DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MINUTES
APRIL 13, 1982
CASE NO. 168 C (CONTINUED)
Mr. Gregory reviewed the landscape plan and suggested the following
revisions:
A. That Cassia Artemisioides (Feathery Cassia), be planted
3 feet on center.
B. That Palm Trees be a minimum of 6' in height in the trunk.
C. That Gazania shall be planted 12 inches on center.
D. That groundcover be used instead of lawn in area on either
side of the driveway between the screen wall and the parking
lot.
E. That shrubs be planted on the west side of the
building.
F. That trees shall be installed on East side of the building.
G. That sizing of landscape materials be shown on final plan, with
� Olive Trees showing a minimum 18' branch spread and other
trees located accordingly.
H. That the Eucalyptus tree be either Rudis or Leucoxylom.
Mr. Smith concluded the staff report and recommended approval
subject to the conditions contained in the report.
Chairman Martin asked if the Board had any comments on the roof
structure.
Mr. Barton felt the parapet did not work with the rest of the roof. He
felt that it should be modified to be vertical rather than slanted.
Following some discussion Mr. Barton moved and Mr. Gregory
seconded to approve this case subject to the conditions listed in the
staff report and subject to the landscape plan revisions listed above
and the condition involving the redesign of the roof parapet. The
Board voted with the result being a 3-3 tie. The motion did not
carry.
Mr. Cook indicated that he would like to see about two more feet or
more overhang than what was shown on the plan.
Mr. Scott Gorges, Building Designer, indicated that there presently
is a 3 foot overhang around the building and a 2 x 10 facia. The
parapet itself is about 3 feet.
After further discussion, on a motion by Mr. Barton seconded by Ms.
Jackson, the Board approved the preliminary plan subject to the
conditions listed in the staff report and subject to the landscape
revisions listed above and the added condition that the overhang shall
be extended to four feet.
Motion carried 5-1 (Mr. Holden voting nay).
