Margaret, I am sorry I missed your phone call yesterday, got tied up most of the afternoon. Yes, we will be able to plant
along that southern property line since the wall is gone. I will send a new grading plan with some mocked up trees on
there. Also,to cut costs, we have sloped the parking garage away from the building to essentially bury the garage more
into the hill. The garage is not visible from the EC, but figured I would point that out. It probably isn't altogether
relevant to the ARB review but part of the whole package! Stay tuned for a plan this morning, and we look forward to
hearing from you after you run this by the ARB. Thank you! As always! Mike

Mike,
I would like to run this by the ARB on Monday to make sure they are OK with the 3' change. Can you tell me if the
elimination of the retaining wall on the south side will allow for the row of trees on the southern perimeter to continue
to the eastern property line?
Thanks.
Margaret

Margaret, We have been working with some construction costing issues and it makes sense to raise the building for site
balance and to remove that retaining wall on the south side of the property. I have attached "before and after" pictures
here which document the negligible effect on the street view of the building. Do you have a few minutes this afternoon
where we can discuss to make sure we are on the same page? Thanks! Mike

Mike,
I reviewed this request with the ARB at yesterday's meeting. They are OK with the 3' difference, but they definitely want
to see trees added in where the retaining wall is coming out.

Margaret, I have enclosed the updated grading overlaid on the landscape plan. I have highlighted the changes. FYI, we
still need a wall on the far southeast corner because the grade drops off there (as shown on the attached). I am happy
to come by and visit with you or the ARB to go over this with you if you have any questions,just let me know, thanks!
