The remaining items will be addressed in an upcoming meeting. SITE PLAN MODIFICATIONS: None are proposed with this application. Revised streetscape improvements on the south side of the building, along Benchmark Road, will be addressed at a future meeting. Any modifications to the mall side of the project will also be reviewed at a future meeting, if required. BUILDING MODIFICATIONS: Tower Modifications: The four towers on the north side of the building will be detailed to exemplify the new name "The Seasons". Each tower will have a rounded arch (stucco) installed at the top to soften their presence and a subdued color statement which ties into the color of the building and the season it depicts. This theme was developed to display the beauty of the area during all seasons of the year. Each tower will be capped with a rolled standing rib metal roof element in steel grey. North Elevation Roof Fascia Modifications: The north elevation commercial level roof fascia is currently a flat plane, extending the full length of the building. Rounded arch awnings are proposed along the fascia to break up the flat roof form in this location. The awnings will be steel grey rolled metal, approximately 5 feet in depth. Enclosure of'football' area: The existing open terrace area (concrete deck) between the two existing buildings (North Building Residential Towers and the South One Story Building) is proposed to be enclosed for additional commercial/office uses. There will be entry vestibules at the East and West ends of this newly enclosed area which will be constructed of matching storefront glazing systems. The new enclosing roof structure will be structural steel framing. PLANNING AND BONING COMMISSION STAFF RE, JRT December 14, 1993 Lot 63, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision Seasons at Avon Final Design Review - Modifications The North parapet wall of the existing South Building is to be removed to allow the new football area roof system to drain and flow with the existing South Building roof system. This will allow for a uniform appearance of the new and existing roof surfaces when viewed from above. All roofing membranes will be the single ply (black) to match the balance of the reroofing. A series of skylights and roof monitors are being proposed on the new football area roof to provide natural lighting into the interior corridor and office spaces. Skylight details will be provided are a future meeting. Chimney Caps: It is anticipated that the existing chimney projections will be covered with a rounded arch made from metal and painted steel grey, complimenting the other proposed round forms being introduced into the building. The existing chimney boxes will be painted brick red. Porte Cochere: A new porte Cochere has been designed that ties to the scale of the first floor and coordinates with the overall softening of the building and ties into the "arching" details. The steel posts support a steel grey round ("rolled") metal roof. Project identifying signage will occur here and will be formally submitted with the complete sigage package at a later date. The existing concrete support columns along the street front will be finished in stucco in a base building color. A metal guardrail is proposed along the top of the retaining wall. Railing color will be steel grey. Exterior Color• A 'cool' color palette has been selected for the residential floors on the south side of the building, while a "warm" color palette has been proposed for the north side. A horizontal gradation in colors is proposed, by floor. A distinct complimentary color is suggested to delineate the commercial portion from the residential. A detailed presentation of the color theme, color renderings and samples will be provided at the meeting.
