requirements for building materials in the design standards section of the zoning ordinance. The north elevation currently is a long painted concrete block wa1I facing County Road C. To add architectural interest and to confonn to the design standard, the applicant is proposing to add a series of brick pylasters and an aluminmn facia to tlus elevation. This interesting architectural treatment, combined with additional brick in the remodeled office area, will give new life to this elevation of the building and in staffs opinion, is a good strategy to bringing an existing building into compliance with current design standards. . Trash Handling The site indicates that the trash compactor will be located at the northwest comer of the existing building. The trash compactor will be screened by a building attached to the existing facility, which will be constructed of brick to match the pylasters. . Landscaping The landscaping plan presents a good mixture of deciduous and ewegreen overstory trees to provide year round interest and screening. It is concentrated on the perimeters providing screening of parking and loading areas. The north elevation is immediately adjacent to the railroad tracks and therefore, no room for landscape materials is available here. However, the applicants have expressed an interest in working with NSP, with a thought of enhancing the appearance of the intersection of County Road C and Fairview. This, in conjlU1ction with the ultimate County Road C trail system, could prove to be a benefit to the entire community. . Signage The applicants are proposing to add signage on the north elevation. As indicated on the plan, it would consist of individual letters identifying their name, combined with a logo for their major product line. The exact details of the sign need to be completed before a sign application can be reviewed by City staff, but the size of the sign, as proposed, is well within the design standards of the City code. 6( d)-3
