apartments and accessory buildings, was approved by a unanimous poll of Council.
4. COVERED PARKING SPACES
,{r. HcHi llan advised that the project will conform to ordinance requi reflEnts uith
respect to open parking spaces but fails to comply with the covered parking
spaces requ i red.
Councilrnan llartin called the attention of Council to the design of the parking
structures, stating that a view from the apartments wi ll reveal rrblock long walls."
llr. Person stated that only four feet of the parking structure will be visable
above the ground and will be landscaped to create a rrgarden wall'r effect.
A point was raised by the City Planner, concerning the number of covered parking
spaces that wi ll be lost and the number of open area parking spaces that wi ll be
gained by the elimination of one building, and in reply to further inquiries on
this point, Council was advised that if necessary the enti re parking structure
wi ll be re*noved to allorv for additional open parking, garden or play areas.
Councilman ,{artinrs suggestion that a roof be placed on the upper decks of the
parking structures wi th appropriate landscaping, was opposed by Hr. Person,
r.{ho stated that his final decision rvould depend upon the final number of conditions
that shall be imposed upon the project.
A final determination was made to rerpve from the proposed plan as much of the
parking structure as possible without altering the 6ne and one-halv to one
parking ratio required by ordinance.
