F
H
A
I
You
so
this
is
a
request
by
the
applicant
Court
Atkins
group
on
behalf
of
the
owner,
Jeffrey
Solomon,
and
they
are
requesting
approval
of
a
certificate
of
appropriateness,
Highway
Corridor
overlay
to
approve
the
landscape,
lighting
and
Architectural
plans
for
a
15
000
square
foot
office
building
within
the
new
Riverside
Village
Development.
The
property
is
approximately
1.56
Acres,
it's
known
as
personal
seven
and
it's
located
at
the
southeast
corner
of
Highway
170
and
46.
new
Riverside
PUD,
and
it
is
within
the
new
Riverside
Village
master
plan.
I
And
here
you
see
the
location
map
and
the
proposed
building
and
as
I
indicated,
it's
15
000
square
foot.
Building
the
one
story
will
be
a
dental
office
story
portion
will
be
six
tenants
and
there
is
a
separation,
as
you
can
see
here
in
the
middle
a
courtyard,
but
the
building
is
attached
site
plan
that
you
see
here.
I
just
want
to
point
out
a
few
things.
I
I
A
couple
of
other
things
to
point
out
too.
The
elevation
that
I
showed
you
this
particular
elevation.
The
front
will
face
into
the
gas
station
adjacent
known
as
refueled,
and
there
will
be
an
access
easement.
Locating
both
the
building
will
have
its
dumpster
on
its
own
property,
but
it
will
need
an
access
easement
to
allow
the
dumpster
or
the
dump
truck
to
come
pick
up
garbage,
and
so
it
looks
like
the
dumpster
locations
off
site.
It
is
not
and
I
believe
he
spoke
about
that
during
the
preliminary
plan.
The.
I
I
Of
the
proposed
building
again,
this
is
the
property
face.
This
is
the
elevation
facing
into
the
gas
station
to
the
east.
This
is
the
elevation
I
will
face
into
the
park
to
the
West.
The
elevation
here
will
face
into
new
Riverside
Village
Way,
and
then
this
portion
that
you
see
here
at
the
bottom
will
face
into
Highway
46
again,
there's
a
sixth
buffer,
so
there
won't
be
full
visibility
of
the
the
building.
I
As
I
noted
on
the
landscape
plan,
it
did
not
identify
the
60-foot
buffer
and
that
will
need
to
be
shown
on
a
revised
plan
within
that
buffer.
There
needs
per
the
highway
Corridor
overlay.
It
will
need
to
show
that
the
Landscaping
requirements
are
being
met.
The
six
ever
storied,
seven
ever
story,
trees,
600
story
and
30
shrubs.
I
E
I
I
A
sidewalk
from
your
Riverside
Village
right
away
into
the
front
of
the
building.
There
is
a
sidewalk
located
here
in
the
rear,
but
we
believe
that
a
sidewalk
would
be
appropriate
and
allow
these
cars
that
are
parked
here,
which
probably
more
easily
access
the
building
than
having
to
go
farther
into
the
property.
I
I
One
of
our
concerns
with
regard
to
the
actual
posts
that
are
proposed
in
the
parking
area
is
that
they
are
too
tall
for
the
requirements
and
that
we
are
suggesting
that
they
be
more
pedestrian
oriented
somewhere
between
10
to
12
feet
and
that
this
style
of
lighting
not
be
used.
The
light
posts
that
are
in
the
Riverside
Village
right
now
or
are.
I
One
thing
that
I
should
also
mention
too,
is
that
the
illumination
levels
exceed
the
requirement
of
the
BD
zso,
and
so
that
will
need
to
be
a
corrected
as
well.
The
average
elimination
foot
candles
and
then
at
some
areas
is
inconsistent
and
we
have
some
hot
spots
in
some
areas.
So
10
foot
handles
maximum,
for
example,
in
the
parking
area
and
I
believe
they're,
showing
something
like
22
in
some
areas
of
the
parking
lot.
So
that
will
need
to
be
corrected.
I
And
I
feel
like
I
may,
have
gone
through
this
rather
quickly
and
there
are
here's.
