Subject: Building Permit Application for Phase II Langus Riverfront Park In response to your memo we received May 30 , 1990, reqarding Planninq Department review of the plans submitted for building permits for Phase II of Langus Park, the following issues remain to be resolved before the Planning Department will approve the building plans: 1. Plea�e submit your request for revision to SMA �/8-87 for reloca- tion of the roadway around the boat house and to delete the requirement that Ross Avenue be vacated as a separate document since it must be sent to DOE and it would confuse the issue if your memo of May 30 were sent since it includes items that are not relevant to the revisior. request. A revision to SM1� /{8-87 is re�uired if Ross Avenue is not to be vacated. Since there are plans for the relocation of Ross Avenue further to the east within the park with Phase iII development, Public Works would not require improvements to R.ss Avenue at this time, but the issue will need to be addressed at the time of road relocation. 2 . Shoreline Permit q4-89, Condition 3, required that detailed land- scaping plans be reviewed and approved by the Planning Department prior to issuance of any building permits showing planting de- tails around all proposed buildings, the hydroseed mixture proposed for the outside dike face and the general treatment pro- posed for other areas disturbed during construction. The Planning Department does not consider the landscaping as shown on Sheets L-8 through L-11 to be adequate. Please refer to the .1pri1 9 memo for specific deficiencies in your landscaping plans. Tu give you some guidelines as to what would be acceptable to the Planning Department, it was suggested in our memo of April 9, 1990, that at a minimum, Type III Landscaping, Ornamental Effects should be provided. As the name implies, the purpose of Type III landscaping is to provide a visual separation of uses from streets, so as to soften the appearance of parking areas, build- inqs and other improvements.
