Approximately 500 sq. ft. has been eliminated due to the changes. Proposed colors and materials have also been submitted. Commissioner Dreary asked the projection of the screen walls. The screen walls project out about 3 feet and are perforated. There will be some garden landscaping placed on the inside of the screen walls. Commissioner Sullivan asked the applicant if there was a reason the screen walls were not continued to the back of the building, keeping them free standing elements. The applicant indicated that there was not a specific reason for this. Commissioner Sullivan indicated that because the building is not that far away the distance becomes much more obvious, whereas, if the walls were continued back either on both sides or on one side it would not be so obvious. He noted that some type of an opening would be needed so that entry behind the walls is possible. Mr. Diaz asked if the public works department would allow a meandering sidewalk along Fred Waring. Mr. Drell believes that they would allow the meandering sidewalk. The proposed building colors are muted and warm tones of tan, rose, terra cotta, with blue awnings. The building materials are frame and stucco with a quarry tile top. It was noted that only one of the proposed towers is a skylight that goes back over the roof of the building about 35 to 40 feet by 10 feet deep. The rest of the towers are implemented for decorations purposes only. Chairman Gregory felt that more articulation was needed on all the building elevations.
