These two buildings will be some of the largest structures in the Quarry project. All vehicular/pedestrian circulation and parking was established with the original plan. Leslie – landscaping concerns, there is very little green space around the buildings, the layout is dictating the amount of landscaping and we are always interested in livability for residents and project needs to have amenities. This project will have access to the pool and trail amenities within The Quarry, but they can show how the project is located within the overall plan. Leslie – Would still like to see a more refined landscaping plan, including species and other finish materials – this is schematic plan Tracy – we need to see the physical material samples. The applicant described the materials including real wood (probably cedar), metal will be minimized, veneer stone from the Flathead area, windows similar to the Quarry Paul – it is a welcome addition to The Quarry; curious about the height. 35-feet. They are going to be massive buildings and landscaping will be key; asked about keeping the trees along the path to help with the massiveness of the buildings; could consider using the same stone to tie the buildings together and change up the wood and metal Tracy – to approve the Committee will need to see physical samples, a landscaping plan and the details Leslie – is there any possibilities to re-do the circulation for more landscaping area Stormwater is underground Paul – carport or retaining wall for the parking along Wisconsin Avenue in order to step up to the larger building. Staff noted that detached accessory structures cannot be in front of the primary structure. A landscaping wall could meet City standards depending on the size. Staff also noted the two buildings cannot look the same and referenced the standards on page 52 (Section 6.7.2.) Motion: Leslie – move to table Tracy – 2nd Discussion: none Vote: motion passes unanimously 2 OTHER ITEMS • The Committee still has one vacancy.
