Chapel Square Modifications to Final Design Proposed colors Applicant: Timberline Management Staff made a brief presentation of the application. The applicant, Dominic Mauriello of Braun Associates and Greg Gastineau of Timberline Management, made a brief summary of the colors proposed and asked if there were any questions. Commissioner Wolfe asked for clarification of the fascia, soffit, and bands below the railing. The applicant said that those will be treated as the trim, remaining green. Clarification for Building A and C. Those areas that protrude will be light brown. On the retail building, the block courses will be light tan. The applicant confirmed this for the Commission. Commissioner Wolfe asked about the green cornice, and said that it would not compliment the proposed new colors. Commissioner Macik, Smith, and McClinton agreed with Commissioner Wolfe's comments. Commissioner McClinton asked for clarification about the recessed areas around the windows. Dominic Mauriello asked about the questions, and pointed out that the lightness of the cornice if left as is will disappear. The applicant prefers the green cornice. Also, Dominic said that they would not want to paint any of the freestanding units but will paint the vents attached to the building. Railings and doorways would remain green, anything affixed to building would be painted brown to match the new base color. Elevated equipment that is attached to the building, such as that behind Masato's and Outback should be painted brown. Greg Gastineau said that the costs were prohibitive to paint to match the base brown on the mechanical equipment. Commissioner Wolfe moved that the painting and color scheme for Chapel Square is approved per the September 17, 2002 letter from Dominic Mauriello with the following clarifications: 1/ Fascias, soffits, and railings will be green. 2/ Areas referred to as recessed shall be the projected areas. 3/ On the back of the buildings, railings may remain green, but any mechanical equipment mounted or attached to the building be repainted brown to match the base. 4/Cornices will remain as they are and not repainted to match light tan. This includes Wal-Mart. Commissioner Smith seconds. Vote passes, with Commissioners Evans and Karow abstaining. B.
