Ms. McDonnell said the La Quinta brand standards require exterior changes to the building. The current fagade is EIFS which will be made smooth to mimic the brand standards. Metal flashing will be installed along the top of the parapet walls to replace the mansard roo£ The signage towers will be made of porcelain tile stones. The stone comes in three variations, samples of which were provided. Two paint colors, Mega Greige and Thunder Gray, will be the two priinary colors used on the EIFS. The Light French Gray color will be used for the metal along the top of the building. In addition to the landscaping, they will create an outdoor courtyard area for the guests to use. Sandstone pavers will be installed along with a pergola on the patio. A barbeque pit and a gas fire pit will be installed. Low-light bollards will be installed along the perimeter of the patio. The pergola will have sconces that match the sconces on the building entrances. Mr. Rerko asked if the EIFS near the ground could be a different material due to maintenance concerns. Ms. McDonnell stated that the brand standards show a continuous look from parapet to base. She added that the building was designed to support EIFS so they have elected to install EIFS and maintain it as necessary. Mr. Rerko said the decision is up to the designers. Mr. Malone was concerned that arborvitae and boxwood would be damaged by salt spray. He suggested using burning bushes and ornamental grasses instead to improve aesthetics and they would require lower maintenance. Ms. Nader clarified that the C-3 color shown in the plans would be used on the metal pieces along the top. Ms. Wenger asked that the legend on the color schedule be updated. Mr. Malone clarified that an additional sign will be on the west side of the building. Mr. Patel stated that the channel-letter signs will be installed on the bigger walls of the building. Mr. Rerko stated that the amount of requested signage does not look overwhelming in relation to the building, Mr. Malone agreed. Mr. Malone added that the building's location makes it difficult to see so the extra signage would be needed.
