ii)             necessary noise walls need to be integrated into the design of the buildings and constructed of same, or complementary, materials. Height should be limited as much as possible, and landscape screening is to be provided in front. Consider incorporating segments of rod-style fencing or gaps in the masonry wall to break up its length, beyond the distance that is required for noise attenuation;

 

iii)            rear elevations of houses backing onto the walkway block need to incorporate a high level of architectural interest and articulation to appear attractive as seen from the public space;

Fencing along this property line to be limited in height to a maximum 1.2m and masonry walls be limited to a maximum height of 0.75m in order to provide passive surveillance. Fencing along the walkway block to the west should be visually permeable ornamental fencing and should be enhance with plant materials on private property but maintain sight lines and natural surveillance;

 

v)             any masonry landscape walls (including the one at the end of the drive aisle) should be no more than 0.75m in height including caps and exposed footings;

 

vi)            the gates into many of the private amenity spaces requires access through portions of the properties (between houses). This may become a concern in the future if residents put up different fences or landscaping in their side yards;

 

vii)           the central tree looks like it will be highly impacted by the new driveway on either side and the guest parking spaces do not appear functional;

 

viii)          provide details for all external lighting and adequately screen from abutting properties; and,

 

ix)            Privacy fencing will be required along the north and east property lines in addition to plant materials;
