There are 85 lots on Churchill Lane and 6 floor plans,
with 18 different color packages. Each model has several
elevations, totaling 28, featuring fiberglas shingles and
brick, stone or cedar siding. No aluminum except for the
gutters. One elevation of each model will be frozen and
it is called "the brick" elevation with brick all the way
around. Windows are all wood, with colonial grills on

agreed.
Plan 3200 C - Ch. Larsen requested the brick quoin
treatment at the corners of the garage be repeated at
the other corners. _
APPEARANCE COMMISSION
August 11 , 1988 - Page Six
Mr. MeyLI proposed a compromise and greed to add the
quoin to the outside corner of the porch post.
Plan 3600 A also has the quoins and Ch. Larsen asked that
it be repeated at the outer column of the 3-car garage.
Plan 3100 A and C - Ch. Larsen questioned the use of the
arches over some of the garage doors, and the A window.
Mr. Meyer responded that the arches give some shadow
lines and is a detail feature that gives flexibility to
the design packages.
Ch. Larsen commented that the many different elevations
represents semi-custom homes, such as the Jacobs homes.
Mr. Meyer said they want to give buyers very structured
options, both interior and exterior, without changing the
basic walls, etc. They are not a custom builder.

Mr. Matt suggest that the buyers be made k re of this
because the Builng Department often gets ctlls from
residents asking if inferior paint has been used, etc.
because they do not realize that this is the desired
effect.

package board that lists "translucent stain" to inform
buyers. The sales staff can also inform buyers of this
type of stain.

Business Park signage. He suggested combining signage.
Mr. Beechick said he realized there needs to be more about
this signage and added that he does not oppose a combined
sign, but Hilton does. If this cannot be accomplished,
then one of the businesses would have to apply for a
variance.

signs only.
