<br />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 and
<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 and grounds Landscaped Areas-along thirty percent (30%) of a
<br />buildings ~ perimeter to soften buildi~ag 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 sidewallcs along access streets and alleys. Foundation plantings in the sidewalk
<br />areas and along service alleys would not be 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 ari effort to encourage a pedestrian friendly
<br />development project.
