The site also has an approved Stormwater Management Concept Plan 21383-2003-00. 6. Design Features: The subject DSP is an umbrella architecture approval for single-family detached houses for the Clagett Property. The DSP proposes 28 models to be constructed by the applicant, Toll Brothers, Inc. Of the proposed 28 models, 25 models have been approved with the detailed site plan for Phase I Part 1A, DSP-04088, which is located in the middle of the eastern property of the Clagett project, right after the equestrian center around the main entrance area. The 28 single-family detached models are standard Toll Brothers products in three production lines—Estates, Executive and Points—and are shown in various styles. The 28 single-family detached houses have numerous elevations in different styles such as Brougham, Carolina, Charleston, Chateau, Classic, Colonial, Country Manor, Eastern Shore, Federal, Georgian, Gettysburg, Heritage, Lexington, Manchester, Manor, New England, Options 672, 673 & 674, Provincial, Savannah, Tara, Traditional, Versailles, Victorian, Virginian, Williamsburg elevations; specifically each model has the following elevations: Model Name Proposed Elevations Assateague Colonial, Federal, Provincial Bromley Colonial, Federal, Provincial Brookline Federal, Manor, New England, Provincial Carlton Chateau, Classic, Colonial, Federal, Provincial, Williamsburg Chelsea Colonial, Federal, Georgian, Provincial, Savannah, Williamsburg Chesterfield 2 Chateau, 2 Federal, 2 Heritage, 2 Provincial, 2 Williamsburg Chincoteague Charleston, Manor, Eastern Shore, Victorian Columbia Chateau, Colonial, Federal, Georgian, Gettysburg, Heritage, Manor, Provincial, Savannah, Traditional, Versailles, Virginian, Williamsburg Davidson Federal, Heritage, Savannah, Williamsburg Duke Classic, Colonial, Federal, Lexington, Provincial Elkins Chateau, Colonial, Federal, Georgian, Heritage, Manor, Provincial, Savannah, Versailles, Williamsburg - 4 - DSP-05040 Elkton BDX., Brougham, Colonial, Federal, Georgian, Heritage, Lexington, Manchester, Savannah, Traditional, Versailles, Virginian, Williamsburg Essex Chateau, Federal, Heritage, Manor, Provincial, Versailles, Williamsburg Hampton Chateau, Colonial, Federal, Georgian, Heritage, Lexington, Provincial, Savannah, Traditional, Versailles, Williamsburg Harvard Brougham, Chateau, Classic, Colonial, Federal, Heritage, Lexington, Provincial, Williamsburg Hopewell Brougham, Chateau, Colonial, Federal, Lexington, Provincial, Williamsburg Langley Colonial, Federal, Provincial, Williamsburg Malvern Carolina, Chateau, Classic, Provincial, Versailles, Williamsburg Mansfield Colonial, Federal, Heritage, New England, Provincial, Savannah, Traditional, Williamsburg Monroe Brougham, Classic, Colonial, Federal, Georgian, Heritage, Provincial, Savannah, Traditional, Tara, Versailles, Williamsburg Montclaire Colonial, Federal, New England, Provincial Mt.

The rear and side elevations are finished with standard siding. Each front elevation features a rich roofline and shows various architectural details, such as brick quoined corners, brick arched window with keystone, frieze board with dentil molding, etc. Fifteen single-family detached models have two-car garages, 12 models have two-car garages, and one model has a four-car-garage as a standard feature. The base finished square footage of the single-family detached models varies from 2,400 to 4,955 square feet. Since no specific architectural requirements for both the front and side elevations are prescribed in the Zoning Ordinance, the Urban Design Section recommends two conditions of approval, which were attached to similar projects by the District Council in the past, to ensure a high-quality development for Marlboro Ridge. COMPLIANCE WITH EVALUATION CRITERIA 7. Zoning Ordinance: The DSP application has been reviewed for compliance with the requirements in the R-R Zone, the additional requirements for recreational community development, and the site design guidelines of the Zoning Ordinance: a. The subject application is in accordance with the requirements of Section 27-441(b) of the Zoning Ordinance, which governs development in the residential zones. The single- - 5 - DSP-05040 family detached dwellings are a permitted use in the R-R Zone under the recreational community development provisions (Section 27-444). b. The subject application is an umbrella approval for single-family detached houses without changing any of the approved plans for this site. Therefore, the application is in general accordance with the requirements of Section 27-442, Regulations, those as modified in Section 27-444, and is also in conformance with requirements of Section 27- 444, Recreation Community Development. 8. Conceptual Site Plan CSP-03005: Conceptual Site Plan CSP-03005 was approved by the Planning Board on July 8, 2004, subject to 13 conditions. The District Council affirmed the Planning Board’s decision on November 22, 2004, with two additional conditions attached to the order of approval. None of the conditions of approval is applicable to the review of this umbrella architecture approval for single-family detached houses. 9. Preliminary Plan of Subdivision 4-04080: Preliminary Plan of Subdivision 4-04080 was approved by the Planning Board on October 28, 2004, subject to 32 conditions, of which no condition is applicable to the review of this DSP. 10. Detailed Site Plan DSP-04088: DSP-04088 is a detailed site plan for Phase I, Part A for the Village of Clagett Farm (formerly Clagett Property), which was approved by the Planning Board on July 7, 2005, subject to eight conditions. This approval includes 25 (out of the 28) single- family detached models that are contained in the subject application. None of the eight conditions of approval is specifically related to the review of this umbrella architecture detailed site plan for single-family detached houses. 11. As required by Section 27-285(b), the detailed site plan represents a reasonable alternative for satisfying the site design guidelines of Subtitle 27, Part 3, Division 9, of the Prince George’s County Code without requiring unreasonable cost and without detracting substantially from the utility of the proposed development for its intended use. RECOMMENDATION Based upon the foregoing evaluation, analysis and findings, the Urban Design staff recommends that the Planning Board adopt the findings of this report and APPROVE Detailed Site Plan DSP-05040, Umbrella Residential Architecture for single-family detached houses for Marlboro Ridge (formerly the Clagett Property and the Village of Clagett Farms), subject to the following condition. 1.
