Power exists in the alley. The electric vault shown on the the northwest corner of Terracon's lot will

service to 5 lots surrounding this project. It is possible that we could size the transformer for this lot to

adjacent to sites, structure, objects or districts that: (a) have been deter -mined to be or potentially be
individually eligible for local landmark designation or for individual listing in the National Register of
Historic Places or the State Register of Historic Properties, or (b) are officially designated as a local or

08/21/2014 08/21/2014: The proposed modification of standard is justified as equal -to or better -than a plan
that
complies with the required 5' setback [3.2.2(J)]becasue of the "vine -covered fence" as a buffer. A
buffer is required regardless per Section 3.2.1 (E) (6). Staff recommends that trees are
planted in grates along the property line to provide a more substantial buffer per Section
3.5.1 (H) requiring transition between land uses, and Section 3.5.1 (E) requiring a buffer
between land uses.

08/21/2014: Stucco is not a permitted material in the Downtown District - Civic Center Subdistrict. Per
Section 4.16 (D) (e) "All street -facing facades shall be constructed of high quality exterior materials for
the full height of the building. Such materials, with the exception of glazing, shall include stone, brick,
clay units, terra cotta, architectural pre -cast concrete, cast stone, prefabricated brick panels,
architectural metals or any combination thereof." Also, the stucco creates too large modules on any
side of the building. Per Section 4.16 (D) (e), "Except for windows, material modules shall not exceed
either five (5) feet horizontally or three (3) feet vertically without the clear expression of a joint."
