Planning & Zoning Board <br />March 10, 2004 <br />Page 4 <br />Mr. Tralle stated he would also like to see a variety of colors. <br />Mr. Johnson stated they were trying to use texture to differentiate the colors. <br />Ms. Breuninger stated they wanted to give each unit an identity. <br />Mr. Johnson stated he did not know if they could come up with 8 separate colors within <br />the same color scheme. <br />Mr. Tralle asked if they could put some other color into the buildings. Ms. Breuninger <br />replied the developer wanted to keep the colors neutral. <br />Mr. Tralle stated there was a lot of products and colors in the market, and not everything <br />needed to be neutral. He stated he did not want to see them all look alike. He noted they <br />were nice buildings and he did not see why they could not have multiple colors. Ms. <br />Breuninger replied she agreed with Mr. Tralle and that they could mix in some other <br />colors. <br />Chair Schaps suggested they alternate between a couple of different colors. Mr. Johnson <br />replied that was a possibility. <br />Mr. Pogalz asked if they used more color, would the brick also be changed. Ms. <br />Breuninger replied she would change the brick color also. <br />Mr. Johnson stated the Board wanted two colors, varying the shake, siding, and brick and <br />then varying those between the 8 buildings. <br />Chair Schaps asked if staff wanted to review this. Mr. Schaps replied they did want to <br />see it and he requested color drawings be presented to Council at their meeting. <br />Ms. Lane stated she liked the original proposal and she believed adding more colors <br />would just make it too "dizzy ". <br />Mr. Rafferty stated he believed the developer threw things on the buildings to meet the <br />minimums and he was not for this development at all. He objected to the full brick on the <br />front and that it was "overkill" and would look atrocious. He believed there was a way <br />this could be done better. He stated the colors and tones could be used as accent. He <br />noted he was not intrigued by what was being imposed, and he agreed with Mr. Tralle <br />that two -color selection was what they wanted. He stated he wanted to see more colors, <br />with more variety of brick and shingles. He stated he did not want everything to look the <br />same. He asked them for some creativity beyond what was being presented. He stated he <br />was not for or against the lap siding. He stated he wanted to see this proposed <br />development in a color rendering. He indicated color was extremely important in his <br />opinion in order to move this development through. He expressed concern that this <br />development would have a 1950's look if they did not mix up the colors. <br />DRAFT MINUTES <br />
