Subject: Meeting Today with Neighbors
The meeting today with three folks from the neighborhood went well. We focused primarily on the Compatibility
section of their letter. The cross-section provided this morning was very helpful. Here are the primary topics that
remain to be addressed:
More cultured stone along the street -facing elevations. Consider going higher up on the elevation to the
bottom of the second floor.
On Tract A, for the three-story building in the northwest corner across from Lots 174 and 175, consider dropping
the end of the building to two stories. A cross-section here may be needed.
Speaking of the cross-section, they agreed that trees planted on top of the wall would be more effective than at
the base.
For the Tract Z path connection, they were open to any good idea that makes sense. No objections to keeping
the trees and turf and installing a soft path. They want to participate in coming up with a creative solution.
They very much would like a trail connection to the southeast to connect to their H.O.A. trail. I cautioned that
grade would be a challenge and they understood. Maybe a long approach with H-accessible grade versus
switchbacks would look better.
The more landscaping along the west and south buffer yards the better.
They want a set of the revisions which I can provide. Your routing already calls for an extra set for neighbors.
They very much appreciate the new siding material and the new driveway cut Triangle.
They are O.K. with a note on the plans that trash removal be restricted to business hours only (8 — 5 Mon. — Fri.
no weekends).
The one item that did not come up was that of a new, dev per -installed imeter fence. I will assume, then,
that the existing fences are deemed satisfactory. \
