PZC Minutes 020194RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 A Planning and Zoning Commission Worksession was held at 6 P.M. Topic of discussion was the duplex definition and duplex connections. The consensus of the Commission was not to allow detached duplexes, even on steep slopes. The Commission felt that there should be a strong physical connection, in keeping with the definition of duplexes and that such connection should be a strong architectural form. The regular meeting of the Pianning and Zoning Commission was held on February I, 1994, in the Town Council Chambers, Avon Town Municipal Building, 400 Benchmark Road, Avon, Colorado. The meeting was called to order at 7:40 P.M. by Chairman John Perkins. Members Present: John Perkins, Jack Hunn, Buz Reynolds Sue Railton Rhoda Schneiderman, Hemy Vest Staff Present: Steve Amsbaugh, Direcior of Community Development, Mary Bolden, "Lown Planner, Charlette Pascuui, Recording Secretary All members were present at the worksession except Henry Vest and Patti Dixon. Henry V.sst arrived at 7 30 P.M , in time for the regular meeting. Patti Dixon was absent. Steve Amsbaugh stated that the applicant for Agenda Item number 4, Lot 42, Block I, Wildridge, has requested this be tabled once again and also the applicant for Agenda Item number 7, Lot 24, Block 3, Wildridge, be removed from the Agenda until the next meeting E;z PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 2 Lot 82, Block -I Wildridge Subdivision. McComic: fourplex. Final Design Review Mary Holden stated that the building is three levels. Building height is approximately 35' in height. Primary material is stucco, wHch will be a warm gray, with siding as an accent, with a cedar shake shingle roof. Landscaping consists of aspens, spruce, and shrubs. Holden stated that Staff comments are 1. All easements, setbacks and true limits -of disturbance need to be shown on the building permit application. 2. A culvert needs to be added underneath the driveway at the entrance. 3. The retaining wall needs to be taken out of the setback or a variance applied for. 4. Landscaping needs to located out of the snow storage. 5. The type of fireplaces need to be indicated. Only gas or certified solid fuel devices are allowed. 6. Building lighting needs to be approved by Staff prior to issuance of building permit. 7. All flues, flashings and vents be painted to match the color of the building or a flat dark color. 8. The meters be located on the building. Duane Piper stated that the site is about one and a quarter acres. The contours follow a ravine and face towards the south, southwest. The site is relatively steep, but there is a reasonable shelf that is on the upper portion of the site. Three units are about 1300 square feet and one is about 1450 square feet. The units parallel the contours and also stagger, because in the same direction of the contours is a very good view. This also allows a reasonably good breakup of the massing. While they have a stagger, what he has elected to do with the two middle units is have the roof span over both units in one element, so what you have is a short roof, a long roof, and a short roof as opposed to four broken up roofs. It also allows a larger overhang in one particular portion. This will allow protection to some of the entrys. One thing that allows a bit more interest is that the south unit is slightly larger. The materials are mostly monolithic, being stucco in just a warn gray color, but they have tried to accent with the other colors provided. The windows will be a light sage green and the pipe railing would be a slightly darker sage color. There is also a play of colors in the gray. The garage doors are actually a tone darker than the stucco. There is a band that goes around the top that will be wood siding, a I x 8 channel rustic cedar and would be done in an Olympic 911, which would come off slightly lighter than the stucco. So, there are three tones of the warm gray. In the landscaping, they are trying to frame and soften the ends and give some introduction from the PO4 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 3 Lot 82, Block 1. Wildridge Subdivision, McComic Fourplex. Final Design Review (cont) roadway that comes down to the four units. One thing that came up at conceptual review was the downhill elevation to the west is about, at its most severe point, about 4 feet taller working from a point at the north end. It was asked if he would consider wood siding on that end. He stated that he would prefer to keep a rather monolithic approach. What he did do was increase low, medium and high shrub landscaping to the back side, so that it would be softened. Chairman Perkins asked if the applicant had any problems with the Staff recommendations. Mr. Piper stated that he had no problems. The only one that stood out was the retaining wall. He thought a boulder gravity wall could encroach into the setback. He does not think it will be a problem moving it out of the setback. He stated that he could comply with the recommendations at building permit submittal. Mary Holden stated that the lighting needs to be approved prior to submittal. Perkins asked about the site lighting. Piper stated that they would do is highlight the driveway coming down and into the boulder retainage with low landscape lighting. Then each unit would have a light immediate to their entrance. Rhoda Schneiderman asked if the building lighting would be master controlled. Will it be on all night? Piper stated that it would be individually controlled. Schneiderman asked if there would be anything over the garage doors that stays on. Piper stated that they would master to one meter the site lighting, but the lighting to the