The hotel will be located on the western portion of the <br />site, with the remainder of the site vacant for future development. The commission requested <br />various changes and additional information pertaining to lighting, signage, tree survey, <br />landscaping, in•igation, curb cut reinoval, sidewalks added, masonry dumpster, internal <br />circulation, cross access easements, dry basin details and proposed phase two development. <br />Applicant's submitted changes showing split face block below soldier course on the building, <br />east drive reconfigured, a tree suivey various landscape changes including sidewallcs and a <br />mound along Columbia Road and a possible future development plan. <br />The landscape plan shows no existing trees being saved; she recommends landUanlcing parking <br />to preserve trees. The internal directional sign would require a variance and is not warranted. <br />The additional wall sign facing I-480 will provide needed identification. The trash enclosure is <br />masonry covered in EIFS; she prefers all brick or split face bloclc to match the building. She <br />questioned the height of the storage enclosure and asked if it would be roofed as indicated in a <br />plan note. There is no loading/unloading area shown which is up to the commission if it is <br />warranted or not. The cross access easement needs to be documented. Ms. Wenger relayed that <br />Mr. Rerlco's comments were incorporated into the plan. <br />Mr. Conway said a variance for a second wall sign and third ground sign was needed. Wall signs <br />require an 8 inch variance for the height of type B on the north elevation and a 1 foot 6 inch <br />variance for type A on the south elevation. A 70 foot variance is also needed for the distance <br />between the monument and directional sign being less than 200 feet apart.
