Architectural Comments: • Consider wrapping materials on east and west elevation around the south façade; • Ensure adequate lighting above covered parking on south; • North elevation - consider sloped roof portion to be the same material as the wall; • Roof top screening consider extending the parapet to provide additional screening; • Provide articulation at material changes. Landscape Comments: • Salix sitchensis can get large – may get too large for space (24’-35’ height and width) good for wet soils. Recommend reviewing size of proposed tree symbols to ensure it shows mature size; mapleridge.ca Advisory Design Panel Minutes September 15, 2021 Page 2 of 3 • Review mature size of trees to ensure adequate space - I.e. southwest corner at garbage; • Parking planting bed on east side against road; recommend proposing material that is broadleaf evergreen or conifer to min 1m height to screen car headlights into street - perennials are beautiful but not sure if there is full coverage; • Rosa nutkana may not adequately screen garbage area for all 4 seasons. Recommend a taller broadleaf evergreen shrub or conifer to screen garbage from street; • Recommend reviewing screening material on west and south to confirm adequate screening from parking and public visibility; • Recommend showing tree protection fencing for all retained trees on all plans that site plan – landscape, arch, civil, mechanical, electrical; • There is a fair amount of greenspace room in the site. Recommend considering additional rain gardens or bioswales to detain stormwater in landscape; • Recommend using either structural soil or soil cells where soil volume is lower. Trees to have a minimum of 6 m3 volume of tree; • Consider adding parking islands with trees to screen and shade parking if possible; • Consider possible signage or signal of intersection at horse trail and driveway entry to manage potential conflict; • Consider adding low fence for separation between the pedestrian sidewalk and the horse trail.

Architectural Comments: • Consider more stepping back of the building from the street scape interface with the neighboring properties. Height of the building is out of scale given the context; • Prove the shadow studies that fully extends to the surrounding properties to show the impact of the building on the surrounding context; • In order to reduce the appearance of the overall massing consider adding additional colours, material and architectural elements similar to the neighbouring buildings for better integration; • Consider further softening material pallet to add warmth to the façade; • Additional building detailing required; • Updated rendering to reflect proposed landscaping that incorporate the retained trees.
