Error! Reference source not found. March 8, 2003 Page 3 between the two rows of townhomes. This should adequately address the safety issue pointed out in my comments on the previous submittal. ^ It appears that a hydrant is located within the newly-provided loading area, creating a potential safety issue. This should be re-examined. Landscape Plan (L-1) It appears that the planters located along the commercial frontages on Larpenteur Avenue have not been repositioned to permit clear path for sidewalk snow plowing. In previous submittal, there was an ambiguity in the pedestrian route from Arona Street to the commercial uses, through the courtyard. The sidewalk plan for the courtyard has been redesigned to more clearly guide the pedestrians. New arborvitae plantings have been designated at the southeast corner of the development to "seal off' access (to the "corridor" between the townhomes and the south property line) from the Arona Street sidewalk. This is a welcomed improvement to the public safety aspect of this project. Garage and First Floor Overall Plans (AO-2) ^ Lobby area of the multi-family building has been redesigned to provide a more open and direct route for users, especially on moving days. 2"a 3`a and 4th Floor Overall Plans (AO-3) - No comments. Exterior Elevations (A3.1) ^ Some confusion over materials on West Elevation at Snelling: drawing appears to be brick, however, the labeling indicates that this surface material will be cement plaster. ^ The roofline and parapet has been redesigned to be more bold and delineated, which has added a very positive feature to the facade of the multi-family building. ^ The railing design for the balconies has been revised. This new design is in keeping within the overall architectural program. ^ More windows have been added to the corner units (2"d, 3rd, and 4th floors) on the North and West elevations, as well as a redesigned canopy for the commercial spaces on the first floor. This is also in keeping with the overall architectural program. Exterior Elevations (A3.2) ^ Materials on facades are not labeled. On previous submittal, the courtyard elevation (looking west) of the multi-family building appeared to have more brick than now appears on these new drawings. • Exterior Elevations (A3.3) ^ Materials on facades are not labeled.