units would be per unit. Perkins asked if it would be a soffit light. The applicant stated it would be. Discussion followed on the reason for the use of landscaping on the west end, rather than adding siding. Jack Hunn stated that the staff report states : , iximately 35"' and he asked if the project would have to meet a 35' maximum. Mary Holden stated it would. Hunn also asked Ms. Holden to clarify :he wood burning fireplace regulations. Holden stated that wood burning, like an open hearth fireplace, is allowed in Wildridge in single family or duplex units, with a fee of $1,500.00. Anything three units or more are not allowed to have an open hearth. They can have gas or certified fuel. Hunn asked if there would be a project sign. The applicant stated that there would not be a sign. Hunn stated that the deck on the northeast corner of the northern unit that appears to cantilever towards the east, but does not turn the corner and there are no columns to support it. The applicant stated that would be done by brackets. Hunn asked if there was a reason that they do not want to wrap that corner and return it to the chimney element. The applicant stated that they could probably could still get a column in the comer that would be clear of the garage and accomplish that very thing. Hunn stated that the unit on the opposite side of the building has a deck that wraps the corner and it is a very attractive feature and he thinks that this corner, being closest to the road, and a first impression, would benefit from wrapping the comer. The applicant stated that he would not have any difficulty with that. He had originally designed it that way. Hunn asked if the landscaping was supported by an automatic irrigation system. The applicant stated it was not. A PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 4 Lot 82. Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision McComic Fouiplex, Final Design Review (cont) He stated that they hoped to, through property management, get it started and then not use as much irrigation. Hunn stated that in the past they have given that latitude to single family residences and even duplex developments, but with multi -family, they encourage an automatic system so that it takes the opportunity for failure eway from it. Since some of the aspects of this project relies on landscaping to soften =t and that landscaping fails it would be detrimental to the project. The applicant stated he t!unks it is a good point. Hunn stated that the proposed landscaping, for four units seems to be a little light, but the site is limited for embellishment. He would feel better about it if there was an automatic irrigation system. Hunn stated he thinks it is a good project. Buz Reynolds asked about the sewer line disturbance, which will be considerable. He stated that he thinks great care should be made in bringing back that scar. Reynolds asked it the lighting will go all the way to the street. The applicant stated that the driveway lighting would probably reach the end of the property, which would be about 15' off the cul -d -sac. Henry Vest had no comments. Rhoda Schneiderman stated that she would like it specified as to what type of revegetation would be done. She stated that she does not think the landscaping is adequate for this building. It will probably take five or six years for some of those five gallon shrubs to even reach three or four feet high. She thinks that without water, they will not survive. She feels it is imperative that there is some sort of drip system, r not a sprinkler system. She suggested using landscape to soften the garages. The applicant stated there is not really any room to add islands. Sue Railton stated that there is room there for people to put pots, etc. Rhoda Schneiderman stated that she also thinks that the deck should wrap around. Sue Railton stated that she likes the design. She stated that she thinks there has to be substantial planting on the west elevation, even some aspen trees. She also recommended, strongly, that an irrigation system be installed. Chairman Perkins stated he concurs. The west side will be perceived as the back side and people will not go around to water very often, therefore a need for an irrigation system. He also likes the concept of wrapping that deck. The applicant stated that there had been discussions in design phase of doing an automatic sprinkler system and it was just left as a consideration during the final drawings. He thinks that should now be included. Also, he thinks the deck can wrap around. Perkins asked about the revegetation of the sewer line. The applicant stated that they hope to replant some of the sage that they disturb, along with the grasses. tA► PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 5 Lot 82, Block 1, Wildridge Subdivision, Final Design Review, cont Jack Hunn moved to grant final design approval with the following conditions: 1. The deck on the northeast corner wrap around the corner. 2. The landscaping be supported by an automatic irrigation system. 3. The site dis.,:rbance, and specifically the sewer line, be revegetated to match the native grasses. 4. The meters be placed on the building. 5. The flues, flashings and vents be painted to match the color of the building or a flat dark color. 6. The landscaping he located out of the snow storage areas. 7. The exterior building lighting be approved by Staff prior to the issuance of a building permit. 8. A culvert be added to the driveway entrance. 9. All easements, setbacks, and true limits of site disturbance must be shown on the site plan submitted for a building permit. 