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!

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.

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!

They are OK with the 3' difference, but they definitely want to see trees added in where the retaining wall is coming out.

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!
