Would like to keep the Chrystal Winters logo and are working with the City on what is a sign and what is not Ryan – it is very dark Tracy – it is an improvement from the blue 1 Grant – clarified the location of the paint Christine – likes the wood tone of the arch and thinks it softens the color Ryan – it would be nice to see some accent colors At some point would like to upgrade the columns; no changes to the windows; perhaps add some greenery Christine – noted the trio of colors on the paint sample; the Blue Note might have a better light reflectance; it would be good to put Midnight Dream and Blue Note on the building near one another to get a sense of the color; the little samples are hard to see and one can get a full grasp of the color better on the building Would be willing to do some samples Let staff know when it is up and the Committee will come out to review Motion: Christine – moved to table subject to review of the paint on the building Grant – 2nd Discussion: none Vote: motion passes unanimously The Standard, multi-family, 1515 Highway 93 W (ARC 23-25) The applicant presented the project. Provided an overview of the earlier pre-ap, location, landscaping, materials, building elevations and lighting. Tracy – likes the building colors; really likes the landscaping plan from the pre-ap and hopes this plan will get similar attention, as it was nice Ryan – color of windows? Dark bronze Agrees dark bronze would complement the building the best – better than black; but it really depends on any other metal that might be on the building – railings, fasteners, etc Christine – lighting? Bollards in landscaping, sconce lighting and canned lighting; cannot have uplighting and all lighting must be dark sky compliant Christine – will still need clarifications: window cladding color, lighting updates; otherwise looks like a nice project Ryan – asked about screening of rooftop mechanical; clarified building height? Christine – which direction is the metal panel? Vertical; lap is horizontal Ryan – doesn’t have a concern with the materials or the building form Christine – how handle the corner trim? Will have some sort of trim – very small; trimless windows? Yes. Diane – elevation from the highway? Quite a bit of distance from the highway to the buildings with landscaping Motion: Christine – moved to approve subject to review of the window color and updating lighting Tracy – 2nd 2 Discussion: none Vote: motion passes unanimously OTHER ITEMS 222 Central Avenue, façade change/awning material change, Gavin-Hanks Architecture (ARC 23-16) No one was present. The applicant submitted awning colors of black and white striped. The Committee wasn’t too excited about the white and believes it will look very dirty very soon. They suggested something more subtle – less prone to a grimy appearance. Motion: Ryan – moved to deny the white and suggested either the terra gravel or terra silver Christine – 2nd Discussion: none Vote: motion passes unanimously We have no quorum for the October 17th meeting so it is cancelled. The next meeting will be November 7th. Meeting adjourned at 9:40 AM 3
