A trash enclosure is proposed on the south side of the parking lot. Construction details provided on Sheet Al.1 indicate timber or trek decking material to match the timber accent trusses. The enclosure is 6 ft in height and 80% opaque. The trash enclosure meets performance standards. Per Sheet A1.0, Site Plan, two (2) condensers units are shown on the south side of the building and a transformer pad is shown on the south side of the parking lot. These mechanical equipment components shall be fully screened by coniferous plantings or solid fence. The building will be sprinkled for fire suppression. As stated in the applicant's narrative, the intention of the entire development is to be a transitional element between the commercial buildings along Hodgson and the residential areas on the west side of the parcel. The aesthetic treatment of the building mass, transitional materials selected and attention to placement of filtering elements all have been designed with a "low key" transition from commercial to residential in mind.
