<br />Peer Review <br />A peer review was conducted by Cannon Design Group and submitted to the City on May 26, 2005. <br />The peer review indicates the design overall looks good and concentrated on details that could be <br />modified to enhance the proposed design. These are: <br />I) Provide more articulation on the belly band, or make it smaller; <br />2) Reduce the size of the trim at all sills and around the windows; <br />3) Add trim to the deck fronts to produce shadow lines; <br />4) Consider planter and lattice to soften deck divider; <br />5) Add garage doors with windows and detail with additional latticed and trellis on the St. <br />Johns units; <br />6) Enlarge columns at porch elements; and, <br />7) Reduce window size on second floor at unit rear. <br />On July IS, 2005, Staff met with the applicant to review the peer review suggestions and confirmed a <br />willingness to amend the plans to reflect those comments with the exception of Item 5 related to adding <br />garage doors on the multi-family St. Johns Street units. Mr. Winter is opposed to this proposal because <br />the placement of garage doors will be counterproductive in ensuring parking is maintained on site in that <br />the garages will likely become storage areas and parking will end up on the street, that the garage doors <br />would require automatic openers and could impact traffic while people wait for the doors to open before <br />maneuvering into the driveway, and that the design currently has windows from the kitchen providing <br />natural light and air and the enclosure of the garages will eliminate that design feature. <br />Housing Commission <br />On June 16, 2005 Staff presented the project to the Housing Commission. Scott Erickson presented the <br />project. The Commissioners expressed support for the project as one that was affordable by design, <br />supported the number of units understanding that the project was not subject to the Inclusionary Zoning <br />Code. The applicant was congratulated for his efforts and was requested to return to provide the <br />Commission with some real numbers related to sales and rents for units of this housing type. <br />Tree Preservation and Removal <br />The tree report conducted by HortScience identified twelve (12) trees of value to the site. Five (5) of <br />those trees are defined as heritage trees. Ofthose, two (2) oaks will be preserved; one in the existing <br />street tree location will remain while the other located at the west property line will be relocated on site. <br />An ash will also be retained on site. The remaining nine (9) heritage trees will be removed and replaced <br />with sixteen (16) consisting of both natives and ornamental trees. This results in a ratio of 1.7:1, nearly <br />2: I ratio. Staff does not support more trees planted on the site for a greater replacement ratio due to the <br />inadequacy of the site to successfully support more trees. <br />The black walnut has caused concern to both interested parties and the Commissioners in that it <br />represents a sizeable tree with a 44" diameter. The applicant is mitigating the loss of this tree along with <br />the other eight trees by the proposed planting as shown in the landscaping plan. It has been determined <br />that it is infeasible to relocate this tree, is a hazard if kept in the existing location due to its great size and <br />is a very messy tree in an urban setting in that there is debris generated during every season. Mr. Winter <br />has been looking for an interested party who might be interested in using the wood from this tree for <br />special projects. No interest has been received to date. <br />
