File #2326 February 12,1998 Page 2 3. e. f. g< h. A sidewalk from Olive Avenue to the building sidewalks has been added to provide neighborhood access through the site. The 5' parking setback is still requested; three bumpouts for tree locations at the edge of the parking lot have been added to the plan (note that existing tree locations have also been shown on the site plan). The electrical transformer has been moved to the back of the building to be less visible. The total number of parking spaces has been reduced from 64 to 62, but still meets the 56 space requirement based on the bank/office/retail combination; if the entire 5280 s.f. retail space becomes restaurant-type uses and 50% is public space, then an additional 3 spaces for a total of 59 would be needed under the zoning code formula, which the proposal would still meet. 2. Elevation Views/Building Design (Exhibit D): a. b. c. Applicant has added design features which help break up the large expanse of roof, and has provided elevation views of all four sides of the building The cedar shake over brick wall facade is still proposed, and will require the granting of a variance. Not shown on the plan, but inherent in the design, will be railings along the retail space walkway in front and the two elevated access doors at the rear. Landscape Plan (Exhibit E): (Also see Wally Case's original comments. Exhibit I, which were not available at the January meeting) a. b. c.
