As proposed, the designated private space for Unit 5 in the form of a 13' x 7' (91 <br />square foot) balcony is less than 100 square -feet and less than eight (8) feet in <br />minimum dimensions. Strict adherence to the 100 square foot and eight (8) foot <br />minimum dimension requirement would structurally encroach into the required <br />drive -aisle, require a redesign of the site. This would result in further increasing <br />development costs and may result in the loss of potential units onsite <br />Trash Enclosure Location (Waiver) <br />SAMC Section 41-623 requires that trash and utility areas be screened from <br />public streets and alleys as well as be physically integrated into the project. <br />As proposed, the trash enclosure is located towards the front of the property. <br />Strict adherence to SAMC 41-623 would require a full redesign of the site to <br />accommodate for trash pickup located towards the rear of the property. This <br />would further increase development cost and may result in the loss of potential <br />units onsite. To help alleviate this deficiency, the landscape plans provided <br />propose to screen the trash enclosure with vertical landscaping elements to <br />ensure the structure is not visible to the street. <br />Section 2.
