Wight said if they were set back as much as 8' from paving they should be all right. He also suggested that sycamores are similar to the tulip trees and behave better in paved areas. Mr. Burton said they would fit in more with the 5th Ave. preliminary designs, and the applicant said that would be fine. Mr. Wight said columnar oak or birch would also give the same effect as poplars. Mrs. Block advised the applicant that his proposal would be allowed nine compact car spaces and that he could use them in the difficult parking areas. MR. WIGHT THEN MOVED, SECONDED BY MR.

RMH Mrs. Block said these plans were very preliminary in nature and at this point could not be given final approval. She said a substantial amount of grading will be required, but there was no grading plan included. The Engineering Department had indicated some circulation problems. A 20' curb cut had been suggested and removal of a retaining wall to facilitate circulation. Parking was not shown in total --none of the interior spaces were shown. The large areas of the site were not indicated as to landscaping materials. The applicant responded that the retaining wall was there because of the difference in elevations. He said the areas not shown as landscaped were recreation areas and would be grassed. He pointed out the undercover parking. He said there is a very dense and high existing shrub which they would like to keep instead of planting trees on the 5th Ave. side. Buildings and Grounds Superintendent Don Burton said he believed that shrub was Portuguese Laurel, and Mr. Wight said that was certainly an effective screen. The applicant said he was proposing a beige stucco siding and that he was trying to locate a mission tile in California that would, in color, be purplish to clay tile red.