The
criteria
for
you
to
review
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
a
as
we
go
through
the
conditions
the
application
does
have
to
comply
with
the
the
development
agreement,
the
concept
plan,
the
master
plan,
a
new
Riverside
Village,
as
well
as
the
covenants
conditions
and
restrictions.
I
I
I
This
is
more
of
a
talking
about
the
Landscaping
portion
of
the
plan
things
I
haven't
covered
will
stops,
do
need
to
be
provided
so
that
we
don't
have
any
vehicular
overhang
into
landscape
areas
mentioned
the
connection
of
the
Northwest
portion
of
the
property.
That
area
needs
to
be
landscaped.
The
buffer
area
extended.
I
What
I
didn't
mention
I
I
reluct
earlier
when
I
was
going
through
the
landscape
portion
is
that
we
did
not
receive
a
grading
plan
and
the
grading
or
the
averaging
sea
level
that
was
identified
on
the
plan
is
showing
23
it's
actually
somewhere
in
the
range
of
39
to
I,
believe
41.
So
that
will
need
to
be
corrected.
It's
very
possible
that
the
a
tree
that
eight
trees
in
that
property
may
not
be
able
to
be
retained,
and
so
we'll
want
to
know
whether
or
not
we
need
to
plant
more
trees.
I
They
have
provided
the
the
dumpster
enclosure,
which
would
be
wood.
One
thing
they
did
indicate
on
the
dumpster
enclosure
is
that
there
would
be
a
door
on
the
North
side
which
is
facing
into
Highway
46..
We
are
recommending
that
that
door
be
on
the
south
side
of
the
enclosure
instead,
so
that
the
enclosure
can
be
screened
and
with
regards
to
screen,
we
are
recommending
that
the
entire
height
of
the
enclosure
be
screened,
so
some
additional
Landscaping
would
be
necessary.
I
The
downstairs
Dimensions
between
the
lighting
plan
and
the
landscape
plan
were
inconsistent
and
that
will
need
to
be
updated
with
regard
to
the
handrail.
We
just
want
to
point
out
that
it
will
be
required
and
that
it
has
to
comply
with
building
code,
and
we
are
suggesting
that
it
be
something
that's
architecturally
appropriate
for
the
building
and
on
the
landscape
plan.
The
light
post
location
should
be
shown
to
identify
if
there
are
any
conflicts
the
sidewalk
I
mentioned.
Previously.
A
A
I
B
I
do
have
a
general
question
as
it
relates
to.
Can
you
go
back
to
where
you
showed
that
part
of
the
property
that
is
actually
part
of
the
property
now
in
the
buffer,
yeah
right
there?
Okay,
all
right
on
the
other
drawings
we're
showing
a
pathway
going
through
there,
whose
responsibility
is
that
pathway?
That's
the
responsibility
of
the
developer,
so.
E
J
J
There
to
this
Trail,
so
this
is
more
of
a
more
of
a
naturalized
Trail.
It's
not
necessarily
an
ADA
Compliant
Trail
in
the
sense
of
saved,
but
it
is
again
it's
meant
to
be
a
more
of
a
walking
trail
and
there
is
a
connection
at
that
point.
We're
not
requiring
any
other
connecting
points
Beyond
where
there's
a
road
connection
and.
B
Then
pedestrian
connection,
it's
more
like
what's
around
Buckwalter
place,
then
yes,
okay,
I
kind
of
late
in
the
process
for
this,
but
I
would
question
that
if
we
were
earlier
in
the
process,
you
know
you're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
people
biking
and
walking
along
there
that
can't
really
bike
and
walk
along
there
if
it's
a
mulch
Trail,
but
that's
not
clear
well,
that
should
have
been
with
the
master
developer
and
I.
I
haven't
really
had
that
discussion,
but
this
project,
so
we
can't
yeah
and
okay
for
the
record.
E
K
K
C
Good
evening,
James
Adkins
with
court
Adkins
group
and
I
also
have
Dan
Kiefer
with
Whitmer
Jones
keeper
appreciate
it
for
review.
