. � .1' , ,:.,..� r •• i Dec�mber 18, 1y�7 TQ: FROM: SUBJECT: Jim Andre Gharlie Honchell and Craig Waldron ROSEPOINTE BRICK W'ALI, Th� Rosppoi.nte project was originally a�proved April 17, 198&, with a spe�ifiG condition th3t the proposed wall be constructerl of b:rick. (The approval letter is attached.) The wall depicted on the o�iginal plan was simply a concept that had not been farmally developed, tnus staff approval of th� final pians c•�as one of the conditions. 3'he cieveloper and architect ;subsequently met with th� City Plann�� ar�c� Building Tnspector regarding the final pl3ns. The plans depicted a majar wall across �he front of the Forum �part- ments, which w�s to be constructed of decorati��e block si.mil.ar to the ma�erial fcr the base of the building, and having brick ac�ents. The City P1ann�r and the Building Tnspector at tha� t�.me did not notice the Fact that the wall was no� being con- struct�d o� brick. Th� wa�.1, whinh is virtually camplet�, creates a problem in th�t it is not t�chnically constructed of Arick. Staff and the City Plann�r met with the developer and the respective architects to discuss the fact that the wall ind�ed is not brick. �t is the d�velop�r's position that the wall dae� m�et the spirit of the Cour�cil's r�pecia�. condition and, therefore, does not require additional madification. The a�:chitect for the dev�loper also po�nts out ti�at he was v�ry caref u2 to present each�part of the dev�lopment to the Cit�, and thus had approva� to proceed with �h� wall as �roposed in the: plans. The plans reflected the use of concrete block. A meeting was schedul�d with th� developer�, �ity staff, and the architect. At this meeting, it was decid�d thut the developer should formulate a final plan For thz wall which includes enhanced landscaping. This plan would then be revi�w�d by the �ity Council t� ascertain whether it do�s or �oes no�.ineet tlie City intent that the wall be constructEd of vrick. ,
