DESIGN SOLUTION NINE (9) as outlined on page thirty-four (34) of the application reading as <br />follows: <br />`The applicant requests a waiver from Section 3.2 Landscape Design -Building arzd <br />Grounds of the EDD Design Manual' <br />The EDD Design Manual requires that the entire base or foundation of a proposed structure is to be <br />landscaped. The applicant is proposing the following: <br />` ... to provide for building arzd grounds Landscaped Areas along thirty percent (30%) of a <br />buildings perimeter to soften building edges while maintaining necessary sidewalk and <br />outdoor display areas' <br />The applicant argues that this modification will allow for the use of sidewalks and pedestrian plazas <br />to promote the accessibility of the project. The EDD Manual did not foresee a town centre concept <br />with pedestrian sidewalks along access streets and alleys. Foundation plantings in the sidewalk <br />areas and along service alleys would not b~e appropriate: In the stead of proper foundation planting, <br />the applicant can provide enhanced~streetscaping other landscape enhancements. <br />STAFF BACKGROUND AND COMMENT: <br />While staff understands the need for buffering along the perimeter of the building, we believe that <br />the proposed Design Solution is more appropriate in an effort to encourage a pedestrian friendly <br />development project. <br />CHART, TABLE OR DEMONSTRATION: SEE BELOW (supplied by applicant) <br /> <br />1"~j <br />~1; :G,~t <br />c.s^t <br />3 E*fl;ti~4tBi~ ~ttc~1 yw+'iily <br />i'~ina~ #r+e:t Iya~~~rw~~~xt~~ti <br />_...~_.___ e'•~3~;5f PJ~,~rra'~[Ytc ~7CCkfw G.c~ tr':fit' <br />~ur~in~l~:r~'ina 1,i7n~ irgeb <br />~ ,[[.~.~ `;7rrt,~~~ ~C`~~,tis i3~ bStiTa+n~<r:.lk <br />I~ ~~~~ GY$4~'`5415'1?OthEL2~:i'o~ <br />,, 1 ff <br />]'r'i'ms ~ ~~xi~;wwa~]2s~. ~~~~~ <br />gg ~,___.. scx~:~t.
