� Higher density development should be required to include such improvements as masonry exterior, higher window and wall insulation packages, underground parking, more usable open space than normally required, porches, landscaping, underground parking, and amenities packages within each uni� The Greenhouse Village Properties design (by award winning senior building architect ESG) will include high quality materials on both the senior cooperative and the town homes. Specifically, the town homes will be a"craftsman" design, with stone and durable cement board lap and shake siding. Asphalt shingles are proposed for roofing and the soffit and fascia will be protected by a maintenance free materiaL The town homes are to be designed and finished to compliment the senior cooperative. The cooperative will include stone, durable cement fiber board lap siding, shakes and trim, aluminum or vinyl windows and doors. Decks will be provided for a number of the units, but no all units. h� Building design standards should be used which contribute to neighborhood openness, communication, and interaction. The Greenhouse Village Properties proposal is designed to provide its residents internal openness, communication and interaction, while also inviting interaction and communication with the neighboring residential properties. 1� Design and performance standards should provide adequate height and setbacic combinations for situations where taller multi-familyunits are proposed as infill projects adjacent to single family areas. Such infill should be limited to medium density (or lower) projects. The Greenhouse Village Properties proposal is a multi-story (3), high density (20 units/acre) project with 7 town homes. The four-story, 127 unit, Roseville Senior Apartments are located to the west, for which the mass of the cooperative structure is well suited. The single family homes that lie to the east are located at least 150+ feet from the cooperative structure. The 2-1/2 story town homes are to be located next to and across the street from single and two story single family homes. The proposed design will be of a similar height to the homes directly to the east and the parcel will include increased setbacks. 9. Requirefair housingpractices. Disperse types and scale of housing units within the City for all ages, in all stages of the life cycle. Discourage high concent�ations of low and modest cost housing in any portion or neighborhooc� �� Consider senior housing in areas with nearby amenities such as shopping, medical, community and church facilities, and volunteer programs. The Greenhouse Village Properties proposal is designed for seniors (55+) (some of whom will probably be from the surrounding neighborhood) seeking a very specific maintenance free ownership option. Likewise, the town homes will cater to a specific owner seeking maintenance free living that may have children. Parks, shopping, churches are all in close proximity to the site.
