Applicant Representatives, Darrel LeBarron and Tim Johnson with Station 19 Architects, made a presentation titled "The Orchard `Active' Senior Living," with the presentation attaehed hereto and made a part thereof. Mr. LeBarron, a resident at 2101 W County Road B in Roseville, as President and Chief Planner for Station 19 Architects; provided a detailed synopsis of the Orchard owner/developer and design teams and their respective expertise. Mr. LeBarron reviewed previous projects completed by some or all of the members of the owner/developer team; addressed the age and maintenance conditions of Midland Grove and Ferriswood; clarified zoning and land use misprints; and make up of the subject property. Mr. LeBarron reviewed the original 77-unit building and minimal setbacks compared to the current, revised 55-unit building, at 71 % of the original with increased setbacks. Mr. LeBarron defined building elevations and details; computer-generated sight lines; and detailed site and design revisions in response to previous public comment, and recominendations of the Planning Commission and City Council, and assisted by City staff. Mr. LeBarron advised that the applicant was open to further revisions, based on factual and constructive criticisms as the project developed, and in keeping with the project's design quality concepts and goals.
