Re: Sawtooth Village CZC Application Resubmittal
Ms. Allen,
Enclosed please find the revised Site and Landscape Plan, Exterior Elevations and
Façade Fenestration plan for Sawtooth Village. The plans have been modified in
response to your comments.
1. A bicycle rack detail has been added to the Site Plan.
2. The landscape plan has been changed to show the tree size at maturity. A recent
accurate survey has been incorporated showing the existing tree locations. Additional
trees have been added at the east to achieve the requested continuous barrier at
maturity.
3. I confirmed that the existing north trees comply with the referenced Code section.
Additional trees are shown at the south planter.
4. Additional trees were added at the south parking area. A five foot wide sod
landscape strip was added to buffer the south drive from the rest of the vacant parcel.
The common planter was reduced to 7’ total width. The depth of 20 feet was retained
so the parking spaces are the same depth as the required accessible parking space
depth.
5. The new survey shows the Linder Street improvements, easements, utilities and
other requested features. A legend was added. Additional notes were added defining
the easements. The sidewalks and landscaped areas are hatched to indicate the
extents. New sidewalk locations on the north and east are defined. The interior walk to
Linder was deleted. The trash enclosure was found to be in the recorded easement and
was relocated and the drive thru lanes adjusted.
6. The west exterior elevation was changed to show the location of service utilities and
access to the mechanical attic. A 48” tall masonry wall was added to screen the a/c

units. Additional fenestration elements were added to achieve the minimum 30 percent
require by Code.
7. A new elevation sheet was added showing compliance with the fenestration
requirements.
Please review the submission and let me know if you have any comments.
