Board asks for stronger color contrast and more stone on garages for Eagledale Townhomes

During discussion on the Eagledale Townhomes, several board members expressed concern that the three proposed color schemes were too similar to one another and might present a monotonous appearance along rows of homes.

One committee member told the applicant, "I just would like to see more of a difference in color schemes between definitely between a and b," arguing that greater contrast or a darker/lighter option would make the palettes read as distinct when viewed along a street. Applicant Rich Brown said the team could increase contrast and was open to adjusting scheme B to provide clearer differentiation.

The board added a site‑specific condition requiring revised elevations for the color schemes so at least one palette offers noticeably more contrast; staff and one DRB member will approve the final selection. The board also required revised elevations to show additional stone around some garage doors, with placement sequencing to be proposed by the applicant and approved by staff and one DRB member.
