2.5 Massing
Elements to consider:
1) Visual character of the design
2) Variety in massing
3) Plan and proportion relative to height and layout
4) Roof pitch
5) Landscaping enhancing elements, e.g., integration with landscaping
and topography 6) Materials, variety, and proportions. Flat roofs
will not be permitted over living spaces unless used as a deck
or balcony, or where incorporated into rear design above basement
walkout development.
2.6 Consistency
Elevations of all buildings must demonstrate consistent
treatment of exterior materials, window details, and reveals. Details
in the roofline must be carried around from the front elevation.
2.7 Finish Materials and Colours
- Colours shall be based on natural environment
earth tones with
consistent body and trim colours.
- Exterior colour selection will affect
the visual impact substantially and
a colour board with swatches indicating location to be applied
must
be submitted to the Developer for approval.
- Bright colours are discouraged.
- Roof materials and colours may be repeated
from lot to lot.
- Body colours must not be repeated more
than 5 houses.
- Stone where applicable, concrete, or
heavy wood details are to be
consistent with house trim and detail. Stone should be terminated
at a
wall or window or other architectural detail. Cultured stone
may also
be used.
Although the use of stone as a base material
is encouraged, the Developer will consider designs not incorporating
stone so long as there are stone elements elsewhere in the design
(i.e., furnace and fireplace chase, columns, and/or landscape
retaining walls). The sighting and exposure of the house will
often suggest where the stone will have the greatest impact.
Stone should have relief elements and can be used to step up
to entries or focal points.
Other masonry products may be approved on a house-by-house
basis. Vinyl or metal siding will not be permitted under any
circumstance. Exposed concrete foundation walls shall not exceed
.5 meter high.
2.8 Stucco
Stucco finish will be acrylic or elastomeric
finish with a flat, worm or sand surface texture. Earth tone
colours are strongly encouraged, or colours ranging in the darker
shades.
Stucco must be accented with wood or timber elements.
Wood must be sealed on all sides before installation. Stucco
or concrete window battens may be acceptable and will be reviewed
on an individual basis. Stucco metal stop must be painted to
match.
2.9 Siding/Shakes/Shingles
In keeping with the mountain style endorsed by
Canyon Ridge, shakes and shingles are acceptable wall cladding
materials; these must be sealed or treated prior to installation.
In situations where horizontal siding is used on a two or more
story elevation, this element must terminate at no more than
two-thirds of the total wall height, typically at the base of
the upper windows or as the design dictates. Above this, vertical
siding shakes or shingles should be introduced. Full height vertical
siding is discouraged and should be broken up as above.
