|
Dana Westermark, Oris Development Corp., referenced correspondence received in relation to the proposed development and offered the following information in an effort to address the concerns cited: |
|
|
|
|
§ |
the proposed development will lower the water table and therefore reduce any pressure that currently exists with regard to the amount of water draining onto adjacent sites; |
|
|
|
§ |
with regard to size and massing, the proposed development consists of 12 residential units, which is less than ‘Nakade’ – the adjacent existing development – that consists of 16 residential units; |
|
|
|
§ |
setbacks along the south and west property lines have been increased in an effort to compact the building to fit the scale of ‘Nakade;’ |
|
|
|
§ |
in an effort to address privacy concerns, the proposed development has been designed with minimal windows on the east side; also, the proposed compact building form mitigates shadowing as demonstrated in the shadow diagrams included in the staff report. |
|
|
|
Mr. Westermark then commented on queries from a neighbour regarding heights and offered various dimensions with regard to the height of ‘the Pier at London Landing’ as it relates to the proposed development. |
