Mr. Brewer told her not providing as much brick had been a matter of economics once the developers got into changing roof lines and adding 3 separate entrances for the ends of the buildings. However, he added 4 that he was certain that once she saw the buildings up she would change 5 her mind because putting the wood on the top floor of those two large 6 buildings tended to cut the scale down and added more texture and 7 interest to the buildings which would now relate better to the 8 adjoining residential areas. The developer said a need was perceived 9 for a visual transition between the large brick building across Kenzie 10 Terrace, the three story brick Building A and then a reduction of the 11 "mass" effect with the two story villa-type units with clustered 12 entrances. 13 Between 25-30 residents had begun to gather in the Chambers for the 14 recycling forum which followed and the illustrated drawings of the 15 project were shown to them. One person expressed the concern that it 16 might be masonite which the developers were planning to use in the 17 areas which were bricked. Mr. Brewer assured her the wood portions 18 of the buildings would all be in stained cedar wood and would present 19 a project in which the whole City could take pride. 20 Council Actions 21 Motion by Marks, seconded by Enrooth to waive the preliminary plat and 22 approve the final plat which would combine all legal descriptions for 23 property contained in Phase 3 of the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment 9 4 Project into a single parcel described as Lot 1, Block 1, St. Anthony 5 LaNel Addition.
