Request to limit length trucks need to back to docks resulted in redesign of lower level and moving loading dock to location that could shorten backing Evaluation of lighting plan in loading dock area to ensure less light bleeds off site. As meetings continued we have made several more revisions to the proposed plans. We were able to share these changes at the Planning Commission Public Hearing on October 6 and agreed with being tabled to the November 3 meeting to have time to incorporate these revisions into civil plans and to give staff time to review.

In addition, we removed approximately 30' of the top floor on the east end of the building so that the building steps down at that end by a story. The units that were removed by these changes and the units that would have been in the brownstone on the triangle were then added to the west end of the building where the building had been a story lower. Thus the total number of units remains as proposed in the application. We have worked hard to make meaningful and creative changes to the plan to accommodate neighborhood concerns.
