EMC 19.09.030(Al Pedestrian Access to Building Entrances is not being satisfied. • Unit entrances shall include lighting 2. EMC 19.09.050 Required Outdoor and Common Areas is not being satisfied. We had discussed before that you would be proposing to pay a fee -in -lieu of however, on the site plan you are claiming you are satisfying this requirement. Please know the proposal does not satisfy the open space minimums for the two new dwelling units. Please provide the necessary details showing how you qualify for a payment in lieu of per the standards of the code section and what those calculations come to. 3. EMC 19.12.120 Weather Protection. Subsection B.3. states the entire width of the main entrance shall incorporate weather protection. 4. EMC 19.39.030 Garbage Receptacles, Dumpsters and Recycle Bins — Placement and Screening. Bins must be screened from view from adjacent properties by using dense vegetation or by placing the bins in a structural enclosure. • If placed in a structural enclosure there is no minimum setback from property line. If however a structure is not proposed, a 5' landscape area must be restored in this area providing the "dense vegetation" screening required and the bins must be located outside of the 5' landscape buffer. 5. Please provide the valuation of the current proposal. If the contract price of work exceeds 35% of the assessed value of the existing improvement the site must be brought up to current landscape standards (EMC 19.35.030). 6. Please provide a landscape plan for the frontage landscaping. Though the area is narrow we hope to see vegetation that helps screen the parking area and soften the pedestrian experience. Please note that even if landscaping is not triggered based on EMC 19.35.030, maintaining landscaping to standards under previous approval is required. Type III landscaping standards can be found under EMC 19.35.050.C.
