This project was reviewed at the February 16, 1989 meeting, at which time approval was not recommended. The Committee stated that the following items should be addressed by the applicant in the revised plans: 1. The building materials were deemed unacceptable. In particular, the Committee recommended deletion of the proposed metel roofing and the extensive use of split face block and concrete construction. The applicant was directed to explore alternative materials and finishes, such as plaster treatment of the block material, different types of block and to limit use of the split face block. In general, the building should appear more residential in character rather than industrial. 2. The Con~nittee reconmended fenestration revisions, including sizes, and shapes, particularly on the concrete tilt-ups and east elevation. Specific architectural details will be left to the applicant for review. 3. The Conmittee suggested an alternative roof treatment for the gym on the west and south elevation. A mansard-type roof was suggested to "lessen" the gymnasium's height. 4. The proposed color scheme should be revised to a different and less intense hue. A complete set of revised plans were not available as of this writing. However, some mentDers of the Committee have reviewed revised plans informally prior to tonight's meeting.
