Ridge to eave not in proportion to other buildings and gives the impression that the top of the building is squashed. Height discussed of 106 feet to the ridge with elevator at 111 feet. Divided lights and variety of window sizes were discussed as well as the desire to eliminate the massing of the elevator shaft on roof and signage by roof shaft. Commissioner Smith liked the presented illustrations as it gave more depth and thinks the elevator shaft should look more like a chimney. Mr. Nook stated the elevator shaft will be used to vent for restaurants below. Commissioner McClinton felt elevator shaft still looks like a big box and the roof looks too short. He offered that making buildings dissimilar is more attractive. Textures, colors and material suggestions were offered.
