Mr. Rush Dixon reviewed the request with the Board. Mr. Swails asked if it is possible to incorporate more brick in the design. Mr. Dixon answered that their position is that there was not a need to incorporate brick as the site is considered separate from the adjacent buildings. Mr. Wurst stated that the original design had more variation of windows and hierarchy, with a strong corner element and would bookend both ends of the street, etc. He suggested that brick could be used for the end units with cementitious siding used for other elements such as the building turns the corner. He suggested that having different window sizes, particularly on the end units would help distinguish the different units. He suggested that the headhouse piece lacks texture and sensitivity because of the familiarity of windows. Mr. O’Neal agreed with Mr. Wurst in using more brick. He suggested that the previous design should be meshed with some of the new elements. Mr. Wurst moved for deferral in order to restudy the design to incorporate more brick and modify the headhouse component based on staff and Board comments. All in favor. 2.

Mr. Bob Rust reviewed the request with the Board. Mr. Wurst asked where the sculpture would be located. Mr. Rust indicated the location on the site plan for the Board. Mr. Wurst suggested that a brick base would not be needed around the entire building such as not on the tunnel portion and rear section. He suggested that there should be more openings on the south elevation. He suggested that the board and batten be restudied on the south elevation at the tower portion. He suggested that any acoustical evidence should be submitted with the final plans. He cautioned using hardiplank at grade as it could cause moisture and pooling of water around the building. Mr. Wurst moved for additional time to be allotted to the applicant. Mr. Swails seconded the motion. All in favor. Ms. Abigail Jenkins asked if the Board could approve having the adjacent parcel pad ready. Ms. Johnson answered that staff would need to research this issue to determine if it is within the Board’s purview. She stated that it could be determined with final approval. Ms. Jenkins stated that it would be important to have the grade so that it does not create a wetland area between the two parcels. Mr. Wurst moved for deferral based on staff and Board comments with the project to come back next month for final approval with determination of adjacent parcel to be considered with the final application. Mr. Swails seconded the motion. All in favor. With Mr. O’Neal abstaining. 3.