10. The boulder retaining wall be removed from the 10' setback easerient or a variance granted prior to issuance of a building permit. Henry Vest seconded, and the motion carried unanimously. Lot 74. Block 1. Wildridge Subdivision. McComic Duplex. Final Desien Review Mary Holden stated the duplex will be two levels and will have a detached garage. The primary material for the garage and the duplex is stucco, red sandstone in color. The roof will be cedar shake shingles. The landscape pian includes aspen and shrubs. Holden stated that true limits of site disturbance needs to be shown on building permit plans. The Town Engineer wants the applicant to be aware that drainage may occur into the duplex connector. The slope east of the duplex needs to be 2:1 slope. The garage overhangs cannot be in the setbacks. Fireplaces need to be indicated, The driveway at the road needs to be 4% for the first 20 feet and they are showing 6%. Also, the Staff needs to review the building lighting prior to building permit issuance. Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: W\ Iti PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 6 Lot 74. Block 1. Wildridge Subdivision. McComic Duplex. Final Design Review (cont) 1. The meters be placed on the buildings. 2. The flues, flashings and vents be painted. 3. The building lighting he approved by Staff prior to the building permit. 4. All easements, setbacks, and true limits of site disturbance be shown on the site plan submitted for a building permit. 5. The first 20 feet of the driveway must maintain a maximum of 4% slope. Duane Piper stated that this is a site that has in its natural state about a 20% slope, but given the fact that they have a cut and fill across the street, they end up, from road condition down on to the site, with about 30%. What he has elected to do is come off of the driveway, cut traverse across the site and terminate the vehicular access at that point. That still leaves the structure for the houses high on the site. So what he has elected to do at that particular juncture is to detach the garage, which would be a two car garage, one for each unit. He then stepped down an additional five feet to the main level of the structures, which would be the upper level and then within the structure, you would go down from that. This seemed to be a little bit better way to handle the site itself. The basic concept was to come up with three simple pods that would be basically close to a square form, but not quite. T lien to take the two residential units and juxtapose those at an angle that would be a little bit more sensitive to the topography and allows the entrance to splay open and make more of a welcoming statement. The units are a quite simple form and he has tried to pronounce that simplicity by using primarily a stucco. He provided samples of the red sandstone and siding color which iE an Olympic 908, kind of a blue green. The landscaping is fairly simple and surrounding the building itself and framing the building. Some effort has been made to revegetate the downhill side of the driveway, which would be totally regraded and totally disturbed. Regarding the Commission's comments at conceptual design review about the windows, they have elected to raise the walls or the roof on the units and make that a nine foot eave instead of an eight foot. This allows the opportunity to be a little bit more interesting in creating windows and their treatment. They have elected to do with a nine foot wall is to choose an eight foot header height which allows a bit more interest in how the windows are done. Because one unit has a little bit different positioning, relative to the garage and site, they have changed the windows from one unit to the other on the front and back entirely. Buz Reynolds if the color sample was close to what it would look like on the stucco. The applicant stated that the sample is a bit darker than it will be on the stucco. Reynolds asked about the finish of the stucco. The applicant stated it would be a very fine finish with a swirl. 004 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 7 Lot 74, Block I. Wildridge Subdivision, McComic Duplex Final Design Review, (cont) Reynolds asked if the connections for the big shed would be big metal braces. The applicant stated that the middle element of that will have rough cedar truss work. The brackets will be painted the same color as the railings, the blue green color. Jack Hunn asked what the soffit material would be. The applicant stated it would be T-111. Hunn asked if they would do anything special on the seams. The applicant stated that they will be running those on a stagger, so on some occasions you will see a butt, but given the fact that the bean; breaks it up and then it comes into the housing. he doesn't think there is a joint longer than eight feet. Hunn stated that he thinks the applicant has addressed the mirror image concern very adequately. He is still concerned with the maneuvering space within the driveway. There isn't any dedicated area for maneuvering and avoiding backing into the street. Mr. Piper stated that just beyond the two stalls dotted in there is a space towards the drive for them to pull into that. It is a very tight site. As far as the two stalls, he thinks they can actually back across the apron and turn out. Hunn asked how Staff feels about a driveway width of what appears to be ten foot. Steve Amsbaugh stated that they will check with the Town Engineer regarding this. Hunn stated that the ten foot width, quite often gets narrower with snow accumulation. Hunn stated that the garage elevations that are most prominent to the roadway are windowless, and doesn't have a lot of interest. It is all one material. Did you give some consideration to adding some small windows to add interest. Mr. Piper stated that