THE KNOLLS AT SOLANA
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND DESCRIPTION
PROPOSED PLANNING DISTRICT 6
TOWN OF WESTLAKE
This document is intended to be a summary of the key development terms and principles proposed for
the development of The Knolls at Solana, a 62.5 acre land parcel that fronts on Solana Boulevard and is
located between the Granada residential community and Sam School Road.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Developer: Wilbow Corporation, Inc. (www.wilbow.com)
Community: Gated enclave of 61 custom villa homes walkable to the Solana Urban Center
and Larry North Fitness
Product Type: Luxury Custom Villa Homes (3,000 to 5,000 square feet)
1 and 2 story massing, 3-car garages
Higher security and lower maintenance typologies
Home Pricing: Estimated to be$1.2 to $1.7 million
Sales Program: Lot sales to local custom home builders with a limited offering to individuals
Access: Two entrances from Solana Boulevard located at existing median cuts
Community
Amenities: Private internal trail network with connections to the Solana Boulevard and
Dove Road public Trails
Community Fencing: The community's Solana Boulevard frontage will have a decorative metal picket
fence and entry gates with optional masonry columns and/or panels where
screening is necessary on the Solana Boulevard frontage. The fence shall be
located at the boundary of the 100' Solana Boulevard buffer and the
development zone. In addition, all individual lot line fences adjacent to the
buffer and common areas shall be limited to decorative metal pickets so as to
create a more transparent view in the undeveloped forest land. The primary
goal for the fencing is to effectively disappear and allow the natural forest land
setting to be open to view from all perspectives.
PD 1-1-10%
Coverage Test: Based on an assumption of 61 homes all at the maximum footprint of 5,000 sf,
less an allowance of 850 sf for 3-car garages and 200 sf for a covered patio, or
3,950 sf,the project is estimated to have total cumulative coverage of 240,950
sf against a total land area of approximately 2,722,500 square feet, or 8.85%
1
coverage. It is understood that Blackstone/EOP and the other land owners in
PD 1-1 are committed to a cumulative test across PD 1-1 that the coverage will
not exceed 10%.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION
Home Owner
Association: The community will be governed by a to-be-established Homeowner's
Association ("HOA")that will be responsible for common area maintenance,
private street maintenance,front yard maintenance and enforcing the Design
Guidelines for the community.
Home Builders: An Approved Home Builder program will be established with specific criteria
that will limit home building to only approved custom home builders
Design Guidelines: A detailed Design Guideline document has been submitted to the Town that will
follow the examples set by Vaquero and Granada to ensure a high quality of
design and construction of all homes.
Architectural Review: An Architectural Control Committee ("ACC")will be established through the
HOA/Declarant that has approval authority over house designs prior to
submittal for permitting.
LOT SPECIFICATIONS
Lot Density: 61 residential lots measuring at least 10,000 square feet in area (approximately
80'x 135') or less than 1 lot per gross acre. A Concept Plan is attached for
reference.
Lot Size: Minimum lot size is 10,000 sf
Minimum lot width (measured at the standard front setback line):
• 80'for standard lots
• 40'for lots on cul-de-sacs and elbows
Lots on cul-de-sacs and elbows shall have a minimum 30'frontage along the
property line/ROW.
Lot Coverage: The maximum footprint for a home shall be limited to (i) the lesser of 47%of
the entire lot area, or 5,000 sf for a 1-story home and (ii) the lesser of 43%, or
4,500 sf for a 2-story residence. On certain larger lots, 2-story residences may
have a maximum footprint of 5,000 sf. Footprint is defined as all areas that are
contained within the ground floor air-conditioned space, garages and covered
patios of the main residence (excludes open porches, patios, porte-cocheres, or
other unenclosed areas and accessory buildings).
2
HOUSE SPECIFICATIONS
Minimum Size: All residences shall be a minimum of 3,000 sf of air-conditioned living space.
Massing: For 2-story structures, the 2"d story shall not exceed 50%of the 1St floor
footprint.
Building Height: The maximum height of 2-story structures shall be two and one-half stories or
28 feet measured to the mid-point of the highest sloping roof above existing
grade. Certain lots have been designated as being limited to a one-story
building height, or 18 feet measured to the mid-poiont of the highest sloping
roof above existing grade.
Building Setbacks: Given the relative size of the proposed lots, the following setbacks are
proposed:
Front: 30 feet at the standard front setback line
(20 feet on cul-de-sac and elbow lots)
Rear: 20 feet
Side: 10 feet
A 10' encroachment in the standard front setback is permissible for up to 26' of
width of the residence (please see the Lot Dimension exhibits).
