Lyn2blomsten at Lino Lakes — Presentation by Wold Architects and Engineers <br />Brian Prunty, from Wold Architects and Engineers, delivered the presentation. <br />Board Comments <br />Mr. Root questioned why the building design changed from the October submittal to <br />the May submittal. <br />Mr. Prunty explained the October submittal simply displayed the concept for the <br />development, but it did not include the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, <br />and civil elements. Therefore, once those components were added to the design <br />plan, the floor plan and roof components changed. <br />Mr. Root expressed his appreciation for the original design from October. He <br />further clarified, the aesthetics of the design were appealing and it seemed to mimic <br />the design of the City Center. He acknowledged the design changes that had been <br />made since the May submittal, but was concerned the design appears to look like a <br />large hotel or corporate headquarters. Mr. Root also remarked on Lyngblomsten's <br />signage on the exterior of the building. He stated the monument sign would be <br />sufficient for informing passersby what the building is and therefore, the signage on <br />the exterior of the building is not necessary. <br />Ms. Peacock liked the three color schemes for the townhomes. She said the main <br />building's windows in this submittal were boxy and reminiscent of an institution <br />whereas the windows in the plan from October were more narrow, longer, and gave <br />more differentiation to the building's design. <br />Mr. Reinert said the design changes made since May's presentation were much <br />improved. He clarified this presentation had more depth and he remarked the Wold <br />team is moving in the right direction. <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />
