DESIGN REVIEW BOARD
WOLF PEN CREEK DESIGN DISTRICT
STAFF REPORT
Project Manager: Jason Schubert, AICP, Staff Planner Report Date: May 16, 2008
E -mail: jschubert@cstx.gov Meeting Date: May 23, 2008
For
THE LOFTS AT WOLF PEN CREEK (SDSP)
Location: 614 Holleman Drive East, SW corner of Holleman Dr and Dartmouth St intersection
Applicant: Natalie Ruiz, IPS Group
Item: Presentation, possible action and discussion on a revised site plan, landscape plan and
building elevations for The Lofts at Wolf Pen Creek, a mixed -use development consisting of
8.34 acres, located at 614 Holleman Drive East in the Wolf Pen Creek District.
Administrator Recommendations: Staff recommends approval of the site plan, landscape
plan, and building elevations.
Item Summary: The applicant is proposing revisions to this mixed -use development located at
the southwest corner of Holleman Drive and Dartmouth Street. The project was considered by
the Design Review Board on November 15, 2007 and received approval with the condition that
the construction and other engineering documents be approved. As you recall, the project
consists of approximately 9,000 square feet of retail /restaurant use and a 264 -unit multi - family
development with associated private clubhouse and parking garage. Manuel Drive is being
extended through to Dartmouth Street as a part of the project.
The site plan and landscape plan meet all technical standards of the Unified Development
Ordinance. The applicant has provided a letter describing the revisions to the building
elevations. Those items and the other site revisions are detailed below and are for the Design
Review Board's consideration:
Issues /Items for Review:
1. Relationship of buildings to site: The orientation of the buildings remain the same with retail
uses facing the intersection of Holleman Dr. and Dartmouth St., the parking garage at the
rear toward the western property line and multi - family buildings located throughout the site
with four -story buildings located on the main site and with two -story townhome -style units
located south of Manuel Dr. The retaining wall that bisected the main buildings of the site is
now proposed north of Manuel Dr. with a 4 -foot wrought iron fence on top of it.
2. Building design: In general, the buildings are a combination of brick, stucco, and fiber
cement siding materials. The elevations for the main corner (Building 3) and the townhome-
style units south of Manuel Dr. (Buildings 8 & 9) remain the same as previously considered.
As described in the letter, the brick veneer on the remaining buildings has been replaced
with stucco on the elevations facing Holleman Dr., Dartmouth St., and Manuel Dr. For the
other elevations, the brick veneer and stucco has been replaced with fiber cement siding. In
addition, the garage was originally steel construction with stucco panels on the exterior but
is now proposed as concrete construction painted the stucco color.
3
3. Miscellaneous structures and street hardware: A pedestrian plaza area with a water feature
is proposed at the Holleman Dr. and Dartmouth St. intersection. The plaza and commercial
parking area along Holleman Dr. is now proposed with stamped and colored concrete
instead of pavers. As a reminder, the additional improvements shown in the right -of -way are
not required for the site plan but are shown for illustration and will require a Private
Improvement in a Public Right -of -Way (PIP) permit to be installed.
Item Background: The subject property received a Conditional Use Permit from the City
Council on February 8, 2007, which allows multi - family on the first floor with the condition that at
least 9,000 square feet of retail /restaurant use be provided. This site plan is in compliance with
the Concept Plan that was approved with the Conditional Use Permit at Council.
The subject property received a 9 -foot height variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment on
April 3, 2007. The request was necessary due to the height of the parking garage in relation to
the adjacent single family lots along Crest St. The building permit submitted for the parking
garage is within the height restrictions allowed through the variance.
The subject property received an Administrative Adjustment on November 8, 2007 of 1.5 feet for
the front setback along Dartmouth St. so that the proposed buildings meet setback
requirements.
A waiver and an appeal were granted by the Design Review Board when this item was initially
considered on November 15, 2007. A waiver to UDO Section 7.2.0 Dimensions and Access
was granted to eliminate the requirement to have double landscape islands for the parking
along Holleman Dr. so as not to detract from the proposed urban style plaza in front of the retail
uses. An appeal to UDO Section 7.6.F Minimum Buffer Standards was granted to allow a 6 -foot
buffer yard width as an alternative to the required 10 -foot width. The applicant had initially
proposed a 10 -foot buffer yard but engineering staff required the proposed retaining wall to be
moved closer to that property line to allow adequate maintenance area for the nearby water line.

Apartment Elevation Changes
Jon A. Prefean, NCARB
Partner
Dear Mr. Schubert:
Larry P. Santch
This letter Is in response to your recent conversations with Natalie Ruiz of the IPS Group as well as Mark Partner
Lindley with Asset Plus Companies regarding changes to the exterior building elevations of the above
referenced project. Changes outlined below:
Apartments (Buildings #1 thru #7) - As noted by both Natalie and Mark, the material and color
palettes are largely unaffected by the elevation revisions in question. The principal exterior materials
remain brick veneer and exterior stucco as was illustrated in our original DRB presentation elevations
dated 10/8/07. The thrust of the changes at the apartments are:
• Replace brick veneer with exterior stucco in many locations at "public" elevations facing
Dartmouth, Holleman and Manuel Drive.
• Add horizontal fiber cement siding at ''non-public* exterior elevations / courtyard elevations
• Add sloped composition shingle roof in place of a flat roof at all buildings except Building #3.
Apartments (Buildings 88 & 89) — These elevations remain unchanged.
Retail Facade - The materials / colors at and above the retail and clubhouse spaces have not been
revised. The materials as noted in Elevations 'A' thru 'C' on the exhibit dated 10/8/07 still apply.
Garage - As illustrated in the approved garage permit drawings, the garage has been redesigned from
steel to cast in place concrete. The stucco panels at each level have been replaced with horizontal
barrier cables. The overall height of the garage remains within the variance previously granted.
(See 1/G1.02 within the approved Permit Re- submittal drawings dated 3/14/08)
In our professional opinion, the revisions described above do not adversely affect the quality of the Job with
respect to architecture or its relation to the Wolf Pen Creek district. Remaining sensitive to the original
massing, the new sloped composition shingle roof has been provided at a relatively low slope angle of 4:12
in order to preserve the original feel of the elevations, and the above described material changes maintain
brick and stucco on the "public" face of the buildings.
I hope our explanation sheds some tight on what in our opinion is the minor nature of these changes with
regard to the project's relation to the Wolf Pen Creek district. Feel free to set up further discussions through
Naatalie's office if you should require additional explanation.
Sincerely,
Meeks + Partners
Keith Malone, RA, NCARB