There's
we've
already
crossed
off
several
of
these
things
off
the
list
in
anticipation
of
the
meeting
is
just
quick
summary
on
the
Charlotte
outline.
Will
stocks
will
be
adding
I?
Believe
there's
a
when
you
look
at
the
site,
there's
kind
of
a
bank
to
the
left
of
this
at
the
Town
property
owns
and
it's
all
grass
nicely
and
I
think
remember.
Ron
Dan
was
thinking
that
kind.
J
C
A
F
C
Perfect
I
think
these
right
now
by
Jason
here
are
in
that
order.
So
number
two
or
B.
Sorry,
one
B,
no
problem
there
we'll
add
Landscaping,
remove
the
grass
connection,
the
grading
plan.
We
went
out
to
the
site
this
morning
and
took
another
look
there
where
the
existing
drives
and
sidewalk
and
part
of
the
development
it
was
cut
in
pretty
low
and
so
I
think
there
are
a
few
trees
up
in
the
corner.
There
are
no
nothing
safer,
they're,
not
significant
trees.
C
C
C
E
C
So
we
would
hopefully
get
LED
lighting
approved.
We
did
some
research
we're
going
back,
there's
a
couple
different
vzdso
documents
and
we'll
work
with
town
to
make
sure
we
get
the
right
illumination
levels
because
they
were
slightly
different
but
had
no
problem
getting
those
down
there,
and
then
we've
also
reached
out
to
the
master
developer
regarding
the
site
lighting
to
coordinate
and
get
that
to
fit
in
more
with
the
overall
development.
C
We
don't
really
have
any
intention
of
making
a
statement
piece
out
of
the
site
lighting
here,
so
it
will
match
the
existing
development
and
lower
those
and
then
their
locations.
We
had
already
noted
that
and
working
with
Dan
when
we
got
that
we're
going
to
move
them
from
the
tree
Islands
to
the
back
of
the
parking
strips
and
then
shine
onto
the
parking
lot.
So
we've
already
noted
those
and
they're
re-running
the
photometrics,
with
all
that.
D
C
C
D
C
E
C
And
we're
going
to
we
check
the
Turning
radiuses
for
all
their
gas
tanker
trucks
and
everything
fit
out
from
there.
So
I
think
the
key
changes
we're
relocating
the
dumpster
from
here
to
here
and
to
widen
this
planning
strip
to
the
minimum.
So
we
got
both
of
those
taken
care
of
in
a
relatively
quick
time
frame
for
turnaround,
but
we
missed
a
couple
labeling
things
and
stuff.
So
we'll
get
those
cleaned
up.
C
Rooftops
so
gosh
I
should
have
stayed
where
I
was
the
rooftop
equipment
we
believe
is
screened.
We
can
put
it
on
the
roof
plan
to
ensure.
But
if
you
look
here,
what
we've
done,
it's
a
ranges
from
two
to
three
feet
on
the
main
purpose,
but
the
HVAC
units
actually
tuck
up
right
behind
the
front
of
the
building
and
the
larger
roof
sections
which
serve
two
purposes,
get.
A
C
E
C
C
Sorry
we
will
we're
going
to
remove
the
man
door
and
it'll
give
us
a
chance
to
get
more
landscaping
around
the
dumpster,
which
was
also
Innovative,
so
we'll
get
Mr
Kiefer
to
update
that
labeling.
Yes,
appreciate
you
all
doing
some
qaqc
for
us,
so
we'll
get
that
taken
care
of
we'll
get
the
I'm
not
sure
like
it
actually
shows
label
three
property
lines
on
the
drawing.
So
clearly
the
top
is
the
the
property
line,
and
then
the
buffers
and
the
building
setbacks
are
kind
of
lined
up
there.
So
we'll
get.
C
Is
Dimensions?
We
talked
about
pedestrian
access
enclosure,
not
really
sure
I
mean
we
talked
internally
about.
If
we
wanted
to
stripe
a
path
in
the
roadway
or
something
or
I'm,
not
really
sure
what
we're
looking
for
there
with
moving
the
dumpster
off
of
where
it
was
better
for
the
trucks
and
everything
it's
a
little
farther
for
the
the
intent.
