Twenty-three more spaces will be needed for the added commercial space. The temporary parking will have approximately 80 spaces. The newly required 66 spaces will be added to Phase II of the project, with two levels of underground parking. At this point, there will be about 15 more spaces than are r•equ`r::d for Phases I and II. Nick stated the reasons for adding more commercial space in the first Phase - other projects which were to have started by now have been delayed, the Board was favorable toward more commercial space at the May 21, 1980 meeting, the public mall will be finished sooner, and the tax revenue generated. The total project will have 800 parking spaces, with Phase II they may have 915 parking spaces, 800 underground. With each phase they can have one or two levels of underground parking, depends on the amount of commercial space. Phase I has 88 spaces subterranean and 43 on grade under the building, that they would like to ^emove. The temporary parking is about 200 feet from the commercial space of Phase I, it will be kept clean and free from snow, it will be there for about one year. This change will not alter the footprint of the building or the configuration of the condominiums.

Everything on the site is sage and wild grasses, they will leave the sage on the upper portion of the site, the numbers on the plan are wrong - they correctly read 1) Blue Spruce and 2) Aspen, will be irrigated with a drip system.

Looking from the road, one overlooks the entire building, a natural aspect is being created, the trees will break up the view anti the wind. A light will be added to both sides of the driveway entrance, the Board would like to see a north elevation. The slope of the lot was d4scussed.

File No. 81 -5 -6 - Bill Pierce stepped down to represent this application, Mike Blair assumed the Chairmanship. There is a timber retaining wall on the road side of the lot, each side is about 1,500 square feet, log construction. Landscaping - an aspen grove to the south will be somewhat re-established, other aspen around the house, hopi crabs near the street, planting above the retaining wall and some bushes below, alpine currant. Elevations - log structure, 10 inch in diameter, peeled log, stacked and inter- locked, stone on the south face near the ground, each unit has its own solar greenhouse, the roof is cedar shakes. The stone will be river rock, the Wild - ridge guidelines state log buildings can be used in heavily wooded lots, may be a variation. 22 aspens will be added. Each unit is 1,500 square feet, a loft may be added at a later date, tonight's review is conceptual, they will include a structure for a floor to be put on (loft) and rough plumbing to the level below for that, it would be an owner improvement at a later date. Mirror images are not encouraged, this design is not exact although the units are similar, one unit hds two garages, one has one garage, there is a six foot offset in the building. Larry Goad, audience stated that the covenants committee would probably like to review this project since there are very few trees on this lot and log struc- tures are to be built on heavily wooded lots. Eric Smith, owner: the logs will probably be stained a gray color and will be peeled, to get away from the very rustic appearance, a log home rather than a log cabin. The Board discussedthe interpretation of the Wildridge guidelines regarding the joining of units by a common wall or floor. A letter was submitted to the Wildridge Committee by the applicant with reference to this item, it is at vari- ance with the covenants.
