Planning Coramission Hih_Jes - January 2, 1985 Page 3 Planning File 1569, Cont'd: 7. At the earliest stages of this proposal, both the Planning Comaission and the Council expressed concern regarding the exterior materials to be used. It is important that brick be the exterior material. Mr. Dahlgren indicated the landscaping plan is well done. Mr. Dahlberg, architect for the applicant, made a presentation concerning the project. Mr. Dahlberg indicated the rock face concrete block is the appropriate exterior material for this project. He indicated the scale of the block, which is larger than brick, is more appropriate for this development. The rock face block is not sub-standard material; it is the correct material for this project. Discussion Berry asked what the plan is for serv~c~ng the shops on the second level of the center. Dahlberg indicated there are entrances via stairs on the rear of the building. Dressler asked whether the HVAC equipment will be visible from Fairview. Mr. Dahlberg indicated all equipment on the roof of the east wing will be visible and \oli11 have to be screened. Matson asked how the traffic and lights will be screened from the residents to the north. Dahlberg indicated there will be dense planting of evergreens and a vine- covered cyclone fence. He indicated it will take some time for the evergreens to grow into a dense screen. Dahlberg also indicated the grade at the north has been revised to make it less steep. Matson asked about the trash enclosures. Dahlberg indicated the trash enclosures will be constructed of the same material as the building. They will be open on top. The trash enclosures will be at the rear of the building. Johnson indicated she was concerned that trash be collected during reasonable hours. Berry asked how the northern side of the building would be lighted. Dahlberg indicated there will be down lighting on the wall. Matson asked what is involved in maintenance of the ponding area. Drown indicated it is essentially a grass-cutting job. Matson asked whether the pond will handle all of the increased drainage. Drown indicated the pond only handles water from the two new centers, and should work well. Matson asked whether the right-of-way dedication on Fairview is a problem. Dahlberg indicated it was not.
