City Council Meeting

Kathryn TaylorapplicantSo I thought it may be worth to go through some of those major revisions since we last met. If we go to the next slide, you can see I've numbered them one through seven. As mentioned by staff, that resource protection area to the back, number one, will continue to remain in its natural undisturbed condition. Furthermore, in response to concerns that we heard from the community, we are adding a buffer in the back near the George Snyder Trail. That's also in response to staff's request to add more plantings around the RPA and noise concerns that we've heard. So we would be installing a row of approximately 600 square feet of new plantings, including evergreen trees and other native and non-invasive plantings.

Number four, to provide enhanced connectivity from Fairfax Boulevard to the George Snyder Trail, the applicant now proposes to construct a new six-foot-wide pathway that will ultimately link to the existing six-foot-wide trail along the western lot line. This will require a slight enlargement of an existing island on the western side of the existing parking aisle that would result in the loss of one parking space. all new sidewalks on the site will integrate ADA curb ramps and detectable warning strips number five number six to continue to facilitate improved pedestrian circulation and the ultimate vision of the city for walkability in accordance with the city's long-term planning the applicant is going to widen
