Staff Presentation/Committee Member Questions: Senior Planner Ebbs presented the agenda report and answered Committee Members’ questions. Applicant: Robert Beard was present. Mr. Beard stated that he wants to clean up the site and had a couple of questions regarding the conditions. He asked the Committee to reconsider eliminating the light poles in the landscape area, the trash enclosure having to be sprinklered and keeping the toppers on top of the pumps. He answered questions regarding the size of the toppers, adding details to the columns to tie into the building, the ACM blue material for the fascia, the lighting of the signs, the bollards and the pay phones. Public Comments: None. Committee Member Comments: Committee Member Bartram stated that he is not in favor of the toppers. He asked if the Committee could help out in the signage area by allowing them a sign perpendicular to Camino Aquajito and adding a logo facing Window on the Bay. Committee Member Sullivan stated that the property does face two streets and signage is difficult and suggested that the pitch of the canopy be changed. Committee Member Jacoubowsky stated that the gable facing north is the wrong idea and a straight gable roof with a ridge running east and west would be better to get some simplicity. Committee Member Latasa stated that he likes the idea of a trellis and simplifying the roof form. Chair Dawson suggested that the doors to the restroom have access from the inside the building instead of the outside. 3 Architectural Review Committee Minutes Thursday, July 5, 2012 Committee Member Davis stated that he would like to see the wrapping of the trellis detail to soften the look. Vice Chair Hill stated that he was not thrilled with the lowering of the height of the canopy and asked for data to show that having a higher canopy is better.
