<br />IIBIIORAHDUM <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />June 11, 1992 <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Steve Sarkozy <br />Phil Carlson <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />PLANNING OFFICE HOURS, June 10, 1992 <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />John Stencel, Bob pounds¡ Welsh Co. <br />Steve Bachman, Retail Construction Services <br /> <br />Previously we had discussed with the Crossroads Shopping Center the <br />design of a new storefront for the Sears Homelife furniture store. <br />We were concerned that the neo-classical detailing of the proposed <br />facade was inconsistent with the character of the rest of the <br />center and told them that we would like to see it revised or <br />brought to the Planning Co~ssion and Council as a substantial <br />change to the approved Special Use Permit for the center. <br /> <br />Mr. Bachman is the architect in charge of the renovation. We <br />discussed various ideas and agreed that the Homelife facade would <br />be compatible if it would make use of the existing details on the <br />Crossroads building. He will revise the design and submit a copy <br />to us. If it appears reasonably similar to the existing building, <br />we will agree to process the renovation as a minor change. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />Dave Carlin, Bill penk¡ CSM <br /> <br />CSM will be developing the former Ruan site at County Road C and <br />Long Lake Road with an office-warehouse building that is almost <br />identical to the project previously proposed by Everest. Everest <br />had been granted a Special Use Permit for the project (office- <br />warehouse in the B-4 District), and being virtually identical, the <br />CSM project can simply apply for a building permit. We had <br />discussed a number of issues with them previously, including the <br />design standards for building materials. The design they now have <br />is almost entirely brick on the front and sides, but plain painted <br />concrete block in the back. We could not approve the building <br />without substantially more brick on the back, to make all sides <br />more consistent. We made several suggestions on how to accomplish <br />this. They will revise the design and meet again with us. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />Bruce Anderson, 1708 Oakcrest <br /> <br />Mr. Anderson met with us previously to discuss the vacation of a <br />small segment of Aldine Street right-of-way between him and his <br />neighbor, where Aldine stubs into the Crossroads Shopping Center <br />
