Summary

The commission approved final development modification FDM 58 to alter elevations for several home models in the Courtyards at Haines Creek subdivision—changes include removal of porch railings and window orientation adjustments recommended by the city architect.

The Planning Commission approved final development modification FDM 58, which updates architectural elevations for several home styles at the Courtyards at Haines Creek subdivision. Staff (speaker 10) said the city architect reviewed the proposed elevation changes and the applicant revised drawings accordingly to maintain four‑sided architecture and design unity.

Changes include removal of front porch railings on several home types and shifting certain entries from side to front orientation. Applicant representative Kelly Fankhauser (speaker 14) confirmed that some elements shown on elevations are decorative ("fake windows") and will not provide views into neighboring properties.

After brief public clarification from a resident (speaker 17) about the effect of fake windows on sightlines and confirmation from staff that the changes improve compliance with the design guidelines, the commission moved and approved the modification.
