The total square feet of signage for this building would not exceed 90 square feet. . Vice Chair Zimmerman inquired about the lot size. He asked when they had multiple lots in a development, what were the underlying zoning requirements. Mr. Hellegers replied this parcel was a large piece of property and as a part of the PUD it did allow them to have flexibility to look at different configurations. Vice Chair Zimmerman stated since these were office condominiums sold as individual parcels, then they had to go back to the 13,000 square foot lot size, unless they chose to vary from that zoning requirement. Mr. Hellegers replied he did not believe the intent was to have individual units of 13,000 square foot lot size. Vice Chair Zimmerman expressed concern about density on a smaller piece of property than they would normally have. Mr. Hellegers directed him to page 5 of staff's report where it indicated the density ratio was considerably lower than the maximum. Commissioner Larson asked if it was customary that they look at the main building material covering as being what is controlled by the ordinance, or is it all materials, or did they make exception for a minor use of that material. Mr. Hellegers replied at the time they were trying to do something similar to an Eden Prairie development in which it was brick all of the way up to the top of the windows with stucco above that. He noted it did not break down primary or secondary materials, but he wanted the Commissioners to know what they were looking at. He noted the design materials now being proposed were brick below the windows with hardy board above. . Vice Chair Zimmerman statcd hardy board in his opinion was less desirable building material than stucco. ---
