Committe Questions, Comments, Concerns

• How will you handle mail or deliveries?  
• How will you signify that there is a rear entrance?
• For security, how will safety/emergency personal quickly find entyways?
• Have you considered solar panels of for the roof?
• Concerned about the open stair on Opt 1 and open concept carports vs weather
• Consider storage under the stair towers for bicycle parking or other outdoor equipment.
• Will the developer provide shades for the floor to ceiling window, just because the height is a bit atypical?
• Consider using a landscape buffer on the triplex instead of the fencing in the front for privacy for the first floor units
• Consider the width of the concrete breaks and what can actually grow in there.
• Consider the dimensions of the parking pad for the duplex, doesnt seem to be enough room to back out.
• Consider adding additional design elements from the triplex to the facade of the duplex (vertical panels).
• Hope to see more form vocabulary, materials, colors, etc to better diversify the models.
• Consider a railing on the front stairs for the duplex.

Khrys Shefton from Famicos Fdn is available to state support for the proposal.

Councilman Hairston is available to state support for the proposal.

Committee Questions, Comments, Concerns

• Concerned that the duplex in a little underwhelming in comparison to the triplex.
• Concerned that mail carriers and emergency services will be confused about the rear entrances
• Concerned about the location of on-site storage, equipment, and trash recepticles.
• How will thermal bridging be address considering the un-insulated, un-covered metal frame of the shipping container

Jennifer Kipp is available to comment on the proposal and requested some additional info.  She also suggested not using the trumpet vine because of the invasiveness of the species.  If any new trees proposed in the tree lawn the minimum width is 4ft.  A planting permit is required from the urban forestor and the species has to be approved.

Motion to approve with the consideration to add some closed/secured storage on site, issues with street trees, study enhancing the facade treatment of the duplex, study the wayfinding or access to the rear entrances.
