14. The limit of development line (LOD) is basically the stabilization line as shown with
the diagonal pattern. The line moves back and forth across the property line. Our
concept is to use the outer loop (not including the southern -most loop) as the
boundary between manicured and natural landscaping. We therefore propose that the
natural seeding extend to the stabilization line.
15. a. N/A
b. After careful consideration and working with staff, we are proceeding as a non-
residential/commercial use with modifications to Maximum Size and Roof Form.
The site has been redesigned to comply with the code provisions dealing with
orientation, parking, and connecting walkways.
Building Massing — The buildings unique pentagon shape presents a 60' end wall
to the street sides of the site. Each wing surrounds a courtyard that retreats back
from the end wall 80' — 100'. A central raised cupola provides interest and
natural light to the center of the building. Each wing is about 7,000 s.f., well
below the 10,000 s.f maximum allowed undifferentiated footprint. The
Administration, Business Office portion of the building has many facade breaks
with no wall exceeding 75'. It has porch overhangs with colonnades, a porte
cochere structure at the entry and a variety of roof planes.

h. A detail of bicycle parking will be provided to staff. At least 12 spaces will be
shown exceeding the minimum 5% required. Six spaces will be located near the
front public entrance and 6 more at the employee entrance on the west side of the
administration wing.
