During the meeting everyone did counts based on preferences of story height, which buildings to include elevators, and parking options including tuck under and parallel vs. reverse diagonal along the street."<br /><br />We talked about fire truck access which works.

The smaller buildings allow for the frontage to step with the sloping street topo. The developer really likes the design.
