Response to Comments from 9/10/18
Comment #2 (See Sheet L1.1)
A 10ft wide fully site obscuring landscape barrier has been provided along common property lines where
possible. The only area where the 10ft depth is not possible is along the South side of the building, where
the proposed Fire Stairs are located. The Fire Stairs are necessary for circulation, as well as a step- stone
path connecting the stairs to the parking area. In the comments from the Pre-application Meeting from
March 8, 2018 it was stated: Except for critical areas, all portions of the development area not covered by
structures, required parking, access, circulation or service areas, must be landscaped with native,
drought-resistant vegetative cover. Thus it seems reasonable that the landscape buffer is modified in this
location to allow for access and circulation.
Please note that a solid 6ft wood fence is part of this fully sight-obscuring 10ft visual barrier, along with
shrubs and ground cover/ grass. The North side of the building has been modified to allow for the 10ft
depth.