C
We
will
keep
Richard
happy,
we'll
get
some
handrails
they'll
be
relatively
simple
black
handrails.
Nothing
fancy
talked
about
light
locations,
removing
those
it's
already
in
the
works
sidewalk.
We
will
add
that
used
to
connect
all
the
way
down
and
I
felt
like
it
was
way
too
much
concrete,
but
then
we
removed
it
all
so
we'll
get
the
typical
sidewalk
width
connected
up
to.
C
J
C
Yeah
and
the
overall
development,
because
some
of
that
is
at
40
and
if
you
go
out
there
when
they
cut
that
all
in
we're
actually
I
think
the
two-story
building
so
which
is
kind
of
that
gray.
The
other
ones
raised
up
is
kind
of
37,
so
I
mean
we're
actually
kind
of
cutting
down
into
that
and
getting
that
a
little
bit
closer.
C
C
C
C
D
My
only
other
comment
that
I
wanted
to
make
and
it's
more
of
a
request
than
it
is
anything
else
where
that
dumpster
is
located
in
Charlotte's
kind
of
covered.
This
already
I
do
want
those
pod
and
purpose
a
little
taller
than
what
they
were,
but
then
coming
extending
towards
the
gas
station
continuing
that
buffer
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
the
podocarpus
it
could
be
I,
don't
remember
what
the
other
shrub
is
that
runs
along
there.
It
could
be
repeating
those,
but.
D
E
L
I
moved
to
approvement
certificate
of
coping
this
and
Highway
Corridor
overlay
for
the
new
Riverside
Village
pasta,
seven
with
conditions
as
follows:
one
landscape
plan
conditions
a
through

as
provided
by
Stack
report
and
number
two
lighting
plan.
Approval
of
the
proposed
LED
lighting
condition,
a
and
conditions

and

is
provided
in
the

The
architectural

the
stat
report
and
number
four
other
items
conditions
a
through
H,
as
provided
in
the
stat
report.
D
D
Amount,
the
tidiness
of
the
drawings
and
because
there
are
so
much
there's
so
much
time
dedicated
onto
part
of
staff
and
on
this
group
up
here,
putting
our
attention
on
things
that
just
they're
not
beneficial
and
they're,
not
useful
and
they're.
Not
it's
it's
taking
away
from
where
the
time
could
be
placed.
A
D
G

The
application
is
for
preliminary
development
plan
on
10.1
acre
parcel
it's
located
within
the
light
industrial
zoning
district
and
it's
subject
to
the
standard
set
forth
and
atomic
Bluffton
unified
development.
Ordinance
project
consists
of
a
200
unit
apartment
complex,
containing
four
proposed
four-story
multi-family
buildings
and.
G
This
is
a
zoning
map.
The
subject
is
outlined
in
yellow.
This
shows
that
north
of
the
property
is
also
zoned.
Light
industrial,
that's
Resort,
Services,
Inc,
south
of
the
property
year-round
pools,
is
also
light.
Industrial
a
cross
the
street
on
Buck
Island
Road
is
neighborhood
commercial,
the
rear
of
the
properties,
residential
General
and
further
north
of
the
property's
residential
General
as
well.
G
G
G
G
G
I
G
Site
coverage
is
51
as
proposed.
The
required
parking,
a
total
of
405
spaces,
are
required.
That's
two
spaces
per
apartment
unit,
plus
four
spaces
per
thousand
square
feet
for
the
leasing
office,
leasing
offices,
approximately
1100
square
feet
that
works
out
to
five
initial
spaces,
so
a
total
of
405
spaces
required
and
they
are
providing
a
total
of
405
spaces.
G
G
Finally,
commission
actions
or
approve
the
application,
as
submitted
by
the
applicant
through
the
application,
with
conditions
table
the
application
or
deny
the
application,
as
submitted
by
the
applicant
and
town
staff,
finds
that
the
requirements
of
section
3103a
of
the
unified
development
ordinance
have
been
met
to
recommend
that
the
planning
fish
and
improve
the
application
as
submitted.