he has never ever put a window in a garage in his life. He stated that what he was really after was a very simple statement with a garage and to try to lead on beyond that to the other two units. Hunn stated that the other way to mitigate that would be with some landscaping. He stated that he doesn't see any landscaping proposed to help soften that corner. The applicant stated that he had two concerns regarding that and they were that the driveway had to come down in order to create the two extra spots and the other was that was the snow storage area and so he was keeping the vegetation out of it, but if indeed they had aspens up against the side it would tend to break that up. Hunn stated that the introduction of aspens in that area would probably be the better solution. Henry Vest stated that he would agree that a window would help in the garage, not for the appearance, but so you could see what you are doing when you walk into the garage. He asked what the dimensions of the garage were. The applicant stated he believes it is 22 x 24. Vest questioned the sizes of the windows in the living room. The applicant stated that the living room to the east unit on the north elevation would be overall six feet by six feet, with a header height of eight. The other side is affixed over an awning ihree feet by six feet. Vest stated that on the end elevation it shows two french doors. The applicant stated that there are two french doors but only one is active. He is just trying to get the continuity of all of it being french doors across the spread. Discussion followed on the shade of the red sandstone color to be used. Vest thought it was pretty dark for the mass of the buildings. WR PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 8 Lot 74, Block I. Wildridge Subdivision McComic Duplex, Final Design Review. (cont) Rhoda Schneiderman stated that the color is gradually growing on her. She stated that she thinks this building would look much better in a redwood siding. She thinks that they need to put at least three aspens, if not four or five on the garage side. She thinks the windows look fine. Sue Railton stated that she Hkes the colors. She also thinks that some trees need to be added to the garage to soften it. She would like to see a better solution to the parking and turnaround area. Chairman Perkins stated that the consensus was that at least three to five aspens need to be added to the garage side. Staff can check off on those. He stated that he likes the design. He was uncomfortable with the wing that connects it. He stated that he likes the stucco and also the color. Jack Hunn asked what the landscape finish would be below the entry connecting element. The applicant stated that they have simply come to the face of that deck and shown shrubbery to mask it a little bit. Hunn asked about using gravel there. The applicant stated that they were thinking about using a redwood bark underneath there. Rhoda Schneiderman felt that they could grow quite a bit down there, because of the natural drainage and the shade. Sue Railton moved to grant final design review approval with the following conditions: 1. The meters be placed on the building. 2. The flues, flashings, and vents be painted to match the color of the building or a flat dark color. 3. The building lighting be approved by Staff prior to issuance of a building permit. 4. All easements, setbacks, and true limits of site disturbance must be shown on the site plan submitted for a building permit. 5. The first 20 feet of the driveway must maintain a maximum of 4% slope. 6. Three aspen trees be added to landscape around the garage. Jack Hunn seconded and the motion carried with a five to one vote, Henry Vest voting nay. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 9 Lot 97, Block 1. Wildridge Subdivision. Romanelli duplex. Conceptual Design Review Mary Holden stated Lot 97 has slopes ranging from 16 to 22%. The proposal is for a two to two and one half story duplex that will be made of concrete, utilizing a gunite process, with a metal roof which will be painted golden rod. Holden stated that Staff would like detail on all the retaining walls on the site. Also a complete grading plan and certified topo of the site. The driveway grade exceeds the Town of Avon standards, at 11%. The building is abutting the setbacks and overhangs are not allowed in the setbacks. The building height may be over 35', but no scale was provided on the elevation submitted. Also on the grading plan, true limits of site disturbance must be shown. Regarding the materials, concrete is allowed, but with specific approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission. As far as the metal roof, the design guidelines, rules and regulations state that large expanses of bright reflective materials will not be acceptable. As a conceptual, there is no Staff recommendation at this time. Mr. Romanelli state that their concerns at this point are the concrete and the roof. Fie just got back in town and he cannot answer the comments on the driveway grade, etc. He stated that as far as he knows there are no roof overhangs. What abuts is a flat roof. The retaining walls would be at most about a foot high and he would avoid them if he could. He described how the concrete walls would be done. They will look like stucco. He stated that there are two roofs on one side and one on the other that are metal and the €est are flat. He didn't feel that was a big expanse. They will be a goldenrod color which would not be very reflective. They are looking at the economics of building it this way, but if they cannot go with the concrete it would be a regular frame with stucco. Sue Railton stated that she finds the building a little