CITY REQUESTED COMMENTS FROM ADP

Please comment on the overall form and character of this development and identify issues that the
applicant should be aware of
Architectural Comments:
• Review the building code and ensure you have incorporated the correct
vestibules on the parking level between the elevator lobby and stairwells.
• Further articulation should be considered for the corner feature massings. The
massings seem to be competing for dominance with the rest of the building,
particularly with the lower parking offset and varied window types.
• Reconsider the break between level 1 and 2, provide further definition
between the upper white cladding and lower darker brick.
• Concern about the length of the North-East Corridor.
• Consider more care in terms of the edges at the base of the building, where
the parking is. The openings would have a better, more detailed, treatment
and it would go far in terms of aesthetic.
Landscape Comments:
• Ensure the existing trees in the South-West corner are shown on the site plan .
• Recommend a gate on the multi-use path to provide a public/private
indicator.
• Ensure enough clearance is given around the bike racks.
• Recommend including a preparation table for the community gardens, as well
as some storage on the upper patio for supplies for the raised beds.
• With the perforated metal panels going up the balconies, consider whether
there is an opportunity to include a piece on the roof pergola to keep the
branding consistent.
• Recommend standing garden plot and wheelchair accessible plots.
