porches to extend into the front setback and comprise a minimum of 25010 of the
width of a building's primary front ade ( not including the garage). Porches for

The Architectural style of the Sound Side development is influenced by the " Coastal
Vernacular" style. The lapped siding, column detailing, and standing seam roof are all
elements of the Coastal Architecture. The roof lines, gables, column details, window
details, lap siding, stonework, and standing seam metal roof all come together to fonn
a pleasing Architectural Style that looks like it belongs on the Florida Coast.
Materials
The ade of the buildings will be cementious siding and stone veneer. The roof is
fa<;
galvanized metal. The style of windows are insulated, single hung, and impact
resistant.
Separation and Buffering of Parking Areas
Instead of one massive parking lot for the development, several smaller parking lots
within the development have been designed. Buffering of the parking areas is
provided through the means of landscaping.
Dwelling Types
Allapartment units are multi-family. The units range from one bedroom to four
bedrooms, see table 2 below for unit breakdown. There are 800/0 ( 160 units) that are
restricted to families whose income is at 600/0 or below of area median income ( AMI).
Under Florida statute, 800/
0 of the units will
always be low-income; therefore, this
number will not change.
The other 200/0 ( 40 unit) are for people who make 600/0 to 120%>of AMI; although, they
are currently priced at 800/0 AMI numbers. Under the Florida statute, everything is
currently priced for low-income families, but this 20Q1> could actually be moderate-
income.
