A second issue is that of the architectural detailing. The Guidelines require particular <br />attention to the treatment of the details, such as the cornice and roof parapet, windows, <br />and doorways. A sculptural detail is shown on the buildings plans over the main <br />doorways, but no detail is provided as to the windows, and no cornice treatment is shown. <br />A decorative cornice treatment should be added to comply with the requirements of the <br />district. Additional detail of the doorway treatments and window style should be provided <br />by the applicant. <br />Finally, the Engineer has noted that the proposed sign is located within an easement. The <br />sign meets the required five foot setback, however, its proposed location in the easement <br />must be approved by the City, and a waiver of any requirement that the City replace the <br />sign due to work in its easement should be included in the development agreement. <br />in summary, staff believes that the Preliminary Plat may be approved, subject to the <br />recommendations made by the City Engineer regarding grading, drainage, access, and <br />utilities. <br />The site and building plans will require amendments to make them compatible with the <br />requirements of the Architectural Guidelines. These amendments include: <br />1. Additional landscaping on the site. One suggestion is provided which would move <br />the building toward one site property line, freeing up additional green areas. <br />2. Provision of detailing on the building at the roof parapet, such as a decorative <br />cornice. <br />3. Facade materials which consist of brick, stone, or other approved material. <br />Concrete block should be no more than a complementary material on the facade. <br />4. Additional information regarding entry door and window detailing. <br />cc: Kathy Glanzer <br />Greg Schmidt <br />Terry Maurer <br />Greg Schroeder <br />RJ Marco <br />PAGE 155 <br />
