She assumes there will be <br />landscaping in the insets. It will not be a flat, straight wall. <br />Moline asks if Public Works was okay with the modification of the retaining wall. Dean says yes. <br />Hsu says regarding the retaining wall, it says it is approximately 430' long and a maximum of <br />3.9' high. Is that a constant north to south? Dean says the applicant can answer that. <br />Rice asks regarding the retaining wall, given the space restraints coupled with the drainage <br />easement, are there alternatives? Would they have to cut into the parking lot? <br />Dean says it would affect overall site design and circulation through the site. This allows them to <br />most efficiently use the site. I don't think this building is too large for the site. They are proposing <br />flex use. They want to make sure trucks can get in and turn around. <br />Pritchard says doesn't a retaining wall over 36" required to have fencing. <br />Dean says they are required to have a handrail. <br />Zuccaro says the applicants can confirm whether this is on the plans. There is some distinction <br />in the Building Code if there is an adjacent pedestrian way. If there is not, handrails may not be <br />required. <br />Applicant Presentation: <br />Josh Heiney, Red DC, LLC, 1855 Pearl Street, Suite 20, Denver, CO <br />Bryant Mazzetti, Powers Brown, 1580 Lincoln Street, Suite 400, Denver, CO <br />Dan Skeehan, Kimley-Horn, 4582 S Ulster, Suite 1500, Denver, CO <br />
