Background
The 2-acre property located at 5659 N Superstition Lane currently contains a 7,300 ft² residential home that started a major remodel in 2015. According to the Maricopa County Assessor’s website, the property changed owners in 2017. The new applicant has come forward with changes to the hardscape, landscape, and exterior additions of the home.
Hardscape
Integral color concrete with 3/8” exposed aggregate has been proposed for the driveway leading up to detached garage. Pavers are proposed for the remaining driveway surface from the detached garage up to the residence. Tiles will be used for various surfaces around the residence. Two fine granular paths are proposed are also proposed as short walking paths. All material shall be an LRV of 38 or less.
Fence and Gates
A fence longer than what was originally approved by the Hillside Building Committee in 2016 has been proposed. The fence will extend past the pool area into the new pad at the northeast disturbed area. A driveway gate and fence has been proposed near the detached garage. Gates and fencing are located throughout the property. A metal gated enclosed, south of the attached garage, will be used for trash and recycling bins. All material shall be an LRV of 38 or less.
Landscaping
Midiron sod is proposed for the area east of the residence. Native desert vegetation is proposed throughout the property.
Landscape Lighting
All proposed landscape lighting will have a maximum color temperature of 3000K. The applicant has proposed the addition of ten (10) path lights with 125 lumens (250 lumens allowable), thirty-two (32) up lights (26 allowable) with 135 lumens (150 lumens allowable), twenty (20) down lights with 55 lumens max (250 lumens allowable), twenty-six (26) in-grade lights with 79 lumens (250 lumens allowable), and six (6) wall/step lights with 39 lumens (250 lumens allowable).
Water Feature
A new water feature in place of a previously approved koi pond has been proposed at the entrance of the residence.
Land Disturbance
Rock cuts larger than those previously approved by the Hillside Building Committee in 2016 were created on the east and southern ends of the property. A new pad was created on the northwest portion of the proposed disturbed area. The new land disturbances have been included in the disturbance calculations and a site change exhibit has been provided.
Drainage
Onsite drainage has been installed and will follow the Town’s previous stormwater requirements. A majority of the stormwater will be taken offsite by a series of underground pipes. Runoff from the southern property will be captured by retaining walls and will enter storm drains.
