,- time. They are willing to do some fine-tuning to the landscaping and additional remedial changes to the; drawings but believe they are the closest they can be to meeting the City's standards. The use of EIFS is used well above grade in low traffic areas and brick bases are being used along the lower level. Ms. Wenger read aloud Mr. Rerko's comments: 1. Call out all materials being used on the building, not just colors 2. Awnings should not have both internal and external illumination. 3. Details of awnings need to be provided 4. What materials are the canopies made of and how are they drained. 5. Are there any external downspouts or gutters on the building 6. Building material samples are needed 7. Make the columns larger or bring them closer together so that there is not a small infill panel on the inside of the columns. 8. Will windows and doors remain or be replaced 9. Do not like the EIFS over the brick around the building 10. Elevation on A4 is mislabeled its the back elevation not the front 11. Parking lot and walkways are not shown 12. Call out landscaping and what happens at property lines 13. No photometric plan submitted 14. What type of coping is to be used Mr. Post said the awnings would not be backlit and only gooseneck lights would be used over the awnings. The awnings will meet structural standards, have no visible framing and will be cardinal red 3M fabric material. The canopies are structural metal colored tortoise (dark brown), illuminated from below for safety and positioned to drain directly below. There will be no external downspouts or gutters the existing blacktop roof will remain as is and is angled to slop to a rear drain, there will be no open scoffers. Only the north two outside windows will be removed all other windows and doors will remain and the top-cap/coping will be a heavy gauge powder coated aluminum finish. Revised elevations will be labeled correctly. Ms. Wenger questioned if the applicant would expand or move the (north) front columns to ensure there is no infill space between the tower and columns. Mr. Post said the tower could not be expanded but he would increase the size of the columns to ensure the open space is eliminated. Mr. Bohlmann asked if existing briclcs were being removed and height added to buffer the mechanical equipment or was the EIFS being installed over the existing brick leaving systems exposed. He further questioned why masonry brick would not be used in lieu of EIFS. Mr. Post reviewed that once the existing mansard roof is removed 6 to 8 foot EIFS accent bands will be installed starting at the existing roofline and block all mechanical systems from view. EIFS colors include white columns, mesa tan top band and tanbark below the red accent band. Due to the age of the building the existing bricks can not be matched. In fact the brick face which is being used throughout the bottom of the columns is a manufactured faux brick face which will match the masonry brick color. Ms. Wenger advised that if there was no site lighting changes a photometric plan would not be required and Mr. Post confirmed there would be no alterations or additions to site lighting. Mr. Lasko questioned if there would be any modifications to the parking lot or sidewalks. Mr. Post said there would be not changes to the parking lot or sidewalks it is strictly building changes. The current landscaping at the site is plentiful, the rear berm is heavily treed and along the front between the driveways it would be difficult to add landscaping, but anything damaged will be replaced. 2