Garages: Every house shall have a minimum of three (3) enclosed parking spaces. Garage
doors shall be made of sectional wood, or be wood clad, or glass and steel.
Garage doors shall be recessed a minimum of six inches from the plane of the
adjacent wall. Front facing garage doors are allowed if located further back on
the lot than the side-facing garage portion, and are in a motor court setting.
Roofs: Roofing materials where visible shall be limited to concrete or clay tile, slate, or
standing seam metal. No more than two houses on adjacent lots, fronting on
the same street, may have the same type and color roof material.
Exterior Walls: Exterior walls shall have horizontal and vertical articulation or architectural
delineation on all elevations.
Landscaping: Landscape beds (including gravel mulch) shall be located along the foundation
line of all structures, except where paving is adjacent to the structure, and must
extend away from the foundation a minimum of five feet.
Fences: All homes shall have a back fence comprised of metal picket. Privacy fences
comprised of metal picket shall be permitted only on interior side lot lines to
provide privacy to outdoor patio and pool areas.
Exterior Lighting: All exterior lighting shall be subdued, indirect, and comply with Town
ordinances as well as follow Dark Skies Design Guidelines.
3
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE
Open Space: Per the Westlake Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan, approximately
33 acres of the 62.5 acres subject site is designated as open space and/or
community park. Per the proposed development plan, approximately 40.8 acres
or 65.3%of the gross acreage is set aside as open space or park dedication area.
Further, as part of the Tree Mitigation Plan and Parkland Dedication
requirement (please see below), approximately 35.6 acres of the open space is
proposed to be donated to the Town (or its designee). As part of the donation,
there would be requirements for the following:
• Public Trail Easement
• Private Road Easements (2)
• Public and Private Utility Easement
• Storm Water Detention Easement
• Temporary Construction Easement
• Landscape Easement
Parkland
Dedication: In accordance with Section 82-389 (a) (1) of the Code of Ordinances regarding
Land Dedication Requirements for Residential Developments, "Park and
recreational areas ... shall be dedicated to the town at a ratio of one acre of park
land for every 30 residential dwelling units or prorated portion thereof."
Accordingly,the proposed 61 lot density would result in a parkland dedication
area of approximately 2.03 acres. As discussed above, approximately 35.6 acres
of open space is proposed to be donated to the Town (or its designee)to satisfy
both the Parkland Dedication and Tree Mitigation requirements.
STREETS, PARKING, SIDEWALKS,TRAILS
Streets: All community streets shall be private and constructed of asphalt with concrete
outer bands and/or mountable curbs fronting the lots. Proposed that the
streets be no less than 27' in width (back to back) including a mountable
concrete curb on both sides within a 30' ROW (please see the Lot Dimension
exhibits).
Visitor Parking: To minimize on-street parking and improve emergency access, a minimum of
one (1)visitor parking space shall be provided for every two (2) homes and the
spaces are generally dispersed across the community.
Street Lights: Street lighting shall be located at all corners and intersections. Lights shall be
low pedestal type fixtures that comply with Town ordinances as well as follow
Dark Skies Design Guidelines.
Sidewalks: A variance to the Code of Ordinances is requested to allow for a single sidewalk
on one side of the main spine road (sidewalks are normally required on both
4
sides of a roadway for lots of 12,000 square feet or less) within the
development, in the general location shown on the Concept Plan. Sidewalk
width inside the community will be a minimum of 5'. All sidewalks shall be
made of concrete, stone, or pavestone.
Trail System: The internal sidewalk will tie into the Solana Boulevard public Town Trail via
gated connections at both entries. Any public trail construction (outside of the
community) will be a minimum of 6' in width, other than the connections to the
internal sidewalk which shall be a minimum of 5' in width (all identified public
trails can be seen on the Concept Plan). The portion of the Solana Boulevard
public Trail that fronts on the project will be maintained with the existing
decomposed granite.
UTILITIES
Water: Town of Westlake
Sewer: Town of Westlake
Storm Water: Combination of bio-swales, detention pond(s), and connection to the existing
public street storm water system
Duct Bank: A Duct Bank system shall be installed by the Developer throughout the
subdivision as required by Town ordinances. The home builder shall tie into the
Duct Bank prior to the Final Inspections or Certificate of Occupancy approval.
