BOARD OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION 5 A. A landscaped buffer along 57th Avenue South results in a screened transition form the industrial uses to the east. A large stand of existing vegetation is retained in the steep portions of the site to preserve the natural feeling of the terrain. 5 B. Parking areas are broken up to serve individual building cluster. 5 C. The three story structures are sited in relationship to require - ments of the site's topography. 7.

Where existing topographic patterns contribute to beauty and utility of a development, they should be recognized and preserved and enhanced. B. Grades of walks, parking spaces, terraces, and other paved areas should promote safety and provide an inviting and stable appearance. C. Landscape treatment should enhance architectural features, strengthen vistas and important axis, and provide shade. D. In locations where plants will be susceptible to injury by pedestrian or motor traffic, mitigating steps should be taken. E. Where building sites limit planting, the placement of trees or shrubs in paved areas is encouraged. F. Screening of service yards, and other places which tend to be un- sightly, should be accomplished by use of walls, fencing, planting or combinations of these. Screening should be effective in winter and summer. G. In areas where general planting will not prosper, other materials such as fences, walls, and pavings of wood, brick, stone, or gravel may be used. H. Exterior lighting, when used, should enhance the building design and the adjoining landscape. Lighting standards and fixtures should be of a design and size compatible with the building and adjacent area. Lighting should be shielded, and restrained in design. Excessive brightness and brilliant colors should be avoided. RESPONSE: A. The topography has dictated retention of large natural areas. Approximately 38% of the site is retained as open space. B.
