• • • Planning & Zoning Board December 14, 2005 Page 8 The board added Condition No. 16, requiring striping in designated pedestrian walkways. The board added Condition No. 17, referring to horizontal banding on the precast area, and allowing the architect and staff to come up with an appropriate use. Mr. Laden requested feedback on whether the base metal on the building needed to be strengthened. Mr. Hyden referred to page 24 of the guidelines, which specifies a base with thicker walls, some specific material mentioned, but no mention of metal. Mr. Rafferty asked the architect to describe the samples that were brought. Ms. Manion displayed some of the color options. She noted that the precast metal samples are in the range of colors offered, that these were a first attempt at color, but changes need to be made. They are still working on creating color samples. The board preferred the colors that were a deeper reddish brown, and those not quite so yellow. They agreed that the samples are the right approach, but would like to see more earthy tones. They asked if one color would be used on all precast. Ms. Manion replied yes. She said they are in favor of a lighter colored building as opposed to a darker colored building. She noted that the board should rely on samples versus renderings when looking at color. The board asked what the awnings are made of. Ms. Manion replied they are an aluminum piece that will project from the face of the brick. Mr. Rafferty questioned if the trellis design should be continued, as used near the kids area. Ms. Manion described that the openings in the kids area are larger. Mr. Tralle requested that the yellow sample be eliminated from the options. Ms. Manion pointed out that the colors will look very different outdoors, and that they will continue to work with staff to agree on exact colors. The board summarized the conditions of approval from the staff report, amending Numbers 11 and 13, and adding Numbers 16 — 23, based on the board and staff's recommendations. Mr. Hyden made a MOTION to recommend approval of the Final Plan of the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes YMCA subject to the following 23 conditions: 1. A minimum 2 inch deep window trim or two inch recess must be provided in accordance with the development standards for the site. 2. All lighting fixtures must be submitted and prove to be in conformance with the requirements of the LLTCDDG. 3. The shrubbery provided on the north side of the north parking lot must be revised to provide a salt - tolerant hedgerow that will provide a year round screen measuring a minimum of 2 feet high at time of planting and a minimum of 4 feet high at maturity. 4. The landscape materials must be substituted as outlined in the Environmental Board's Comments.