imposing for the lot. Going from setback to setback with no relief is really pushing the limits on the lot. She certainly does not like the thought of a metal roof on this type of building. In that location in Wildridge, the Commission would not consider a metal roof at all. Rhoda Schneiderman stated that she thinks it is a beautiful house. The tall stack like chimneys bother her. She asked what going to the setbacks would do to adjacent projects. Mr. Romanelli described where development would be on the adjoining projects. She stated that she would have to see all four elevations in order to see what the rest of the roofing would be before making a determination on the roofing material. She stated that a concrete tile roof would look good on this building. Henry Vest stated he thinks it is a pretty nice building He had concerns about the tall stack. He asked what kind of deck it was that is over the entry. Would be there be any drip from the deck. The applicant stated that it would be concrete. One of the reasons for the deck is to cover the walkway. Vest stated that he would not be in favor of the metal roof. r, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 10 Lot 97. Block I. Wildridge Subdivision. Romanelli Duplex, Conceptual Design Review (cont) Chairman Perkins stated he likes the perceived quality he sees in this concept. At the same time it is an imposing building, but it may be far enough from the road that the perceived setback to setback may not be as great as they think. He also thinks that with the quality of materials and design, a tiie roof would be better than a metal roof. He stated that the applicant needs to provide all four elevations, and the items mentioned by Mary Holden need to be addressed. He stated that he would encourage the applicant to continue with the project. Jack Hunn stated that he concurs with most of the comments. He thinks this can work with a sensitive landscape solution. He would have a hard time supporting a metal roof on this, primarily because of its location and reflectivity from this roof to other properties above it. He too would encourage the applicant to go forward with this. It would be a good project for the subdivision. Buz Reynolds asked how the concrete would be applied. The applicant stated it would be a sand float. Reynolds stated that he thinks it will be smocther than the applicant thinks. Reynolds asked what the parapets would be finished in. The applicant's response is not clear, as he was away from the microphone. Reynolds stated that he would never give a positive vote for a metal roof in Wildridge. He stated that he thinks the building is kind of exciting. Since they are using an awful lot of the lot, the landscaping will have to be pretty substantial in order to break up the impervious materials. That will be extremely important. He does not see how the 11% grade will work. the applicant stated that this is the first he has know of that. Reynolds asked the applicant to provide a sample of the concrete finish. Chairman Perkins suggested that the applicant also provide a smaller scale site plan that could show the development on adjacent lots so the Commission can get a feel of how this is going to work between existing development, as far as the setbacks go. Chairman Perkins stated that those were their comments. As a conceptual review, no action is taken at this time. Lot 38, Block 1. Wildridge Subdivision. Duplex Conceptual Design Review Mary holden stated that the site is relatively flat. It has a seven percent slope. It will be two levels and materials consist of cedar siding, stucco and gray asphalt shingles. A grading plan and certified topo needs to be provided showing grades and true limits of site disturbance. Detail on the stone walls which are located in the front and on the side yard setbacks needs to be provided. The stone wall needs to be taken out of the setback or a variance applied for. Also there is a question if that is a concrete driveway. If it is, an asphalt apron where it ties into the street needs to be provided. The building orientation faces south. Staff would like the applicant to indicate the type of fireplace. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 11 Lot 38, Block I. Wildridge Subdivision, Duplex Conceptual Design Review cont The building height is 35'. There are potential snow shedding problems in front of the garage. For final design review, Staff would like the building materials and colors called out on the elevations. As a conceptual review, there is no formal recommendation. Michael Sanner described how they decided the location of the units on the property. He stated that he would look at the retaining walls and see if they can just regrade it. Otherwise it is a pretty straight forward stucco building that looks out towards the New York range and Beaver Crxk views. The east unit, the garage, does have a secondary roof that wraps around back where the meters will be hidden in a stone and roofed side vestibule. This will provide a secondary roof for snow. They are not certain whether the drive will be concrete or asphalt, but they can provide an asphalt apron. Chairman Perkins stated that he is excited about the perceived quality of the proposed development. He particularly likes the east and west elevations. He would like to see a little bit of work on the rear elevation. It needs something. Buz Reynolds asked if the vents would be just sticking out of the roof or will they be in chases. The applicant stated that they had not thought about it. Reynolds stated that he would like to see them in a chase. He stated that he likes the builJing. The one elevation in the rear does need more work. Jack Hunn stated that he agrees. lie