variation. The monotonous repetition of the massive buildings negates the
garage units being 'equal or better', or'nominal and inconsequential' as they
have a dramatic impact on the lack of variation.
Furthermore, more directly pertinent to the exact request, the striped edge along
the parking lot drive and garage doors is highly inconsistent with goals for
pedestrian orientation in multifamily neighborhood or district development.
If these units are not counted as design variation, and if a framework of much
clearer and more direct connections is provided, then these units might be
supportable by staff as a positive addition to the project.

half -mile disconnection from north to south, separating the propose housing
from schools, parks, and employment to the west.
The development be well -designed with regard to safety, efficiency and
convenience for vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians and transit, both within the
development and to and from surrounding areas. Sidewalk or bikeway
extensions off -site may be required based on needs created by the proposed
development. The circulation system within each development must
accommodate the movement of vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians and transit,
throughout the proposed development and to and from surrounding areas,
safely and conveniently.
Developments must extend a local street network to form intra- and
inter -neighborhood connections to knit developments together rather than
forming barriers between them. Normally, 2 street connections would be
required to the west. Requirements recognize the infeasibility of those
connections due to topography. 'Alternative Compliance' with the standard is
allowed with attention to fostering non -vehicular access, enhancing
neighborhood continuity and connectivity, and providing direct, sub -arterial
street access to any parks, schools, neighborhood centers, commercial uses,
and employment uses. 3.6.3 B and G2
The approved Brookfield development plan to the west included engineering
grading plans for a pedestrian bridge to this site. The owner of the property that
involves Lafever Drive to the west agrees that a connection would be highly
consistent with goals and needs in the area and would cooperate in a bridge
connection. This matter needs special, perhaps unprecedented attention and
effort given the topography and ditch company concerns. However, it should be
viewed as a tradeoff to overcome the constraints that preventing the two street

10/19/2016: Buildings. This location is different than most multifamily
neighborhood locations in the city. It is located in its own river valley landscape
setting that is not part of any cityscape or neighborhood. Even when the east
side of Strauss Cabin develops, this site will still be a landscape oriented area
with the horizontal line of the valley wall as backdrop.
Please consider a different approach with a much more horizontal directional
emphasis formed by deep overhanging eave features, possibly with floating
effects e.g. with reveals or windows to lighten the effect of the mass. The
massive vertical components as shown could perhaps harmonize more with a
dense, modern cityscape with additional attention, but they do not harmonize
with the landscape setting. Rather than vertical masses penetrating the roof
line, roofs should come down and cover the vertical masses with deep
overhangs, maybe with some variation in how far down they come. Any big and
small chance to add horizontality, such as with horizontal slat balcony railings,
could help.

10/19/2016: Follow up to 1 above: staff questions the narrative that the design
relates to the topography, as the topo forms a sweeping horizontal site backed
by the horizontal line of the hill in the public view. This is an opportunity and a
need for buildings more harmonious with the hill behind them. The monotonous
repetition of these massive buildings would be an intrusion upon this Harmony
Gateway landscape that staff believes would shock the community and create a
strong negative reaction. Discussion is warranted as a follow up to the meeting.

access, unless they can be shown to be less than 30' in height. All buildings
placed parallel to the drive aisle appear to provide access minimum access.

and west flowline along this project will be the ultimate design — so that just

go first then we may have an interim east roadway edge, but will need to clearly
define what is ultimate and what gets torn out and rebuilt with the other project.
Again if this project doesn't go first then the plans change and we need to show
how this project will tie into what the other side is doing to obtain the ultimate
section.

10/21/2016: The widths of Road A and Road B need to be identified
someplace on the plans besides just the typical cross section. In regards to the
typical cross section it shows a crowned drive section — the grading plans would
indicate that these drives slope to one side since sidewalk chases are only
being shown on one side of the drives.

10/21/2016: Road A and Road B need to be labeled on the plans as private
drives. If they are to be named that will need to be placed on the plat and the
plans.

lane design and distances.

10/21/2016: The plans summited were based on Harmony and i-25 project
north proceeding and constructing prior to this project. Understanding that this
might not be the case the plans need to provide design independent of that
project. What does that mean -
- We will need to look at what road construction, widening, striping layout and
design needs to be completed by this project if constructed first. Along
Harmony, Straus Cabin (north and south).
- The sewer system plans (gravity lines, wastewater pumping station,
forcemain) will need to be reviewed and finalized as a part of these plans. This
could also create a problem because I believe the lot that the pumping station
was to be on was to be platted with the other project and the lot will need to be
platted in order for them to get a building permit for that building.
- This project will need to relocate utilities, get the off -site easements and
ROW needed for all the off -site work.
- The applicant and the developer have to understand that if we proceed with
this project going first and that doesn't happen then the plans will need to be
changed and modified to show what they are now building and designing and
how they tie into the Harmony 1-25 North plans. This will be a big change to the
road construction - cross sections, striping and lane alignments and you will
then be dependent on that project completing their improvements so you can tie
in.

10/21/2016. On the plat you are going to want to exclude out the two areas
where the shelters and decks are shown on the site plan. If not done now you
would need to do an easement vacation of the area in which those are to be
placed before you would be able to get a building permit.

10/21/2016: Where is the new waterline in Harmony going to be located? One
note says it is to be 15 feet south of existing edge of pavement, but another note
labels the same line as the pipe as edge of pavement. Also need more
information on what is going on Cinquefoil. Where are the curblines, ROW
lines, does row or easement exist for the new firehydrant?

10/21/2016: The boxelder realignment plans. We will need to review and
approve these plans. Our biggest concern will be the design and work within
the ROW. These plans will need to be approved with this project.

10/21/2016: Letters of intent for off -site easements and ROW will be needed
prior to hearing. I don't know what all these will be yet — we need to see what
utilities and infrastructure this project will be constructing (water, sewer, storm,
roads, and relocations).

10/21/2016: Per the Harmony Corridor Plan pg. 18 the 8 foot wide sidewalk
along Harmony should be located 30 feet from the edge of the road where
possible.

10/21/2016: We are not sure if there should be curb and gutter along this
section of Harmony. We are going to discuss this more intemally and will let you
know what the direction on this will be.

10/21/2016: We are discussing whether or not curb and gutter should be
installed along this portion of roadway. Whether there is curb and gutter will
impact the roadway design and the tree setbacks. I will let you know what that
decision is once it has been determined.

10/21/2016: There is a reimbursement that is due to the City for the widening
that the City did along the Harmony Road frontage when the roadway was
widened to 3 travel lanes. That will get reflected in the development agreement.
