Minutes of the Special Meeting of <br />Planning and Zoning, Council, Architectural <br />Review Board and Citizens Advisory Committee <br />Page 14 <br />Mayor: These are all observations. We have to sift through certain personal preferences by color <br />selection, material selection, signage. We are not going to reconcile all those. It's a given that <br />someone is going to get their nose out of joint or feathers ruffled. What we are trying to do <br />though is if we are on the right course, we come back and try to look at the options in terms of <br />floor plan to try and incorporate these suggestions and see how they play out. My hunch is <br />certain things will improve and other things will either remain the same or get less and then <br />it's a question of what the priorities are supposed to be and how it will change things. With <br />this floor plan, you have apre-meeting gathering area before you go into the room. Is that <br />worthwhile or not? You have heard different ideas about that already. <br />Q: What is the difference in the square feet in the kitchen? <br />A: We have not gotten through all that yet. <br />Mayor: It's about the same size. Whether the cupboard space or other storage space is going to be <br />bigger, we don't know right now. In other words, we are not going to try to trade off, we are <br />going to try to be more efficient. <br />Q: I think it's wonderful you are going to try and think about the electronics and wiring. To have <br />the microphone work every time we go, that would be great. <br />Q: I know you want to maintain greenspace, but could we not move it in closer towards SOM or <br />a little closer towards Wilson Mills so the whole green area by the driveway could be more <br />parking? <br />Mayor: Yes, we can move it, but then what does it change? Part of the competing issues are, take a <br />look next time, if you break it up, do you lose something there. If you move it east, you are <br />starting to invade space we use for outdoor programming during the summer for all kinds of <br />events. <br />Q: I understand that, but you have a wrap around patio that people would be using. <br />Mayor: The structure itself breaks up the site lines and the connectivity between the two. We are <br />looking at this. <br />Q: You want to avoid getting too close to the Gazebo. Maybe it's something where that corner is <br />more of a soft corner and then you can go kind of both ways. You don't want to encroach too <br />much. You want to keep that Town Center Gazebo open. <br />Mayor: One of the things we looked at was do we make the building a little squarer? What we are <br />trying to do is the pattern, floor, movement and lighting is natural. Sometimes as a box, you <br />tend to lose that. These are all good points. <br />Q: You are going to make it more visible on Wilson Mills? <br />
