Hi Scott,
Since the height has now been confirmed to be 9' and city code only allows a 6' wall without a variance, it needs tc
be visible from Royal Oak! I would like this entire email chain to become part of the public record along with the at -1

to me
They are not allowed to build a retaining wall larger than 6 feet, if it is visible from Royal Oak, without a variance. They
have not applied for a variance, so we would not allow a wall greater than 6 feet without going back to the Planning
Commission and requesting a variance.

Mike,
I'm sorry for the confusion. I checked with Public Works who reviews retaining walls and I have learned that the
retaining wall portion is 3 feet, and the screening wall portion is 6 feet. The answer to your question is that from your
perspective you will see a 9 foot face of the wall consisting of the lower 3 feet of the retaining wall and the upper 6 feet
as a screening wall, with landscaping on the wall.

Good morning Scott,
Can you take a look at the before and after photos and confirm the wall the developer is showing is only
6' tall! I circled it in blue for you. All of these photos were taken by the developer and were just sent to
me. It sure looks like a 9' wall to me• • • just like drawing allows them. If the code states max 6' why do the
submitted drawing allow provision for it to be 9' ?

Thanks Scott. I feel like we have walked this question around the block a few times.... I understand the
code only allows for 6'. You and I can both look at the plan and see 6' plus 3' making that wall 9' tall! All
I'm trying to do here is verify I'm reading the plan correctly, even if you believe that's not the developers
intent. Do you agree the plan clearly shows provision for it to be built at 9'

Mike, a six foot wall is what is allowed by Code.

I understand that. I live on Honeywood Lane and I share the north property line with this project.
According to the drawing it shows I will be looking up at a 9' wall. Can you confirm the height of the wall
that sits on the top of the parking lot. I'm not asking what's visible from Royal Oak. I'm asking if a 9' wall
will be visible from my backyard that shares the north property line.

Scott,
So just to understand this correctly, I will not see a 9' wall from the back of my house. Or is it a 9' wall
with a 3' terraced wall in front so I can only see 6' from my backyard?

Retaining walls are permitted to be over 6 feet if it is not visible to a public or private street. In my conversation
with the applicant he indicated that they are not proposing any walls greater than six feet as measured from
finished grade. They will not be allowed to construct a wall greater than 6 feet if is visible from Royal Oak, which
this wall is.

Scott,
I understand that's what the developer is saying, but that is not what's called out on the drawing. Do
you not agree? How tall does the city code allow it to be?

Mike,
The developer has indicated that the overall height will be 6 feet.

Good afternoon Scott,
8
I have a follow up question. Can you clarify the overall height of this wall? It appears to be 3' of
retaining wall plus 6' feet of screening wall making the total height 9'. Can you confirm the finished
visible height for me?

Hi Scott,
Thank you! Can you make sure the resolution gets updated to include this. It still shows the old one.

Hi Scott,
Have you received the updated plans that raise the generator enclosure to match the 6' high
parking lot wall along with the new wall that will close off the open end of the slope? If so can you
share a copy with me. The updated drawing in the resolution for Tuesday's meeting do not show
these changes.

Good morning!
Thank you Sir! I' m not see any changes to the height of the generator enclosure or the added wall
at the north end that will block off access to the slope. It' s my understanding that they will be
raising the enclosure to meet the top of the new 6' wall and then adding a wall on the other side
going towards Royal Oak and then turn and run along Royal Oak to connect to the new 6'
retaining wall that will be 2' of the property line at the bottom of the slope. Perhaps they haven't
submitted these changes yet? Please advise.

Good evening Scott,
Can you email me a copy of the updated site plans for the Holden Hills project (or provide a link
to it). It was brought to my attention by the developer that they are revising the number of
parking spaces from 55 to 59. They are also making changes to the height of the generator
enclosure and will be adding a block wall to enclose / secure the northeast side of the property.
Would love to have the up to date version for review prior to the 7/20 council meeting.
Thanks
Mike Price
