The Guidelines recommend the use of brick, stone, or similar materials for the exterior building siding. Rustad indicated that he was proposing a heavy grade vinyl lap siding, but suggested hardy board as an alternative. The Planner indicated that the Architectural Guidelines talk about some masonry, preferably brick, stone, or stucco. However, the City Council can vary from those recommendations. The Planner also noted his recommendation for a larger entry structure to emphasize door locations. lie noted that the entries proposed fade into the backdrop of the building.