So
the
suggested
motion
is
that
the
Planning
Commission
approves
the
application
as
submitted.
A
G
A
E
G
J
J
And
I'm,
sorry
and
the
reason
part
of
the
reason.
Why
is
because
it
still
provides
the
functionality
for
the
adjacent
property
so
RSI?
They
do
have
trucks
that
that
go
into
that
area
right
there.
So
they
need
to
make
sure
that
they
had
sufficient
space
to
be
able
to
maneuver
their
trucks,
bay,
doors.
A
G
B
G
B
B
B
I
know
he
would
have
been
on
the
initial
VRC,
but
just
that
that
height
and
that
one
of
the
things
I
mean
I'm.
I'll,
be
honest
with
you:
do
you
have
the
the
the
elevation
from
the
street
it
was
in?
Let's
see
it
was
I.
Do
not
have
it
at
political,
supplemental
information,
the
conceptual
architecture.
G
E
B
Well,
in
looking
at
it,
it
evokes
visions
of
Route
17
heading
into
Charleston,
and
that
is
a
bunch
of
very
tall
apartment
buildings
right
on
the
road
and
no
room
for
roads
to
expand
in
the
future,
no
rooms
for
good
sidewalks
I'm
concerned
about
that.
Do
we
have
requirements
in
the
Udo
of
setbacks
further
than
what
it
is,
because
I
mean
that
is
literally
right
on
top
of
a
three-way.
G
B
G
Is
out
of
the
Udo
and
the
form-based
codes?
If
you
look
light
industrial,
is
this
Bottom
Road,
so
every
and
so
the
lot
types
that
that
are
are
loud
are
dots
here.
What
we're
looking
at
is
the
large
multi-family
lot
the
table
that
follows.
It
provides
the
what's
called
a
fault
regulations
for
the
multi-family
lot.
So
what
front
setback
is
a
10
foot,
man,
mode
and
30
foot
maximum
I
think
they're
showing
10
foot
minimum?
B
I
just
I
mean
I
know
it
fits
the
Udo
if
it's
the
requirements,
there's
very
little
to
do
here
to
require
that.
But
my
concern
as
we
revisit
the
Udo
next
year
are
about
the
height
as
it
relates
to
other
properties
around
it
and
how
it's
literally
up
on
the
street.
It's
it's
going
to.
If
we
allow
other
developments
like
that,
we
don't
fix
this
in
the
Udo
in
my
opinion,
or
end
up
with
tunnel
effect
on
small
roads
like
what
you
see
when
you
run
into
Charleston
now,
I
agree.
D
B
B
D
Entertaining
pushing
this
throat
this
building
back
a
little
bit
from
the
right
of
way
and
reconfiguring
the
parking
a
little
bit.
One
of
my
there's
I'm
I
am
also
with
commissioner
Wetmore
that
this
is
out
of
character
for
the
place
so
and
I
understand
you'd
have
to
you
had
to
put
it
between
10
and
30
feet,
but.
D
The
other
heartburn
I'm,
having
is
these
eight
foot
wide
parking
spaces
I'm
sure
you
are
very
familiar
with
town
of
Hilton
Head,
which,
when
they
do
compact
spaces,
they
shorten
the
distance,
not
narrow
the
width
of
the
lot
cars
don't
get
really
any
narrow
where
they
get
shorter
by
and
large
enough.
If
we
could
go
okay.
J
So,
as
you
can
see
on
this
slide
right
here,
we
actually
worked
with
the
applicant
because
we
do
allow
for
up
to
25
percent
of
your
parking
to
be
compact
spaces.
Now
we
don't
clearly
Define
what
is
a
compact
space,
so
we
are
working
on
that.
I've
worked
in
other
municipalities,
where
it's
actually
based
on
top
of
it.
It
was
seven
and
a
half
feet,
but
you
still
have
the
same
length
of
18
feet
so.
J
Is
we,
as
you
can
see,
these
blue
dots
are
all
except
for
a
few
of
them
are
on
the
end
of
the
aisle.
