ELEVATIONS SD-11
1. As mentioned in Pre-.application meetings, stucco is not recommended; brick (masonry) is--staff`will
support .,Mternative//2, but brick color is much too light. "Tile" roof system is poor substitute for real
tiles, and on a four story building with as much roof form as shown, it will stick out like a sore thumb.
2. The introduction of a four story, building constructed on the highest portion of this site, coupled with
its bulk, needs to better respect the scale of its neighbors--a way to do that is to "stair-step" ends of
the structure (elevation B), and seriously consider reducing the overall height of this massive building
to a maximum of three stories. As shown, this building will be twice the height of any residence in
Coppell and needs to be redesigned to respect our Iow' density residential community. It is just too tall
(especially as it relates to the Riverchase community) and needs to be a maximum of three stories
high.
3. Balconies that face dedicated streets must be fully enclosed.
ELEVATIONS SD-12
1. See ELEVATIONS SD-11 for materials comments that apply equally here.
