Committee Questions, Comments, Concerns

• How is the grade change being treated for the site?
• Concerned about the front doors being along the retaining wall creating a dangerous condition.  Per HCP: It's 9' from the property wall and an additional 3' to the retaining wall.  There will be extensive lighting along this walk way.
• Can the entrance for the back units potentially be on the sides?
• Can you consider making clusters of 6 instead of 3 so you can create making more greenspaces.  Can experiement witht he number of clusters to open the site up more.
• Consider repeating the same massing on the Wade Park side as the rear units to open up space.
• Have you considered acquiring the home adjacent to the site to help make the site work?
• Consider using the arched windows only for the brick units.
• Any study of using a different masonry color along the Wade Park facade?

Project details presented by H. Cohan Plessner, G. Hall, M. David from Knez, and C. Schmidtz from Sixmo.  Discussed details on the revised plans, feedback from the community, Councilman, and Planning Commission.

Committee Questions, Comments, Concerns

• Have you completing a grading and engineering plan yet?
• What's driving the use of the double arch?
• Perhaps use a darker window frame to tie into the railings, etc.
• Have you given any thought on how to mitigate the sound from the trains going by?  Perhaps consider double laminated windows.
• Consider the alignment of the windows nearest to the main doors

Motion to approve with changing the color of windows for the brick buidings to something darker, possibility of adding transom windows above the doors, study bench alignment, study the use of the double wide arch, study the grade change alignment (if it is substantial, it should come back for review).
