum percentage of the rear lot width where the 5-foot rear setback would be permitted. We agree and suggest that this figure be 50%. We have a concem however over your desire to exclude the 8,500 sf lots (PA 5) from the reduced rear yard allowance. Without the reduced rear yard allowance, we will be unable to provide the "L" shaped home necessary for the indoor/outdoor rooms and large usable rear/side yards, which is a highly desired and expected feature in the higher price range which is anticipated for this neighborhood. Due to the narrowness of the PA 5 ridge, these lots are still only 100 feet in depth and the reduced setback is needed to accommodate this design. We do not believe that including the 8,500 sf lots in the mix will negatively impact any other neighborhoods in that all of the 36 units within PA 5 back up to open space. For Toll to not realize the ability to provide one of our trademark design features of our high-end homes would be a severe blow to oiu" community design and sales program. We request that you reconsider your recommendation to eliminate the 8,500 sf lots from the reduced rear yard setback program. 2. Single Story Modification. We agree with your recommendafion to restrict the upper story of the modified single story to 40% of the first floor area. We also agree that the modified single story should be placed in the center area of the structure so as to maximize single story eave edges. We are hopeful that some flexibility exists however, so as to avoid a total monotony of design on the modified single story structures. 3. Lot Coverage PA 5. We agree with the recommended 50% lot coverage for single story homes on PA 5. 4. Building Height PA 5. You indicate City Staff non-support of our request to increase the 30-foot height limit on PA 5. Another important trademark feature of Toll Brothers home design is the 10-foot first floor, and 9-foot second floor ceiling heights. On larger homes with normal slope pitch, this results in a tight 31.5 foot height to the roof ridge. Our architects have labored over this issue, and are unable to achieve the 30-foot limit supported by City Staff. We have tried sinking the floor into the building pad, which creates its own set of costly design and construction problems. We have tried lowering the pitch to flatter than 3:12, and find it unattractive. Our design efforts and experience conclude that we need a minimum of 31.5- feet structural height from the building pad to the top of the roof ridge tiles. Therefore we are reducing our original 5-foot increase request to a 2-foot increase. We would not spend the effort to request a 2-foot mcrease were it not very important to the quality of the product. PA 5 will possess the largest and most expensive homes in the community. As a result of the larger home area, the roof also covers a larger area, which results in greater distances between eave and ridge. This greater distance results in a higher ridge height than the smaller lots have. Further, allowing an additional 1.5 to 2 feet in building height would not impact residences in The Colony, since the closest home in the Colony is 190 feet away. And this Colony home's view orientation is westerly, not toward PA 5. The closest Colony home oriented toward PA 5 will be some 400 feet away and 10 feet higher in elevation. Note also that the top 2-feet of the PA 5 homes (from 30-feet to 32-feet) affects only the peak of the roof, and therefore the increased surface area is a very minimal area of the roof. We request that City Staff reconsider this matter and support allowing a 32-foot height limit on the PA 5 homes. 5. Poiicv 44 Compliance. No comments. All agreement. 6. Side-Loaded Garages - PA 5. It has come to our attention that we inadvertently overlooked one additional concem and would like to bring it up at this time. All of the smaller-lot PUD plarming areas include allowance [and encouragement] for "side entry garages". While these planning areas require 20-foot front yard setback for front-entry garages, they allow 10-foot front yard setback for side entry garages. PA 5 regulations in the Master Plan do not specifically provide for this 10-foot setback on side entry garages. We will be proposing 3-car garages on most or all of the PA 5 homes and wish to provide this feature through one or more side entry garages. We would appreciate your considerafion of allowance to allow 10-foot front yard setback for side entry garages on PA 5, consistent with the standards allowed on the PUD neighborhoods. Thank you for your consideration of the above issues. We look forward to your response and our preparation of a Master Plan Amendment in accordance with these requests.
