Member Basken asked for confirmation on the pop outs for the side elevations.  Ms. Berchtold confirmed it was a previous issue with the HOA that pop outs were be placed on all buildings.  

Mr. Eggerding stated the closeness of the homes would preclude any treatment of the side architecturally.  Ms. Berchtold responded that was discussed and found the pop outs were adequate.

Councilmember Solomon communicated that one of the main issues of the architecture standards was four sided architecture and it is very important for the Board to consider what is acceptable on four sided architecture.
