Member Chapman expressed concerns about landscaping along the
retaining wall. Mr. Van Houten explained that the Criblock wall
allows for landscaping along the entire face of the wall to
mitigate visibility impacts. Staff presented a Criblock brochure
to the Ccamaittee.
Member Miller questioned the traffic safety of the project. Cars
would have to back onto McClellan Road and visibility would be
limited. Mr. Van Houten believed that viewlines were adequate to
allow motorists sufficient reaction time.
Chairwoman Mann encouraged the applicants to preserve views
through the project. Mr. Avery stated that he could separate the
units more towards the north end of the site if the Public Works
Department would reduce their right-of-way requirement by 4 feet.
The Ccamnittee questioned the applicant about the exterior
materials of the units. The applicant stated that exterior
material callouts were intentionally left off the drawings to
allow the Committee the discretion to select the materials.
Member Chapman encouraged the applicants to install a sidewalk
along the western frontage to allow pedestrians access to the
public stairway at the south end of the project.
Member Chapman made the following co mnents regarding staff's
design objectives listed in the summary report:
1. Encouraged increased separation of the second story elements,
2. Favored the use of wood exterior materials,
3. Encouraged the use of fencing along the front of the project to
architecturally integrate the units,
4. Favored additional separation between units.
The Committee concurred with Member Chapman's remarks.

Staff explained that the Public Works Department does not
implement the conceptual plan sidewalk standards for the following
reasons:
1. Property owners are unlikely to cooperate because many site
modification are usually necessary to accalu!adate the sidewalk
standards,
2. much staff time and additional funding is necessary to work
with each individual property owner to implement the standards
and such fun ing has not been provided by Council.
The Catunittee directed staff to ask Bert Viskovich to attend an
ASAC meeting to provide general information on the public
improvements process. He may select a meeting to attend at his
convenience.
