4 15 26 WO PB Draft Minutes

11 - Additional parking details: ○ Standard spaces would be 9 feet by 18 feet. ○ Two compact spaces are proposed at 9 feet by 17 feet and comply with code. ○ Sixteen spaces would be car stackers. - Mr. Facchino explained stackers would be reserved for individual tenants. - Tenants using them would receive operational and safety training. - Ms. Moore added that the stackers are commonly used in other buildings. - Manufacturer-provided safety training would be available for tenants operating them. - Mr. Facchino concluded that: ○ The parking layout complies with ordinance requirements and RSIS standards. ○ A traffic engineer would later testify regarding traffic counts and driveway operations. - He also reiterated that approximately 5,807 square feet of impervious pavement would be removed. Those areas would become landscaped or lawn areas. - Mr. Facchino stated that no dedicated loading zone was proposed because the retail component is below the threshold requiring a loading space. - However, the parking layout allows U-Haul trucks and delivery vehicles to maneuver safely. ○ Move-ins and move-outs would occur only by scheduled appointment with building management. ○ Building staff would coordinate parking and staging locations to minimize inconvenience. - On Sheet C950, turning movement exhibits demonstrated: ○ Passenger vehicles and small U-Haul trucks could circulate through the site. ○ A small garbage truck could access the lower level, load from trash rooms, and exit safely. - Trash pickup frequency was expected to be approximately once or twice per week initially. - Mr. Facchino explained that existing drainage patterns would remain substantially unchanged. - Stormwater currently sheet-flows downhill into the property and then into an existing culvert system. - A small masonry retaining wall is proposed: ○ Located on the northwest side of the building. ○ Maximum height approximately 2 feet. ○ Intended primarily to provide emergency pedestrian egress access. - Existing elevations along property lines would largely remain unchanged. - He emphasized the project avoids disturbing steep slope areas. - The building was designed to fit the natural topography. - Parking lot grades already run slightly above 5%, and those conditions would generally be maintained. - The split-level parking configuration was described: ○ Lower-level parking with a ramp leading to

arking lot grades already run slightly above 5%, and those conditions would generally be maintained. - The split-level parking configuration was described: ○ Lower-level parking with a ramp leading to upper-level parking. ○ The design responds directly to the sloping terrain. - Mr. Facchino described the landscaping plan as generous in both quantity and variety of plantings. - He stated earlier versions of the design removed more trees in steep slope areas. ○ The revised design avoids removing trees within the steep slope section. - Total tree impacts: ○ 27 trees would be removed.