Development
Setbacks: The development plan calls for a concentrated development envelope of
approximately 21.7 acres generally centered within the 62.5 acre parcel. Along
the Solana Boulevard ROW, a 100' setback is planned. Within the setback, there
is likely to be a public utility easement for storm water detention and utility
connections.
On the property's western (Granada) border, a 150' setback is planned. On the
southern border(generally Glenwyck),there will be a varied setback ranging
from 150'to over 400' with the majority of the setback set at 300' or more.
The eastern portion of the property("Mayor's Hill")to the Sam School Road
frontage is not planned to be developed as included in the plan as open space to
be donated to the Town (or its designee).

TREE MITIGATION
Tree Survey: A tree survey of the site was conducted by Kimley Horn in November 2016
through a sampling process approved by Town Staff whereby 10 pre-
determined, evenly-spaced, 0.1 acre plots were surveyed. All trees 6-inches in
diameter and greater were tagged and counted. DBH ("Diameter Breast
Height")was measured according to City of Westlake ordinances.
The results of the survey determined that there were approximately 105
Protected Trees per acre on the East Side of the sample area, and approximately
162 Protected Trees per acre on the West side of the sample area.
Tree Mitigation: The development plan has been carefully designed to minimize grade and tree
disturbance other than for the creation of the private street and utility systems,
and a designated building envelope for each lot. On each lot,the developer, lot
owner, and home builder will only be allowed to remove trees in the designated
building envelope and designated driveway area. In the side setbacks, any tree
over 9 inches in diameter must be pre-approved for removal by the Town.
Further, builders will be encouraged to use a "floating post-tension steel
concrete slab foundation"to allow for minimal impact to tree root systems near
each building envelope.
A tree mitigation plan is also proposed based on the following initiatives:
• Replanting requirements in the common areas and street ROW'S through a
formula of caliper inches of approved hardwood trees, or per 30 linear feet
of street frontage of the common area
• Each lot shall plant at least two 3.5" caliper trees from an approved
hardwood tree list. If existing native trees are preserved in the front or
street-side side yards,they can be utilized to satisfy the tree planting
requirement on the lot.
• Donation of approximately 35.6 acres of open space to the Town (or its
designee) including an area to be designated as a 100%wildlife natural
preserve (non-disturbance classification). This land area encompasses the
setback areas that border on Granada, Glenwyck Farms, and Solana
Boulevard.The "Mayor's Hill" land area may be improved at the Town's
discretion.
• Planting of pine trees in the portion of the Solana Boulevard median that
fronts the project, in a configuration and size consistent with the proposed
Entrada program
• Environmental enhancements that may include the following:
o Investigating rainwater collection systems that would be
encouraged on each home to create a first source irrigation option
o Where possible, bio-swale installation to reduce storm water runoff
Any additional tree disturbance by a lot owner beyond the designated building
envelope (and designated driveway area)will require further tree mitigation
based on either a compensating payment based on a $100 per caliper inch
6
formula for protected trees approved for removal by the Town, or replacement
tree planting equal to the tree loss.

The Knolls at Solana
Public Art Proposal
August 2017
Wilbow Corporation is a great believer in public art. Our founder,William Bowness, has a keen interest
in art and has amassed one of the largest collections of Australian art that exists today.
With the Town of Westlake's renewed commitment to a community public art program, being led by
Robin McCaffery of Mesa Design, Wilbow would like for The Knolls at Solana to be an early participant in
the public art program.
Wilbow proposes the following terms:
Donation: Wilbow will make a contribution of$10,000 for public art to the Town of
Westlake to be designated toward an outdoor sculpture. Wilbow would
welcome matching funds to the extent they are available.
Location: At a location within the boundaries of the 62.5 acre parcel, to be selected by
either the Town of Westlake Public Art Committee or by Town Council. Wilbow
recommends a location in the public-access area of the open space near the
Sam School frontage.
Competition: Wilbow encourages the concept of a public art competition. The competition
should be managed by the Town of Westlake Public Art Committee.
Maintenance: To the extent the final artwork will require maintenance, Wilbow recommends
the Homeowners Association ("HOA") associated with The Knolls at Solana be
required to fund and provide maintenance.
Timing: Based on the current development schedule, it is expected that home
construction at The Knolls at Solana will commence in early 2019 with first
residents expected in late 2019, early 2020. Ideally,the artwork would be
complete and installed by the end of 2019. Wilbow funding would occur at time
of land development commencement.
