Northwest Contemporary with elements of the craftsman style outlined in the EASD Book. The
craftsman elements include exposed trusses, sloped roof lines, and the use of wood and stone for
exterior materials. The applicant is proposing to utilize high quality materials that are indigenous
to the area and the proposed architecture and materials will add character and charm that already
exists in the community. Through the use of materials and building undulation, the proportion of
the building is appropriately scaled in relationship with the surrounding area. Staff defers
comment regarding the architectural style, materials, and colors to the Design Review Board.
• The trash enclosure is proposed to be located at the northwest corner of the site. Landscaping is
proposed on the east and north elevations of the enclosure but not on the west elevation. Pursuant

public street right of way, are required to be screened from view by a five foot (5') wide by six
foot (6') high landscaped buffer. The applicant should be required to provide a revised landscape

site dividing the drive aisle located west of the parking spaces on the shared property line of this
property and the property to the west. The applicant should be required to provide a revised site
plan showing the drive aisle located west of the western most parking spaces on the hotel site to
be constructed a full twenty-four feet (24') in width on the shared property line. The applicant

Page 6 of 13
K:\Planning Dept\Itagle Applications\Dr\2018\1)R•01 • I8 Eagle River Homewood Suites ectdocx
the twenty-four foot (24') wide drive aisle to be constructed on their property. The revised site
plan and letter should be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance of a zoning
