Please work within the horizontal layout previously approved. Steeper slopes may be permitted on the driveway (6-8%) as long as adequate visiblity of pedestrians is maintained. Other suggestions for working on the driveway include notching up the building structure over the driveway to attain more headroom and adding a Floodgate to keep storm Flows from entering the garage. As stated in the meeting by Stormwater, do your best to keep as much Flow as possible in the gutter. Number: 132 Created: 9/22/2003 Since the proposed drive -over curb and gutter does not match a standard detail, please submit a detail drawing and variance request.

Advanced Plannin Site Plan 66 Regarding sidewalks and pedestrian connections along Canyon. We recognize that the pedestrian has to walk along an attached sidewalk for a short distance due to the curb bulges and large existing Ash tree. However, we feel that the primary pedestrian experience is enhanced along the building. Here is opportunity for artwork, special paving, planters, etc. The Tower" level (T walk) was intended for people to get from the diagonally parked cars to the building without having to go through a landscape area. In addition, there are several existing trees that prevent a continuous connection along the `lower" level. Current Planning Site Plan 67 A modification request is being submitted with the revisions. 68 We have provided additional information. 69 We had requested an Alternative Compliance to Section 3.2.1(E)(4)(a) and (b) for the perimeter landscaping requirements for the small parking lot. Since trees, shrubs or irrigation above the parking structure are prohibited, we proposed screening with a 6-foot solid cedar fence and landscape cobble. The LUC requires the parking lot be screened from residential uses by a 6-foot fence. The Ash and Siberian Elm trees along the west end of the Linden Press parking lot are to be removed. Engineering: Building Elevations 11 The architectural elevations have been revised to reflect the current grading.
