1212712011: 4.9(D)(6)(d) 5ft side setback required if wall height is 18ft. If greater then 18ft there
is an additional foot setback for every 2ft or fraction thereof in height. Wall heights on both
sides exceed 18ft. The building wall height is approximately 33ft on each side both the north
and south therefore the building should be setback 13ft from each side property line. The side
setback is based on the vertical wall height. An eave does not serve to reduce the height of
the wall. The setback modification request is based on eave height, rather than the wall height,
and therefore the request is not accurate.

Different than previously communicated to the applicant the two existing Siberian Elms along
Remington are to be retained for now. The City Forestry Division will manage these two trees
under our street tree management program to provide pruning and replacement as needed
within the schedule of work activities. This will result in the need to provide two more mitigation

01/06/2012:Forestry has further reviewed the use of ornamental Pears as street trees to
maximize on site tree mitigation. To meet the code requirement to use canopy shade trees we
explored possible canopy street trees that could be used at close spacing similar to the pears.
Glenleven Linden is a narrow crown tree that can be planted at 20 feet spacing. The applicant
should use Glenleven Linden or another appropriate canopy tree in place of the pears where
possible to maximize on site mitigation by using a canopy street tree. Lindens would need to
be planted at a minimum of around 20 foot spacing. There appears to be space for 3 lindens
where the 4 pears are now used in the center of the parkway. There appears to be a possible
location for a Linden at the north end and south end of the parkway where pears are shown.
Contact the City Forester to review or meet on site to discuss suggested locations. Pictures
and locations of Glenleven Linden are available.

however indicated that the variance has been revised to reflect subsequent discussions with

01/04/2012: The engineering variance request for the elimination of the utility easement (8')
along the alley and utility easement (16) along Remington Street is considered pending thus
far. The utility coordination meeting for the project held just prior to the POP submittal seemed
to indicate that City utilities (water/sewer, stormwater, light and power) did not appear to have an
objection to the utility easement elimination for both the alley andoemington Street. However

undergrounding of the existing QwesUCentury Link overhead line with the development. Absent
of this, the developer must provide conduit to provide for the future undergrounding of the
QwesUCentury Link overhead line. Verification on whether undergrounding is to occur with the
project, or conduit is provided needs to occur prior to a hearing.

01106/2012:: The large spruce tree shown to be retained on the NE part of the site is very
close to the walls of the building. Construction this close to the tree could cause significant
damage to the roots and crown. From the landscape plan it appears the wall is 7 feet from the
outer bark of the tree. The applicant should contact the City Forester for an on site meeting to
review and discuss construction impact to the tree and design options. Additional tree
protection notes may be required that would be developed after the on site meeting.

0210612013: Acknowledged response in/the comment letter. We may need to coordinate with
Strormwater on the potential impacts from this additional flow to the drainage system (although
per the geotech report, groundwater was found at 23 feet deep below existing grade, which
would seem to indicate that consistent groundwater flows impacting the drainage system is not
likely).
O1/09/2013: With the understanding that the parking garage is no longer part of the project,
might there be basements proposed with the project that would bring up the potential of a
perimeter drain system around the foundation?
01/04/2012: Please provide information regarding what dewatering measures, if any, are
intended for the project for the below ground structure. If a perimeter drain system around the
foundation is proposed, indicate the location on the construction drawings and ensure that such
a system is located outside of right-of-way and any utility easement. How would such a system
release water, would there be eventual backlighting of flows out to the street either from a sump
pump/pit or direct discharge? Show the location of any sump pit on the construction drawings to
ascertain how and where any discharging of flows to the surface would drain. Ideally, flows
would pass through the water quality/quantity ponds rather than directly discharge.
