the location of certain units, ADA parking spaces, existing street trees, and Oak tree
removal.
The Committee spoke in support of the project, commenting that the parking reduction was
justified and that replacing the five (5) Oak trees proposed to be removed with only nine (9)
replacement Oaks as opposed to the required fifteen (15) felt appropriate in light of the scale
of the project. The Committee complimented the architectural style of the project, proposed
colors, landscaping choices, the inclusion of the coffee shop as part of the project, and the
"affordable by design" nature of the project.
Committee Member Storton made a motion, seconded by Committee Member Kubel, to
recommend approval of the project to the Planning Commission with the conditions that:
1. All street trees that are damaging existing sidewalk infrastructure are replaced by more
suitable species; and
2. One (1) additional ADA conforming space be including in the project.
The motion also contained the comment that the shared parking reduction was appropriate,
and the choice to replace the five (5) Oaks proposed to be removed with only nine (9)
replacement Oaks instead of the required fifteen (15) was appropriate as well.
