review, and revisions to the project details since the last review. He also explained the tentative
approval granted by the ARC at its meeting on March 21, 2022, and that the ARC is being
asked to confirm whether the revisions to the project were consistent with that approval and the
Village Design Guidelines.
Jennifer Martin, project architect, spoke in support of the project and summarized the latest
revisions.
The Committee was supportive of the three revisions requested as part of the tentative
approval. Grizzle Grey, the dark gray chosen for the trellises, water features, planters, and

and accents.
