Accessible Space, Inc. Roselawn Village ASI's Roselawn Village apartments will provide 22 apa11ment units. Six will be two bedroom, 16 will be one bedroom. The building will be three stories tall, and have a hip roof with asphalt shingles, matching the residences in the mea. The roof1ine will feature extended eaves (4 to 5 ft) to visually Imver its height. The base of the building will be faced in brick, matching the brick used on the VSI commercial building. The upper levels will be faced with lap siding with variety and detail provided by areas of shake siding extending slightly forward from the building, creating a shadow line. The building will be "L" shaped, wi th the Roselawn facade broken by a setback at the connection of the north and south wings of the building. The building has been placed, designed and detailed, and the unique semi-circular mchitectural fence of ma<.;onry and ironwork ha<.; been designed and detailed, to provide two public transitions. The first transition occurs along Roselmvn from the commercial building located at the corner to the single family home setback along the remainder of the block. The 15 ft setback of most of the building face, and the 33 ft setback of the last 25 ft of the building face "the notch", and the 20 ft of open yard, provide a stepping back to the adjacent single family homes. The architectural fence, with the brick piers matching the brick on the commercial building, the substance provided by the ironwork, and the verticality of the five trees, visually carries the comer building line to the edge of our site. The second transition is from the Villas across Roselawn to our building. The use of a blick base, lap and shake siding, the reveals at the intersections of the lap and shake siding, the hip roof with extended eaves, the dual setbacks of 15 ft and then 33 ft, and the placement and design of the windows all increase the interest of the facade of the building and visually reduce it<.; height. The interest and substance of the architectural fence and the plantings in the fence provide a foreground for the view from across Roselawn and the transition to the residence. We will be requesting assistance through the "Cornerstone" grant program for these streetside improvements. On the south side of the building, between the building and the flow control and sedimentation pond that will serve the entire development, a patio with a gas grill will be provided for the residents and their guests. The pond occupies the remainder of the east boundary of our site. The final landscape plan for the site will be developed and detailed a<.; the project proceeds and we have the opportunity to meet with our neighbors. All landscaped meas will be inigated. Our refuse containers will be located in a tra<.;h service area within the building. We are proposing to provide 16 parking spaces, 12 which me van accessible handicapped spaces, and prove an additional 4 spaces on our site. It is our experience that few of the residences ,vill have the ability to drive and mvn a specially fitted van. In no case have more than 40% of our residents owned vans or automobiles. The 12 handicap spaces ,ve have proposed exceed this experience. The 4 regulm spaces will, in our experience, meet the needs of the resident caretaker, staff and visitors. Over time and in response to demand, unused handicap spaces may be restriped for regular use, and / or the 4 proven spaces can be paved. C. Roselawn Village Commercial draft 12i21!Ol 2
