Troy Estates—Talking Points:
1. Pond buffer(landscape plantings). The perimeter will be panted as a wildlife habitat and the
Open Space Plan will be updated as required under the UDO.
2. Path added around the pond to create an amenity. Site plan amended to show the location of
the path.
3. Architecture (regarding the below items we will amend the commitments accordingly and
provide staff a red line version:
a. The commitments will require 50% of the homes to have masonry on the first floor of the
front facade with other homes having masonry to window sill of lowest front window.
b. The commitments will require masonry base wainscot side and rear on all homes.
c. Require 2 windows per floor per facade. Lennar agrees to 2 windows per facade for ranch
homes and 3 per elevation on each facade for 2-story based on the plans on file. If there is
an elevation which does not include 3 windows on a two story 3 will not be required. See
attached elevations.
d. Regarding 6' deep porches. There are a total of 16 home plans proposed by Lennar. Home
plans have between 3 and 5 different exterior facade options. All but one of the home plan
provides at least on exterior facade option which has a minimum 6' front porch. Of the 59
unique elevations only 13 have a porch with less than 6' of depth. Lennar does not want to
sacrifice streetscape diversity by eliminating 13 of the 59 unique elevation options when 15
of the 16 home plans provide options for the buyer who desires a 6' of larger porch. See
attached examples of the porch sizes.
e. Require sidewalk from porch to sidewalk at street. Lennar would prefer not to construct a
sidewalk from the porch to the street as it would encourage on street parking and not
provide a direct connection to the driveway.
f. Where exterior chimney provided require full height masonry chimney. Lennar agrees to
this standard.
g. Request by staff to require front load garage (if provided)to be set back 5'from front of
home. Side or courtyard are required and Lennar agrees to limit the maximum number of
homes with a front load garage to a maximum of 5 with no required 5' offset for the home.
4. Playground equipment provided. See example and location in common area.
5. Please label sign materials. Updated sign exhibit attached.
6. Request to provide side and rear home elevations. See attached.
7. Provide example of front load garage since commitments allow. See item #3(g) above.
8. Provide list of sustainable site or building practices. Lennar will provide a list of site and building
practices they use.
9. Provide Draft copy of Covenants. See attached.