The
intent
is
that
by
having
it
on
the
end
of
the
aisle,
you
actually
have
a
little
additional
space
of
the
island
itself
for
individuals
to
be
able
to
use
for
the
door,
one
of
the
thought
processes
almost
to
have
a
flat
curve
at
that
point.
So
that
way,
it
just
provides
that
little
bit
of
extra
space
while
still
providing
a
smaller
parking
space.
They.
J
D
E
D
Couple
of
places
where
there
should
be
some
trees
at
the
ends
of
the
Bays
that
aren't
there
on
the
plan.
It's
a
few
spots,
I,
that's
a
nitpick
you
compared
to
the
overall
problem
that
this
project
is
to
me
I'm
a
strong
advocate
for
property
rights,
but
this
is
significant.
This
is
majorly
out
of
it
inconsistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
This.
D
With
the
master
plan
for
the
buck,
Island
simmonsville
neighborhood,
the
there's
a
four-story
storage
unit
on
Buckwalter
on
a
much
larger
right-of-way
and
it's
70
feet
away
from
the
roadway,
and
it's
not
even
a
budding
the
roadway
face
on
like
this,
and
it
is
problematic
to
the
community
that
buck
Island
simmonsville
master
plan
is
abundantly
clear
that
this
is
not
what
they
want
to
see.
They
don't
want
Apartments,
they
don't
want
this
kind
of
density
here
and
I
understand.
You've
got
property
rights,
but
this
isn't
sensitive
to
the
neighborhood
and
anyway
shape
or
form.
D
It's
not
that
we
don't
need
apartments
in
Bluffton.
We
absolutely
need
Apartments
I'm,
also
struggling,
because
this
is
a
light
industrial
site
which
we
have
of
the
land
uses
that
we
have
in
this
town.
That
is
one
of
the
least
amount
of
spaces
that
we
have
and
we're
shifting
it
to
multi-family,
which
means
that
we
have
even
less
opportunity
for
economic
diversity
in
this
town.
M
D
M
We
did
speak
to
him
through
the
person
who
was
selling
us
the
site
regarding
those
spaces
as
there's
no
official
rights
for
them
as
far
as
what
they
do.
You
know
from
here
once
we
developed
the
site.
Obviously
we
are
not
granting
them
any
rights,
it's
up
to
them,
but
we
have
a
letter
from
them.
Acknowledging
you
know
the
the
lack
of
an
easement
or
any
official
in
writing
right
to
park
their
cars.
I
B
M
Or
I
I
candidly
was
not
around
a
crown
for
Old
Carolina.
That
was
a
little
bit
before
my
time
with,
regardless
of
this
site.
I
know
we
were
I
spent,
maybe
100
hours
workshopping
as
planned,
based
on
the
Udo
code
and
the
restraints
with
the
minimum
maximum
setbacks
and
then
obviously
the
economics
of
developing
the
site
with
as
much
land
being
dedicated
to
the
storm
water
Wetland-
and
this
was
you
know
the
best
way
we
could
get
it
done
and
make
it
work
for
us.
A
I
K
So,
as
you
all
are
well
aware,
you
have
criteria
if
you
are
required
to
consider
on
any
of
these
applications
and
one
of
the
complicating
factors
I
just
as
fake
as
frankly
and
openly
as
I,
possibly
can
or
obviously
the
complicating
Factor
on
this
one
is
its
own
light.
Industrial
and
light
industrial
does
permit
residential
uses
in
a
multi
and
a
multi-family
residential
use,
and
it
is
based
off
of
the
site
Dimensions,
unlike
residential
general,
which
surrounds
this
property
residential
General
use,
at
least
on
some
number
of
sides,
which
would
be
four
units.
E
K
K
K
K
It's
your
determination
on
the
criteria.
Staff
doesn't
make
the
final
decision
on
a
prelim
y'all
do
so
I
would
defer
to
you
and
defer
to
y'all's
judgment
to
better
directly
answer
your
question.
I
think
it
is
absolutely
appropriate
for
you
to
discuss
that
and
to
see
if
that
can
be.
