Good afternoon, everyone.
Although we have not yet confirmed an ARB meeting schedule for the near future, I have been reviewing your recent
submittal and drafting the staff report that will eventually go to the ARB for review. I have found that a number of items
requested by the ARB were not included in your submittal. I think it would be unproductive to move forward to the ARB
without this information having been provided and considered in the staff report. I have outlined the items that are
missing below and in the attached document. If I've overlooked any of this in the current submittal, please just let me
know where to find it.
From the final review checklist, the following items are missing:
1. Top and bottom retaining wall elevations.
2. Wall-mounted light locations on the photometric plan and fixtures listed in the light fixture schedule.
3. Cut sheets for wall and site lights included in the site plan set (not separate, stand-alone sheets).
4. Architectural elevations drawn to scale.
For items missing from the October 21, 2019 ARB action letter, please see the highlighted sections of the attachment.
Once you've had a chance to review this information, please contact me to discuss next steps.
Thanks.
Margaret

Jessica,
Your submittal was received on March 9. On the standard schedule, that corresponds to an April 20 ARB meeting. We
don't yet have any direction on public meetings beyond April 5. When I learn more, I will contact you.
Thanks.
