Item 4The location of the two condensing units hasbeen changed from the building
roof top to the area below the entry deck in the side alley. Originally the condensing
unitswe going to be placed on the roof near the ridgeline but after review of the site
the location underthe deck has been determined to be betterfor protection of the
units, sound buffering and they will now be hidden from view. Please referto sheet
A3.2 and sheet A2.
Item 5 Remove abandoned grease fan exhaust chimney from the roof. Originally this
grease fan and chimney were thought to be active and we to be extended up to the
new roof. It hasbeen determined that the duct and fan have been abandoned . The
duct will be removed so there will not be a need for the new chimney.
Item 6 Remove the spruce tree from planter between the Unit 3 entry and the entry to
Bridge Street Bar. This tree needsto be removed during construction to perform work
on the building foundation in that area. The tree looksto be old and sick and does not
look like it will live very long. The tree hasgrown between two entry roofsand isvery
close to the building which could be deemed a hazard . The HOA does not wish to
keep the tree after construction. The tree is in a small planter which would be better if
filled with flowers or small shrubs.
If we can provide any further information please let us know.
Sincerely,
Ben Marion
