Page 3 of 4 Wabash Crossing Homeownership PUD Amendment June 3, 2004 8. Staff proposes a set of guidelines that will insure quality exteriors and variety in the streetscape. These guidelines (see below)require the houses that face a park to adhere to the "Level 3: Enhanced" guidelines in the Architectural Variation Index from the Near North Redevelopment Plan and Guidelines (see attached). Houses that face residential streets (mostly on Leafland and Warren) follow the guidelines for"Leve14: Pronounced;"however, staff recommends that only two of the exterior conditions need to be met for these houses. 9.

These options may not be offered on the same level as interior options (in other words, a buyer may not be forced to choose between, for example, a porch and a dishwasher). Also included are guidelines for landscaping, screening of utilities and trash areas, and fencing. STAFF RECOMMENDATION 10.
