SUMMARY:
This is an empty lot of record that shares a road with the neighboring parcel. The project site has both a designated building envelope and a designated septic envelope. The proposed architectural design of the structures consist of a country ranch architectural style with materials and colors including pearly white board and batt wood siding, charcoal standing seam metal roofing materials and dark anodized aluminum windows. The rural character of the neighborhood consists of horse barns and white colored ranch homes with ancillary structures. Along with proposed colors and materials and ranch style design, this single-story, this project is visually consistent with neighborhood character as required by the design guidelines of the Design Control Zoning District. There are no unresolved issues.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:

On September 12, 2016, the Toro Area Land Use Advisory Committee (LUAC) voted to approve the project (6-0 vote, 1 abstention) as submitted. They respected that the applicants’ proposed development will occur within the building and septic envelopes and like the single story, low visual impact design.
