Lot 13 Exterior Space: •Applicant will provide an updated sketch of this space at the September hearing. Similar amenities to the other outdoor spaces will be proposed.
Indoor Project Amenities
Indoor Project Amenities•Applicant has indicated it will review in detail opportunities for interior amenities in each building in the later stage of review and is open to adding interior common spaces. •The work required to confirm the floor plans and concepts presented at the preliminary level is extensive and incomplete at this time. •Applicant believes that opportunities for interior common spaces may present themselves as part of the work progressing architecture and the application to final plat. •Applicant understands these amenities to be a component of marketability, and will design its buildings with this in mind, as with all other market considerations. •Absent any regulatory jurisdiction, Applicant would request the types and size of interior amenities not be a condition or consideration by the Board at this time.
Lot 16 Parking•Applicant will remove.
Lot 12 Parking ?Applicant would propose to remove the spaces and add snow storage area.
Overall Parking for Master Plan •42 On Street Parking Spaces would be easily accessible and usable by all residents of the Master Plan
Parking Lots 10‐13•Any space labeled as compact in the project plans is 8’x18’•Applicant believes that many residents drive smaller cars, and that the use of these smaller spaces can enable more cars to park safely in covered areas. •Applicant believes these areas to be good locations for charging stations, likely provided for residents.•Building management will enforce parking standards in these areas.
Lot 10 Retaining Walls
Lot 10 Parking 375383Because of 8’ elevation change, passing cars will be at a significant grade difference above the parking lot. Screening will also be provided to reduce the impact.
Lot 13 and Lot 17 Parking •Original Master Plan Included 340 Apartments, not 390•Expansion of Master Plan to include the land used for Parking on Lot 17, would incorporate the underlying density of Lot 17 in this Master Plan. •That density would not be able to be built, as no additional density can be supported in the Master Plan beyond 390. •By using the land outside the MP for Parking, we preserve that density for the next Master Plan where it is easily fit and built.

Lot 10 Snow Storage •This is the only available and most logical place on the site for pushing snow•We cannot remove this area. •We suggest re‐routing the planned path as shown in red to prevent icing.
Snow Storage•Applicant is designing landscape areas that are usable amenities in warmer months to be suitable for snow storage in winter months. •This is necessary to ensure adequate snow storage and amenities given site density and parcel sizes.
Two Brothers Recreation Path•This issue was decided at Final Plat SD‐17‐17•A connection was not requested or required. •A sidewalk connection exists and can easily facilitate recreation path traffic and access.
Two Brothers Recreation Path
•As shown in this side by side comparison, the road network proposed for Two Brothers to O’Brien Farm Road is substantially identical to previous approved plan in SD‐17‐17.•Applicant has added 3 parallel spaces and moved curb cuts to account for new building configurations. •Two large sidewalks exist to connect to Kennedy and the Recreation PathPreviously ApprovedCurrent Proposal
Rec Paths at Urban Intersection •Applicant has previously discussed with the board, and again provides images related to rec paths and suburban/urban landscape. •Applicant is not proposing a rec path along O’Brien Farm and Lots 10, 11, 12 and 13. It is proposing a wide concrete urban sidewalk. •This can be easily used by those recreating. •Images follow.
Roadways Urban feeling tree wells and hardscape add a nice character.
RoadwaysNo green belt is included at parallel parking in many places in the City. This too enhances the urban feel. This highly structured urban frontage is the most relevant example of project goals. While the commercial use ads to this, the hardscape and structure is perhaps a more important element.
In contrast, these rec paths and green belts while attractive and no doubt useful are much more suburban feeling and less in character with the Project goals.
