fixed spaces but the table on the cover sheet states there are only 11. (The
required number of spaces is one space per four units. Of this total, no less

however the aerial apparatus requirement is 30'. Earlier discussions regarding
aerial access vs. high rise provisions took into account good access on the
east side of the building. If this condition is to change, a reassessment may be
warranted. Also verify that the island is not encroaching on an existing

Association) recommends using lighting that has a color temperature of no
more than 3000 Kelvins in order to limit the amount of blue light in the night
environment, as blue light brightens the night sky more than any other color of
light. Both LED and metal halide fixtures contain large amounts of blue light in
their spectrum, and exposure to blue light at night has been shown to harm
human health and endanger wildlife. Please also consider fixtures with dimming

01/06/2016: The roofline does not comply with requirement that commercial
buildings feature a distinctive top such as a sloping roof with overhangs and
brackets, stepped parapets, mansard, faux mansard, or cornice treatments. As
proposed, it appears that compliance relies on the Aluminum Coping. Without
a detail, it is difficult to assess the depth of this building component and how this
feature rises to the level of being a cornice treatment. The top of the building
needs to be further designed in order to comply with the standard. If a cornice
treatment is selected, please provide a detail so that the depth of the cornice

any three -dimensionality. With the exception of the overhang along the east
elevation, and a portion of the north elevation, both limited to the first floor only,
the building lacks shadow lines, reveals, recesses and projections, balconies,
varying parapet heights or step -backs on the upper floors. Staff is concerned
that the building lacks the detail to satisfy the criteria of Section 3.5.3 of the
Land Use Code. In particular, the rear half of the north and south elevations
appear featureless. Staff makes the following recommendations in order to add
features that help mitigate the over -emphasis on colored EIFS, repetitive
roofline and the overall horizontality of the building.

01/06/2016: The building would benefit from more generous use of the
sandstone to add texture, especially along the east elevation. The sandstone
must be carried across the full length of the east elevation, including the vertical
element that is colored EIFS 4, up to the top of the first floor. Otherwise the
vertical element appears monolithic.

01/06/2016: Along the east elevation, to the right of the vertical element, the

details? As shown, the windows contribute to the flatness of the building and
lack depth. Please consider adding trim and detail, sills, lintels, etc. to the
windows to help breakup the uniform surfaces. Perhaps the top floor windows
could be enhanced with a slight arch that introduces a new geometric form.
Perhaps the upper level windows can be further recessed allowing for an upper
story overhang.
