He pointed out how botri complexes were being designed to fit into the natural surroundings b.y stepping the building lines down to fit existing �round contours and using buildino materials that are of natural color, namely, dark colored brick,.redwood etc. The plan sho�•�ed a private service road connecting th� two complexes, access to the commercial at one spot from East Ri�rer Road with left and right turn lanes, access to the apari�ent to be ofi Libert�y Street with a second one off Ruth Street. � Tne sketcYies showed how the natural beauty of the existing site wou)_d be utilized with the pr�servation oi the creek and trees.