If
that
can
be
managed.
That
being
said,
the
criteria
is
the
criteria
and
making
that
final
determination
is
giving
an.
I
K
K
See
if
I
can't
provide
an
opinion
tonight,
but
again,
this
is
a
preliminary
development
plan,
application
criteria
to
evaluated
of
the
UVO
and
any
other
governing
documents
that
may
apply.
That
does
not
in
this
case
include
the
comp
plan
and
but
that,
although
the
Architects
and
the
keepers
of
the
comp
plan
say
that's
a
little
bit
of
you
certainly
can
consider
it
in
any
of
your
actions.
B
K
Is
that
probably
a
handful
of
them
are
tenants
and
getting
in
the
mail
may
go
elsewhere,
so
it's
that's
the
reality
of
it.
I'm
sure
that
there
will
be.
It
will
be
common
about
this,
because
I
know
of
y'all's
position
and
I
know
how
difficult
this
can
be.
I
want
to
be
very
clear
that
it's
I
I
understand.
E
K
K
K
K
I
K
D
D
D
A
D
E
D
D
D
B
And
I
think
you're
I,
think
you're
hearing
us
and
Kevin
I
think
you're
hearing
us
that,
hopefully
you
can.
If
the
commission
approves
this
in
a
minute,
to
try
and
somehow
get
it
away
from
looking
like
it's
sitting
right
on
the
road
at
four
stories
in
the
neighborhood
of
two
stories,
just
because
that
property
happened
to
be
zoned
that
way
in
that
location
and
the
use
got
changed
from
the
original
10.
J
E
J
J
I
J
J
J
J
Portion
of
it,
those
trees
can
help
to
to
minimize
that
impact
of
the
building.
It
takes
time,
like
everything,
of
course,
for
it
to
grow
a
couple
of
Seasons,
but
it
would
get
there.
So
that's
something
that
we
can
obviously
work
with
them.
On
the
landscape
plan.
Preliminary
development
play,
we
don't
necessarily
have
landscape
plans
so,
but
at
final
we
can,
we
can
make
sure
and
because
of
the
the
buildings.
J
J
L
A
H
L
D
E
A
M
K
E
K
K
E
J
D
E
M
We
we
have
considered
a
number
of
options.
You
know
in
concert
with
staff.
I
would
point
out
when
we
initially
brought
them
this
plan.
There
was
more
building
Frontage
along
Buck
Island
and
it
was
at
10
feet.
So
we
took
some
of
their
confidence
into
consideration.
We
stepped
it
back
another
five
feet.
Those
buildings
were
essentially
full
L's.
M
A
A
L
M
B
Gonna
ask
a
stupid
question
here:
okay
and
I
know
they're
set
back
rules
and
so
on,
but
we
can
make
exceptions
sometimes
what
if
building
two
and
or
building
three
were
rotated,
and
some
of
the
parking
was
put
in
front
just
to
step
it
back
from
Buck
Island.
Some
is
that
feasible
I
don't
want
to
overstep
bounds
here
or
anything
I'm
just
trying
to
think
of
a
way
to
pull
that
instant
scale
back.
J
J
J
D
So
when,
when
the
Udo
was
being
being
configured
and
put
together,
and
my
eyes
were
because
it's
just
interesting
when
you've
got
light,
industrial
already
here,
you're
assigning
a
light,
industrial
and
you've
created
a
Udo.
That's
asking
for
light
industrial
to
be
10
to
30
feet
from
yeah.
It's
ridiculous.
B
J
A
J
C
I
E
D
K
K
G
D
I'm
gonna:
do
it
and
I'm
doing
it
on
the
basis
of
I,
am
an
advocate
for
property
rights,
and
you
meet
the
bounds
of
that.
I
would
like
to
say
before
I
make
my
mission
I'd
also
like
to
say
thank
you
for
working
with
the
staff
to
make
improvements.
I
am
glad
to
hear
about
the
power
lines
being
buried
and
I
appreciate
that
you
guys
have
put
some
work
in
to
try
to
reconfigure
this
to
be
less.
