Gerald K. Richards (Olive Garden), Case No. 2071 Page 4 Building_ Materials As part of the exterior building exterior material the final colors, and C-ity Council They stated that redesign process, the applicants have changed the materials. As Sheet A-2 illustrates, the principal is now brick veneer. Although they have not selected we have informed them that the Planning Commission like the dark brick tones that are present in the area. they would address this issue at the meeting. A standing seam metal roof is shown along the front and two-thirds of the side elevations. This metal roof is located above the canopy, which we understand will be a dark green color. The location of the canopy is shown in plan view on Sheet C-l. The use of stucco has been limited to the area immediately above the main entrance. See the front elevation on Sheet A-2. Trash Handling Another improvement in the proposed plans is the inclusion of a trash handling area within the building. The location of this addition to the building is shown at the rear of the building. It is the lightly stippled rectangle immediately below the word component on Sheet C-l. The rear elevation shows the location of the door to service this area. This elevation also shows that this elevation will be covered with exactly the same exterior materials as the rest of the building. Engineering Considerations In the last planning report, we presented the following comments from the Engineering Department. a. Utilities need to be drawn on the landscape plan. By doing this, trees would not be located on top of any of the utilities. b. The plan shows curb around the parking lot, but does not state if it is concrete. It must be concrete curb. We met with the applicants and their architects and asked them to overlay the landscape and utility plans and make certain that there are no conflicts. They should be prepared to offer this assurance at the meeting. We also informed them that the curbing surrounding the parking lot must be concrete. They said that they understood that requirement, but it should be clearly identified as such on the approved plans to avoid the potential for future miscommunication. Landscaping The landscape plan has been modified. The applicants continue to indicate a, strong commitment to landscaping. They propose an arborvitae hedge around three sides of the lot. Green Ash are the primary overstory trees planted around the perimeter, with Honey Locust shown at the entrances and in the parking islands. Extensive ground cover and ornamental plantings are proposed around the building.
