buildings, he stated that the board should be aware that the pool is about 200 feet northeast of the truck dock with more than 100 feet of building structure between the truck dock and the pool area. .Also the buildings are set ba.ck about 25 feet fran the property line,. then they have a 25 foot buffer (with an 8 foot mound), then there is 30 feet to where the trucks are to be parked; and he does not believe that this particular concern is realistic.. He had no argument with Mr. Darcy, but they had done their own acoustic study showing that neither the trash compactor, nor the trucks at the dock violate the noise ordinance; and further, at the.instance of the Board of Zoning Appeals,and Planning Commission, they have added a.wa11 at the east side of the truck dock that is, at full height, 10 feet for the length of a truck to provide additional noise screening and they ha.ve also agreed to enclose the trash compactor withi.n a sound- proofed container. He is aware of the mound on the soccer fields which was constructed with excess dirt fran excavations, primarily to keep soccer balls away from the industrial roadway. Regarding the mound an the shopping center, there is at least 100 foot between the property .line and that development. Some of the other comnentary may be,helpful for their development. Mrs. Montillas, Clareshire Court, contradicted. Mr. Newberry's statement `and advised him that the end of one of their buildings is 10 feet from the middle of the ditch and the other is 52 to 7 feet from the middle of the ditch. She stated that Mr. Newberry cannot guarantee that a truck wili not come through there since there is a sharp turn when trucks pull off Country Club and pointed out that truck loads do shift and' trucks jack-lnife and an 8 foot mound will no.t stop this if a truck is on its side, and they are askir?g that the board take that into consideration. Regarding the materials, Mr. Newberry advised Mr. Zergott that integrated masonry units were appropriate for this building and the color:schemes and materials had-been reviewed,by Biskind'Development for compatibility with the Corporate Center. Mr. Bingham stated that, from their research, they have determined the integrated masonry Units is a superior material to what they presented before and would like recomnendations this evening. They would consider any comments the board r.iight make, but they would like to continue on with the process. Councilman McKay reminded the developer that.they had been given direction last week and failed to adhere to it. He stated that the direction they got last week was for a brick building. Mr. Sohn reiteratefl that the building should be as recommended last week, the lower portion on three sides of the building should be a brick ma.terial; the top portion could be Dryvit as proposed tonight, and the split face concrete block is all right above the band; the entrance should ha.ve a strong architectural statement, not box-like looking; also the screen wall on the east property line should be brick piers and connecting between the pier the 8 inch brick wall which must be structurally stable so that it does not tilt or slant. The color scheme is is a11 right;- but again some height is needed at the entrance to emphasize it. Mr. Darcy stated tliat they could do a brick through the wall with a 6 inch, if it would help in the cost. Mr. Sohn would prefer the 8 inch, but they might use the, utility size or regular size to be compatible with the hbuses which are briek. Mr. Darcy explained that the 6 inch brick could be used here. Mr. Sohn stated that he could recomend that if it were structurally- feasible with piers at 20 to 30 intervals with either the 6 inch or 8 inch brick to blend with the.residential building. Mr. Zergott stated that he Naould second that as a formal motion. He noted that the board had asked them to return with changes previously,- and they did agree to a special meeting, but there were not that many changes in the building itself: Mr. Bingham asked that they take a recess to discuss the motion. During the recess Mr. Sohn and Mr. Herbsman discussed what was wanted for the building. Mr. Herbsman would like to put split face block up about 32 feet from grade to prevent dama.ge to the brick at the foundation, but agreed to brick up to the accent line on the front and the north side, which they will carry around on a portion of the south wall to the garden
