and the access to the park. He noted that the difference between their proposal versus the TOD internal street scheme is about 10,000 square feet of additional open space. Mr. Yau stated that with regard to the issue of security mentioned earlier by Commissioner Olson, there will be pedestrian gates with key pads. He indicated that they do not anticipate having vehicular gates through the project and noted that management is on-site and will manage security in the property. He added that, all parking along the back will be well lit throughout the evening. Mr. Yau stated that there is access to the trail system on one edge of the park and dedication of the trail along three sides of the site. He then presented a blown-up section along Gibraltar Drive which shows the use of one of the examples of the Guidelines with a 22-foot pedestrian setback, angled parking, a travel lane, and a non-raised median along the center. He added that Hacienda Drive has a 25-foot pedestrian setback. Mr. Yau then presented pictures of the park area and stated that there was a concern about whether or not the garage end of one building would be visible along Gibraltar Drive. He indicated that they are developing a very good landscape scheme for this area as well as for the area along the east side of the park to render them very well landscape-protected so that no garages will be seen from the park or eastbound on Gibraltar Drive. Commissioner Pearce inquired if the .55 acre for the public park does not include the two tot lots. Mr. Yau replied that the tot lots will be part of the public park. Mr. Yau then presented the pool courtyard with similar amenities as on Site 1 but somewhat smaller, including a leasing office, a club room, a fitness room, a pool, and the open space that opens out and connects to the park. He then displayed the four-story buildings toward the back of the site, emphasizing the entries along the front portion of the building, similar to the building along Owens Drive but a little shorter, with caps along the top and accent materials to accent entry into the building itself. Mr. Yau concluded his presentation by showing the three-story garden buildings, with the cap along the corner for accent due to its location along Hacienda Drive, the entrance into the stair tower which is a different material and color than the red which has been called out, and the live/work with the plaza on the corner of Gibraltar and Hacienda Drives. Commissioner Pentin asked Mr. Yau if they are still considering additional caps like those on the extended corners in the entrances and the roofline differences mentioned by Mr. Dolan or if they have come up with any other concepts.
