limited to change of height and architectural materials for both
buildings. Construction techniques for installation of the

disappointment with the proposed changes as conservative and
non —committal. Each series of changes from the original concept
have diminished the uniqueness and excitement of the project.

identified the following concerns:
Slow growth habit and small initial size of "Ficus" street
tree variety.
Site planting should be increased in scale relative to
street -frontage landscpae present on the nearby Sobrato
site; proposed plantings too ornamental in scale.
