All,
Attached is our “Applicant Response to Site -Specific Conditions” for Bainbridge North. We concur with the
recommended Conditions of Approval with the two proposed exceptions noted below and as annotated in the

MODIFY Condition 3.f : UDC Section 11-3H-4D.4 provides for Alternative Compliance as follows, “The director
may approve alternative compliance as set forth in chapter 5 , ‘Administration’, of this title where the applicant has a
substitute noise abatement proposal in accord with ITD standards and prepared by a qualified sound engineer.”
DELETE Condition 13 : The project complies with UDC 11-6C-3F “block face” requirement, thus the condition is
