2 including a CUP for building height and a variance for building setbacks. The
recommendation was made with the conditions of the October 14, 1999 planning report
p g p
with changes rude by the Planning Commission.
Residents of the Diver Hills neighborhood were present at the public hearing and were
. p 9
concerned about the specific placement of landscape materials to effectively screen
their residences. The landscape architect for VSSA will meet with the residents of the
neighborhood today to resolve any of the landscape and screenin g issues.
The Planning commission discussed in great detail the issue of access points on 58
p
Street and the street/trail lighting th p issues. The project architect resented alternative
designs for 58 street. The Planning Commission felt that the City Eng ineer and the
architect should resolve this issue. In regards to lighting, the Plannin g Commission
requested to see a photometric plan and recommended to defer lighting approvals until
that plan is provided.
