(7:2) |
| Notes: The motion for approval found that the design criteria for Planned Unit Development Districts in Downtown Design Zones had been appropriately addressed in granting initial approval of the project, like development and location of entries with details as discussed required to be addressed with final approval of the project noting that the entry is in the right place, the massing is correct, the relocation of front yard bike parking, the resolution of the north elevation entry and façade issues, entry as is but to be made better with consideration of alternatives to one color of brick, the adjustment of landscaping at the ground level to reflect lines of the building, those usable balconies to be a minimum of 5-feet in width or to provide for the inclusion of more glass within the openings and the following as noted:
· Significant work must be done on the northern elevation to provide a better relationship to Lakelawn Place. Specifically, the applicants must propose a much more prominent entryway and reduce the width of the garage door.
· Bicycle parking stalls located in the front yard shall be relocated elsewhere on the site.
· The “Juliette” balconies are sufficiently sized as proposed but the usable wider balconies must either be larger (5-foot minimum width) or include more glass within the door openings.
· Ground level landscaping must be improved to reflect the lines of the building.
· All changes in brick color between the fourth and fifth levels should be accompanied with a change in plane if a two-color brick design is maintained.
· The applicant must resolve termination of vertical vents on western elevation of the building with the extension of the cornice treatment of alternative measures.
· The alignment of windows within the northern part of the western elevation shall be centered within the recessed portion of the building.
