Active serwers arrl other utilities in the fo:rmer Gay Avenue right-of-way shall be located so that no part of the b.1i.ldi.n;J is b.1i.lt over an active utility line. Mr. Schocaner said this was :reclurmnt since it is specifiOO in the site plan arrl MSD requires it already. Mr. Price lOOVOO that this c:x:>rxlition be left as is. Mr. Wagner secorrled the notion, arrl all voted Aye except Mrs. '!hc::mp:;on arrl Mr. Schocaner, who voted Nay. 6.

Exterior mechan- ical equipnent arrl refuse storage shall be screened fran view' fran Delmar Boulevard. Mr. Schocaner lOOVOO to strike the first sentence since it has already been dealt with. '!he notion diOO. Discussion ensuOO on the merits of enclosing the heatirq arrl air c:x:>rxlitioning within a false roof. Mr. Wagner lOOVOO to change the first sentence to read "No heating or air c:x:>rxlitioning equipnent or duct v.rork on the roof shall be visible fran the groun:l level fran any aSPeCt. " Mr. Price secorrlOO the lIK)tion, which carriOO unaninx:lusly. 7. '!he layout of the site shall maximize the widths of larrlscapej yards on the north, east, arrl west sides of the property with the parkirq arrl drives laid out as far as possible fran the side arrl rear of adjacent hanes, arrl shall preseJ:Ve the century oaks with no excavation or equipnent pennitted within the drip line of the trees. '!he rear yard should be no less than 30 feet arrl the side yards no less than 20 feet. Mr. Schocaner said if preseJ:Ving the century oaks is approvOO, the proposed buildi.n;J cannot be b.1i.1 t. He lOOVOO to strike that phrase, arrl change the rear yard to 25 feet arrl the side yards to 15 feet. '!here was no secorrl. Mrs. Schuman asked what rnnnbers were required by the Code for transitional yards. Mr. Goldman said since this was a special use, an appropriate number nnJSt be usErl that makes the proposal acceptable on the chosen site-15 feet for the side (not transitional) yard is usErl in m:lSt places arrl he felt it was appropriate here, with 25 feet for the rear yard. He said the mi.ninn.nns should be close to Code requirements (15 feet) for transitional yards. His- torically, a 20% latitude has been allowed, which means a 12 foot absolute minilllum. Respc:>rrli.rg to Mr. Wagner, Mr. Goldman said it would be very diffi- cult to save the ancient trees no ma.tter hOW' the b.1i.1di.n;J is laid out. Mr. Price lOOVOO that c:x:>rxlition :/#7 be approvOO as sul:mitted. Again, there was no secorrl. In response to Mr. Price, Mr. Goldman said this c:x:>rxlition sets lim- its on where the b.1i.ldi.n;J ma.y be located on the site, arrl should ensure that the site plan will carg;>ly with the starrlards set by this c:x:>rxlition. Mrs. Schuman suggested that transitional yards be 15 feet on both side arrl back yards. Mr. Schocaner acx::epted that, however, Mr. Adams pointed out the parkirq c:x:>nfiguration must then be changOO. Mr. zilnbalist said the plan before Coun- cil was carefully prepared by professionals, arrl changirq it cannot be done easily because there are so many variables involvOO. Mr. Price pointed out that council was not dealing with a site plan but c:x:>nsid.erirq only the c:x:>rxli- tional use pennit. Mr. Price lOOVOO approval of corxlition :/#7 but emitting the phrase "arrl shall preseJ:Ve the century oaks with no excavation or equipnent
