Design the office portion as the architectural focus point of the building by providing vertical variation between it and the warehouse portion of the building. 2. Redesign west elevation to eliminate large expanse of fluted area in center of building design.To make the elevation more architecturally compatible with the north elevation,the applicant should design the area between storefronts the same. Secondary Issues: Once all of the major issues have been addressed, and time permitting, the Committee will discuss the following secondary design issues: 1. Relocate the drainage swale near north drive approach so it does not interfere with the decorative driveway paving design. 2.
