It also found the <br />architecture was inappropriate and did not reflect the character and distinction of the <br />Downtown area, that the density was too high, and the number of proposed units should <br />be reduced. The Planning Commission was unconvinced of the actual affordability of the <br />product type and felt that the design had been sacrificed with no assurance of <br />affordability . The Planning Commission also found that the 44" heritage black walnut <br />tree on the site should be mitigated by the placement of an adequate number of trees on- <br />site as well as payment of the full-appraised value into the Urban Forestry Fund. <br />SR:05:258 <br />Page 1 <br />
