Director Istenes explained that the proposed project consists of removal of the existing drop-off area pavement in front of the building and replacing it with new colored concrete. A new pedestrian walkway and seating area, also in colored concrete, will be installed from under the front arcade to the drop-off area. The new sidewalk will extend west of the new drop-off area to new steps and paving near the Brentwood Boulevard public sidewalk. The applicant is also proposing to remove the existing landscaping within the drop-off area and in the landscape bed west of the drop-off area and replace it with new landscaping, including some trees. The proposal also includes installing new up-lighting and bollard lighting for the drop-off area. The applicant is requesting the public sidewalk in front of the building be sandblasted and that three parking spaces on Bonhomme Avenue be designated as 30 minute tenant parking. The Department of Public Works will take these requests into consideration, but they are not part of consideration for this application. Director Istenes noted that the proposed new landscape is simple, but will create a new, fresh look. The proposed plantings are likely to be impacted by high salt use on the drives because they are not in raised beds. There are 3 street trees being removed from the right-of-way and 11 trees being removed from the site with a total of 87.5 caliper inches for site trees. Director Istenes stated that staff recommends approval of the project subject to the following conditions:
including the following requirements:
A. The public sidewalk adjacent to the work shall be removed and replace with the City standard sidewalk’s
B. The street trees identified to be removed shall be replaced with City approved trees against the curb line. These three street trees are shown not to be replaced in the right-of- way due to the new design; street tree replacement is one for one.
C. New irrigation lines have to be run to the relocated street trees.
D. The deficiency in caliper inches of trees will have to be made up on site by planting additional caliper inches or compensation to the City of Clayton tree fund.
