Design Review Committee Action: Members Present: Larry McNiel, David Blakesley, Otto Kroutil Staff Planner: Tom Grahn The Design Review Committee {McNiel, Blakesley, Kroutil) reviewed the project and recommended approval with the following conditions: Architecture 1. The Con~nittee felt that a mere residential "feel" should be provided in the building elevations. This could be accomplished either by using a smaller brick block, in a 4 x 8 x 12" size, or by constructing the building out of precision block and adding a brick veneer to the exterior. The architect indicated that a 4 x 8 x 12" brick block is available and will have a sample available for DESIGN REVIEW COMMENTS CUP 89-24 - R C AGENCY Page 2 Planning Commission review. The current proposal proposes a 4 x 8 x 16" brick block. 2. The roof tile should be a barrel tile, and not a flat tile as proposed. 3. The proposed glass block should be replaced with standard windows. 4. The garage doors leading to the apparatus room should be painted to match the building exterior. :. Site Plan 1. A decorative paving/banding treatment should be provided at both driveways to break up large expanses of paving. 2. A low wall with a decorative native stone veneer should be p'rovided to screen the parking areas from public view. 3. Trees planted around the perimeter of the project site should be spaced at a minimum of 20 feet-on-center. Trees at the east project boundary should be extended towards Banyan Street. 4. Trees planted along the east project boundary should be moved away from the perimeter wall to prevent landscaping from. overhanging onto adjacent property. 5. Additional street trees should be provided. Based on.the project frontage and street tree spacing requirements a total of seventeen {17) street trees are required. 6. Additional trees should be provided within the landscape setback along Banyan Street. 7. The wall along the east boundary should be stepped down as it approaches Banyan Street. Sight lines should be plotted on the landscape plan to show at what points the wall height needs to be recessed. Other 1. The architect indicated that no roof mounted equipment is proposed. All equipment will be ground mounted and should be adequately screened by landscaping and low decorative walls.
