| 2012-09-11 14:23:05 | PURSUANT TO A MEMO FROM BRENDA KELLEY, DATED SEPTEMBER | | | 10, 2012, THE CRA OFFERS THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: | | | | | | PLEASE FIND FOLLOWING, COMMENTS FROM THE DOWNTOWN/CITY | | | CENTER CRA REGARDING THIS APPLICATION AND THE IMPACT OF | | | THE PROPOSAL ON THE ADJACENT NORTHWEST NEIGHBORHOOD | | | (EAST OF TAMARIND AVENUE). | | | | | | GENERAL | | | - COMMUNITY INPUT IS REQUIRED. | | | - WE BELIEVE THAT 16' IS AN EXCESSIVE HEIGHT; AN 8' | | | MAXIMUM HEIGHT WALL MAY SERVE THE SAME PURPOSE WITH | | | LESS IMPACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD. | | | - THE DRAWINGS SUBMITTED MAY NOT ACCURATELY DEPICT THE | | | SCALE OF THE WALL VS. PLANT MATERIALS, ESPECIALLY IN | | | THE 1-YEAR AND 5-YEAR PROJECTIONS. SUGGEST REVISING | | | DRAWINGS TO ACCURATELY REFLECT PROPOSED PLANT MATERIAL | | | SCALE. | | | - STRONGLY RECOMMEND VINE ON WALL FACING TAMARIND TO | | | SOFTEN THE CONCRETE IMPACT. | | | - CONCERN WITH THE HIGH-RISE OAKS. THESE MAY NOT | | | PROVIDE DENSE ENOUGH CANOPY TO HIDE THE WALL. SUGGEST | | | CONSIDERING OTHER SPECIES. (WE RECOGNIZE THAT PROXIMITY | | | TO TRAIN TRACKS IS A CONSIDERATION IN THOSE AREAS WHERE | | | RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE IS CLOSEST TO WALL). | | | - STRONGLY RECOMMEND PLANTING ALL TREES ON BOTH SIDES | | | OF THE WALL CLOSER TOGETHER FOR BETTER AESTHETIC IMPACT | | | ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD. | | | |
