Amend Condition #9 to read: There shall be an additional pedestrian plaza between the proposed
buildings MS and M6 on the plan set dated July 21, 2011, with a gathering space and seating area to
provide an environment similar to the pedestrian plaza in front of buildings 59 and 510 and including
enhancement, setback, and/or rounding of the corner of M5 similar to that required of 59 and 510 in
COA #6.
Add new condition: Plans shall be revised to maintain 20' wide sidewalk along the frontage of the new
M3 and greater articulation shall be incorporated into the architectural design of M3 to break up the
massing of the single larger tenant space.
Add new condition: The open wedge at the rear of M3/M4 shall be enclosed so as not to become a
maintenance issue.
Add new condition: Plans shall be revised to incorporate a strong pedestrian connection to M6 that
continues the entry/promenade feel and connects M6 to M5 and the other tenant spaces along that
frontage.
Add new condition: The color and materials shown in the modified plans shall be revised to
reintroduce a greater variety as shown in the originally approved SPAR package.
