Troy -
You requested and reminder for your meeting this afternoon, so here you go.
Please present our questions and concerns regarding the true needs along
the Mason Street frontage of the Garth Commercial Plaza site - specifically
in regards to the pedestrian walk, treelawn, and potential right-of-way
issue. As we discussed last week, the applicant recognizes the need for a
walk and some landscaping along Mason Street - but is very concerned about
the impact of some of the various requests of the city on the site plan.
His first, and strongest, preference is to continue the existing condition
along Mason Street, with an attached walk, and additional landscaped area
between the sidewalk and parking area.
=1f the walk being attached is a huge stumbling block for staff, we'd like
to concur with the solution includinq all the area between the curb_�ne
and t right-of-way_ ine as.___ elawn and install a 6' walk in a public
access, easement along the eastern boundary of the site.
-Any additional right-of-way required along Mason Street will devastate the
site planning and building size of this project, and may cause an
indefinite delay.
While reviewing this issue, we'd like staff to keep in mind that this is a
relatively small inf ill development along a largely developed Mason Street.
Our proposal will improve upon the existing architecture and landscaping
along this corridor, while attempting to fit into the context of existing
development.
If anyone at the meeting has questions or concerns they'd like to discuss
with me, please feel free to have them contact me.
Thanks, Troy. Let me know the outcome of the meeting, when you get the
chance.
