Bret:
This is to continue the dialogue between you and I, and not to create any conflict
between me and any other city departments. Thanks again for the dialogue.
My quick response is that this plan meets the standards for development.
But with these caveats:
1. Determine that this is a full development site in the first place, vs a partial
development site with historic preservation or natural area constraints.
2. 1 have not been able to meet with Ron to discuss the modification to Connecting
Walkway standard 3.5.213. But after comparing the plans with and without the
modification, I support the modification based on the "as good or better" criteria. In fact
I think your preferred plan is a better plan. Call it Plan B, with Plan A being the plan
with the Connecting Walkway and rear driveways. I will follow up with Ron ASAP.
The reasons will be important. Here's mine:
These 3 units don't relate directly to the street in either arrangement, because they are
in a rear lot location facing an "alley" with garages and driveways on the other side.
Thus, an attractive, green front yard street relationship is simply not truly there due to
the parcel size and street layout. It makes sense in this case for the garages and
driveways face each other across the "alley" as in plan B. In plan A the units would
have garages and driveways on both sides.
Directness of the sidewalk connection is the same in both plans. The benefit of
avoiding driveway crossings in plan A, does not justify the extent of extra driveway
paving in this particular situation. [Also, some mitigating details are proposed since the
driveways are sort of in the "front yard" in plan B. These sidewalk details are proposed
to reduce the scale and impact of the concrete and make the front setting more
interesting]. This helps to clinch the position that the plan is as good or better than Plan
A for the purposes of 3.5.2B. (Bret I know you're not at this level of detail yet, but OK
as a next step? See enclosed sketch thing.)

Bret,
Attached is a diagram depicting what Staff would
support as a minimum for this site and to
accommodate your needs as they relate to Land
Use Code provisions. Please note that a number
of modifications will still be required, but feel that
based on this design and ample justification with
a written narrative may support this alternative to
a direct connecting walkway (based on LUC
definitions) and the 200 foot max. distance of
front entrance to a direct connecting walkway to a
street sidewalk system.
If you have any questions, please call me.
