CASE NL'MBER: APPLlCAN"': ' 1526-&4 Sh~rewood Corporation Page ~ the ,a=age e~d is proposed at the ~Unue Len percent gr3~e. A study of the proposed and existing contours suggests to U3 that it ,",ouid be- far more appropriate to have a single driveway g..,ing down the hill and to enter the garage in some revised fashion off the >:ul-de-sac which is establisbed at the garage level. This will five us a treater di-~aDce to come down Lbe hill and substantially reduce th' ten percent grade involv~d. A m.i.1or rearrange.sent of the parking area east of the cul-de-sac vill make ttis a w',rkable solution. We have discussed this with th~ arcbitect who agrees that this obj~ctive should be p~rsued. 5. Th,,: apartllk'nt pr.:>posal and the office building development near Ricp. Street conforms wit:", all 2:ooio8- and developme.lt standards. The applicants ha~e not applied for ~ preliminary plat at th13 ~ime. Addition41 ana17sis of storm drainage and utility fac:1ities will be in .::=der as a part of tbat preliminary plat proc(;ss. On.} of toe objectives of ~he plan vas to keep the building low so I'll to now :iI;.pede ". view of single family residences fronting on the south side of Minnesota Avenue. One of th. bomes t~us affectEd is a new home with & south facing de~k at en elevati~ 01 ~o'l.O (as indicated by tbe architect). Tbe Mchiter.t indicates that the peak ~f the pitched roof will be at 967.1). ile under~tan.1 that the -"pplicant (Mr. Gordie H(Me) has diS':,Jssed this relationship with the owner of thi... bmDe. We understand that the appli..:ant has also reviewed these plus .-i!'.h other b~owners south of Kinnesota Avenue. 6. Perhaps one of the gooll things ahout the proposal that uy be')f:,fit t.be single family hoae<NUers Oil. Minnesota Avenue is ~he fact ~at thJ.s structure will funccion as a sound bDrrier to the traffi= on Trunk Bi&b-~1 36. The build~rg will t~ totaily air conditioned, and thus the impact of the sound f!"oDII Trunk R1bbwsy )6 should not l..tve serious deleterku8 eff~cts on tbe li.ing units wit~in the structure. The bU11ding you wil~ notice is placed on the northerly balf of the site so as to ~~~e the distan~e to the trav211ed ,o~tio~ of the ~oadway. 7. The applic~~t indicates to uS tnat tbe owners of the s~Dgle familv residence to the ~st of the site ar~ concerned ab3ut an easement fo"'r access which extends to Hari~n Stree~. If sucb a driveway would b~ hu~lt, it would have co~sid~rable impact on ewe ot the re$id~~ce9 on either aide of the eas< '!!nt9__ We bave reviewed tbf' aC'.~S3 plan to the site with t~~~ City. s Fire ~1arsnall vbc agrees that the acce.u will be aJE'quate for emergency vehicle! purp"'~.!$ inasm;.:.~h as tbt:y are providing a 100 ioct diameter cul-de-s3c, south of the structure. Under these conditions, tnp. Fire Marshail indicates tbat a sec~nd~ry access to the west will not be reG.uir~d. '!'hu!;, WE' endorse the closing "f thi!'! aecf'Ss. and ~liminating the potential adverse impact on th~$e ex:~ti"g sir~le family resiJence$. 8.
