The buildings are oriented differently and show a different color for a portion of the building.

Ryan – is it a different wood or different stain? Different stain Discussion about orientation of the buildings on the site Christine – concerned with elevation that feels like a backside; it needs something more to make it feel like a front elevation as it faces the street Leslie – continues to be concerned with the design being driven by the amount of asphalt and the small insignificant landscaping The site is constrained and circulation limits the landscaping; Phase III is a portion of the overall project with trails and the neighborhood center Ryan – would like to see more discussion regarding the space in between the buildings Leslie – could make an open space between the buildings Christine – is the central alley a requirement from the City or can it be landscaped? Motion: Tracy – move to table to look at the central alley between the two buildings for a small landscaping area and bring the materials for review Ryan – 2nd Discussion: Tracy – are the items different enough to distinguish the buildings from one another? Diane – reviewed the standards for the Committee 1 Tracy – would like to like to ensure if there are other items to be addressed, we do it now Ryan – attempts to distinguish between the two buildings Christine – not opposed to the design thinks it’s enough Tracy – orientation is helpful Leslie – appreciates the landscaping changes, it helps Vote: motion passes unanimously NEW BUSINESS none OTHER ITEMS • The Committee still has one vacancy.