thinks it is a very attractive building, and creative use of the site. The north elevation might be improved by introducing a second material, of some kind of a shift in the east unit wall plane. This style of architecture relies on a pretty broad overhang and as they go through final design and budgeting he would encourage them to try to salvage the broad overhang on the building. It is an essential ingredient to the character of the house. Chairman Perkins also suggested maybe some higher landscaping on the north side of the house might help. Henry Vest stated that he thinks it is an excellent use of the site. Rhoda Schneiderman stated she likes the project. She stated that she would encourage them to use the heaviest possible support beams for the roof features that they can find. She has a problem with the caps on top of the stucco chimney. It seems to let the soot go down around the stucco. She asked if they were wood burners. The applicant stated that they are gas. Sue Railton stated that her only concern is the north elevation. Something needs to be done with that. F1 n PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 12 Lot 38, Block I. Wildrid re Subdivision. Duplex Conceptual Design Review.

Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision, Library, Discussion Item Steve Amsbaugh stated that Pam Hopkins, the architect for the Library project, is present with an update. Ms. Hopkins provided more drawings of the project. Buz Reynolds asked if they had any dealings with the people for the rec center yet. Ms. Hopkins stated that she has see the mass model and the buildings seem to be quite compatible. She stated that she is keeping a little abreast and she will pursue that more. John (Perkins stated that they would encourage them to communicate with them with respect to the possibility of coordinating stone materials, and possible colors, and site issues. Ms Hopkins stated that they have been in contact with them regarding site issues. Ms Hopkins stated that the first drawing shows the latest in where the building is located in relationship to the new road location. There will be a little drop-off where the entry is. the next two sheets are revised floor plans. the nest plan is the roof plan. The next pages are the elevations. What they have come up with is the board and batten and stone and above that a linear element which would be a board and batten every two feet, but then a horizontal in the middle in a rough sawn material. They are overbuilding the roof over the meeting room to create a little half dormer These same elements are just going around the building. Buz Reynolds asked if the roof is staying at an 8:12 pitch. Ms. Hopkins stated that it is 3:12 and 8:12. Reynolds asked if they had looked into a non -sheen metal roof. She stated that they had not yet. They are not quite at that level. They will be checking on it. Chairman Perkins asked if the large rectangular mass on the west elevation was board and batten. Ms. Hopkins stated that this war, glass block at the end of the stairwell. Perkins stated that the proportion seems a little bit large. Ms Hopkins stated that they are sti'.l working on that element. The computers are just in from the stairs and they do not want any direct light, thus the use of the glass block, but they have not quite worked it out yet. Reynolds asked it there was any way to work in a clad system to the block that would match the rest of the clad windows Ms. Hopkins stated that they could look at that. Perkins asked if they had any idea of the color of the roof yet. Ms. Hopkins stated that they did not know yet. Ms. Hopkins stated that their modified schtdule is that they will submit in two weeks. Discussion follewed on where the pedestrian walkway wcuuld be. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES February 1, 1994 Page 13 Tract G. Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. Library. Discussion Item. (cont) Ms. Hopkins stated that what has been stalling them is the roadway, all the information and the grading from the Engineer. This is taking a lot more time than anyone expected. Jack Hunn stated that in the discussion on the rec center last week there was some discussion about the architectural style difference and could they be compatible. The conclusion was that they could be quite different, but it might benefit both projects if there was some similarities in the use of materials and some strong opportunities to link the two in landscaping and pedestrian elements. Ms. Hopkins stated that the rec center consultant is taking the lead and their consultant will have some input into that mall area. Hunn stated that he thinks it is coming along nicely. He likes the skylights and the ridge, and he likes what they have done to the dormer on the east side. He thinks that the two elevations that face north and south are very attractive. He likes the use of materials. The cantilevered element on the southwest corner is a nice feature. fie agrees that the glass block is something that needs additional study. Perkins asked what the spacing would be on the pole trusses on the interior. Ms. Hopkins stated that it would be 21 feet, they span 42 feet. Henry asked if the little dormer is board and batten. Ms, Hopkins stated it was. Rhoda Schneiderman suggested a frosted window, rather the glass block. Sue Railton stated that she likes the project. She stated she does not mind the glass block, but the proportion needs work. Ms. Hopkins stated they were working on it. Chairman Perkins asked if she needed any thing else from the Commission. Ms. Hopkins stated that the comments were fine and thanked the Commission. She stated that she thinks she will submit in two weeks.
