Lakewood Apartments, page 2 Oeveals/Recesses: The removal of the 2 inch reveals surrounding the windows has raised a greater concern about the unwillingness of contractors to warranty some of the elements involved in that type of construction and the possibility that it can not be accomplished when the hardi -board siding product is used. The current requirements of the standards are as follows: (There are two different citations -one for commercial and one for residential) Reveals. Windows and doors must be recessed at least two inches from walls or exterior trim to create shadow for visual interest. Recesses. Windows and doors must be recessed at least two inches from walls or exterior trim to create shadow for visual interest. Any decision to allow Hartford to not meet this requirement will more than likely trigger the need to revise this section of the design standards for the Legacy project. Color Palette: The third color being added to the palette does help to further accentuate the `bay' approach which is intended to create the look of multiple buildings built with zero lot lines. Staff supports the use of this third color. Central Element: The central element of the building has been differentiated from the other elements of the building and therefore staff feels this proposal meets the intent of the condition of approval recommended by staff and approved by the City Council. • ACTION Staff needs a recommendation from the board to forward to the City Council. Additionally, direction on whether the board would support amending the development standards is needed. Any amendment to the development standards will require a public hearing and will therefore need to follow on an upcoming agenda if that is the direction given by the board. ATTACHMENTS 1.
