6. REQEUST: The garage, if front loading, shall comprise no more than 30% of the
front facade.
ANSWER: This architectural standard is probably meant for 90 ft. and wider lots. A
22 ft. wide garage would be 30% of a 73 ft. wide home, while a 24 ft. garage would be
30% of an 80 ft. wide home. The Trillium lots are primary 70 ft. wide and with side
yard setbacks, only allow for a 50 ft. ± home. Also, the home plan examples proposed
for Trillium have been approved by the City of Carmel’s Common Council.
7. REQUEST: If a material such as brick or stone is used on the front facade but not the
side facades, a logical transition with trim, such as quoins, shall be provided.
ANSWER: The recorded commitments for Trillium state that all homes will be full
brick wrap.
