The height of the development shall be less than 30' measured in accordance <br />with the height definition in the Zoning Code. <br />Landscaping <br />A sufficient number of trees and landscaping shall be used to enhance the compatibility of the <br />project area. Plant materials selected should include seasonal plantings such as evergreen shrubs and <br />trees for winter livability. Visual or noise intrusion from vehicles and pedestrians should be <br />minimized by the use of landscaping and screening. Public spaces, common areas, and private <br />spaces should be clearly identified by the use of sidewalks and landscaping. <br />The City's consultant is reviewing the landscaping plan. <br />Access <br />Vehicular access to the site shall be provided via an extension of Livingston Avenue. Pedestrian <br />access will be provided between units. The "front" of the units is opposite the garage side and will <br />be accessible by sidewalks.
